What does "Kurlantz" mean? I'm not sure that's the way to spell it, but it's pronounced just like that.
Thank you! :)

no fucking idea :)
sorry
- rasko40
according to babelfish it means "Kurlantz" - thats in English.
hope that helps :)
- jox0
aw, cripes!
If it helps, it's got to do with warranty I think.
- rasko40
if its anything to do with warranty it probably means "you are not covered"
- jox0
ha, actually that's not far from the truth rasko.
I ordered this thing from Germany a few years back, and now it's broken - So I call them up thinking I would find shit out with the little German I know (yeah right), and I understood that it's not covered if it's over a year old (which it is, by a week), however I am entitled to "Kurlantz" if I bring it to them in person.
Now what the hell is that? It would make sense if it means "goodwill" - so is it?
- rasko40
maybe it means "good head"?
how can it be just a week over a year old if you bought it a 'few years back'
;P

i doubt it got something to do with a warrenty :)
a kur ... .... how to I explain this *lol*
it's when you go to some sort of hotel and make gymn. everyday....and eat healthy
it's for people who have some sort of health problem.

I think it's mean remedy, or repair.
- r_gaberz0
give me more details ... we can work this out :)
- jox0
ha guess the guy I spoke with had a speech impediment then, becuase I'm definitely not healthy.
Yeah, maybe you're right Mimio. Thanks, I'll look into it some more : /
Back to German class 101

I don't know what else there is to say really : / It sounded exactly like "Kurlantz", and instead of swallowing my pride I went on nodding like I understood what he said.
It sounds to me like it is some sort of discount thiingy if your stuff breaks down. Oh yeah, and it's a car part so maybe it's an auto term.

I think you mean Kulanz, which is goodwill or something I think
...
Kulanz die; ~: readiness or willingness to oblige; aus ~: out of good will
- jox0
Oooh that must be the one then!! YOU ROCK drzoom! I owe you one - seriously!
- drzoom0
no probs ... I'm glad I haven't lost all my German knowledge
- jox0
Yeah, you obviously paid more attention in German class than I did :)
- drzoom0
...no I didn't mean it that way ... I lived in germany for 19 years - and don't worry, don't think kulanz is a very commonly used word
- wendell0
yes drzoom you have it right-you can win ! hehe!
kulanz not kurlanz is like guarantee from your product as if you are not so-oo happy with it. i can not think it is a so well known word in use nit so-oo much around these days! so you are also right on that to. ;)
