agree  Cilian O'Tuama: that's the gist I reckon, maybe there's a better term though// Wonder how Cornelia proposes translating "-stück"
7 mins
  -> Pendant, inclined, slanting, tilted, leaning, graduated... // True. By the time Europe reawakens, we may find a mod has changed the source term.
agree  Teresa Reinhardt: "lot" for the US

  -> Thanks, T. Preferably not 'located in the shade' http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1974662
agree  Steffen Walter: Guess what? I did change the source term ;-)
11 hrs
  -> Cheers!
neutral  writeaway: in most property ads it would called a hillside property-especially if there is already a house on it/most/well-written/standard/conventional/routine/everyday (thereby more than justifying changing this to non-pro ;-) )/am there-are you?

agree  Cilian O'Tuama: don't wish to be awkward, but hillside or mountainside can just mean beside a h or m. , whereas "Hang" suggests it's actually on a slope. // OK, was mistaken, now more inclined to agree, har har.
3 mins
  -> Hey there, Cillian. Hillside means the side or slope of a hill (Webster's). A hillside property IS actually on a slope! // a slippery slope, eh? // Hang in there, Cillian. You can answer the Q in Spanish: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1993613
agree  Teresa Reinhardt
1 hr
  -> Ah, but is it north slope or south slope?

agree  writeaway: the stuck has been stuck on now. no more Grund for complaint
11 hrs
  -> It all hangs together somehow
agree  Steffen Walter: Just out of interest - why have you voted for this question to be downgraded to Non-PRO? Is "Hanggrundstück" really a term "any bilingual person would be able to translate without any dictionary"?/You might be right but I still think this is borderline...
11 hrs
  -> Well, "Grundstück" is property and "Hang" is slope or hillside... AND any bilingual person reading a property ad would know it.
neutral  Lancashireman: 'Grundstück' is the ‘plot of land’ (US, ‘lot’) upon which the 'property' is built, i.e. although the asker mentions 'house' in the question, 'Grundstück' in itself does not presuppose this. // Source term: ‘Grundstück’, not ‘Immobilie’.
11 hrs
  -> I beg to differ. A 'property' is a piece of land or real estate. It could be with or without a palace, mansion, house, barn, cottage, shack or hut. Property also avoids the US/UK-plot/lot conflict. // Why be more specific when a general word will do?
agree  Dubravka Hrastovec
