Just call 'em seaturtles and landturtles like other Germanic languages. Then you can just ask them how they identify and throw them wherever is best suited.
The Hungarian word for turtles (both land and sea one) translates to "frog with a bathtub"
The German word translates to Shield Toad
That is fuckin badass
Also in Dutch. It's "schildpad".
German gets too much credit for compound nouns. Dutch is really good at it as well: bromfiets, snelweg, etc.
Hungary is a silly place. The bathtub is upside down then.
Actually.. not bathtub, more like trough.
Still upside down. But imagine you had to carry a trough on your back. Which way would you turn it?
But what about the one in the US Senate? Surely we can throw that one into the ocean. No?
Those ones belong in a pond, preferably in a Tesla.
The ocean is polluted enough.
That means he'll die regardless of which he is!
Does not compute. Turtle stuck in my bum.
