German anyone?

[Dragonspirit12]

I was wondering if anyone on the forums speaks german. I was looking for the german translation of snapdragon online and I found Schnelldrache courtasy of dictionary.com's translator. but I know how accurate that can be so I wanted to check with a real person who speaks the language.

In case no one else does, I can ask my dad when I see him this weekend. He's full German and still a German citizen.

Although I'm neighbours with Germany (just a 2 hour drive to reach the border...). Learned German at school and graduated with that language as one of my courses I don't like to speak it for personal reasons
But I can tell you that Löwenmaul is a lions mouth and that Schnelldrache is a fast dragon... that might not be what you're looking for....

OK I had a german customer come in today and he had a hard time to come up with something but came up with Lowenzahn (put the umlaut over the o)

My Dad says this one is correct. Mazzzja is correct also, it does literally translate into to "Lion's Mouth". He said you can also spell it as "Loewenmaul".

Its either or spelling as the umlaut or the two dots mean that once upon a time there once was an e that followed the letter, just like a contraction

That's right Löwenmaul or Loewenmaul is the same.

But Löwenzahn is a lions tooth....
