Well I did see this the other day
I think the Dutch may have nicer words 
Yeah, especially Mo-Do had some great lyrics…^^ Although they’re from Italy, I think
But if you understand a little bit of German, I can really recommend R.M. Rilke - he’s my favourite german poet 
Dutch and German are very similar, in a way, but especially these words always create some problems…^^
Dutch is German without the insane grammar.
Krank house?
House of Kranks
Crazy House.
Hospital and Spital are also valid German words. However…
Sairaala
Of course
I would mention the (Scots) Gaelic word for Hospital is Ospadal, but frankly I suspect that that is a loan word from English. Doctor is Dotair while Healer is Slànachadh which also suggests Doctor is a loan word.
Teacher is Tidseir while Professor is Ollaimh.
I am not an etymologist though (or an entomologist come to that) so I have no sources to back up these observations.

Krankenhaus roughly translates to House of the sick. Which is almost as beautiful as Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän
Shop coming along nicely. This poor old girl hasn’t seen the light of day for a few years now.
Swedish made steel by NOHAB @ 99lbs.
There is no metric equivalency for such manly steel.

You mean my Ridgid #303 2-1/2 lb anvil ringer? 
Nope, but I did feel my beard instantly fill in when I picked it up.

So it is a 45kg anvil and a 1,136g hammer.
And I am pretty sure that the Swedes use Metric.
I thought it was a Toffee Hammer.

Sure nowadays,
Not so much in the early 1920’s (when this one was made), I’d presume.
Here’s a fun one, the earlier anvils had their weights marked in the English Hundred Weight system. It had three numbers. My anvil would then be 0-3-15
Didn’t I read recently that due to brexit the uk is going to become more standard weights and measures friendly? Lol
Random thought,
I think I want to be cremated with my implants,
Not just, not removed, but actively insist they are not removed
But fully sure why, but I think I’m amused by the concept of my ashes consisting of a smidgeon of tech

Chances are it will be refused. They won’t risk it damaging something what you could ask is that all implants are placed in your urn with your ashes.
