How do you translate stance to other languages?

[baute]

Cohones.

El caballo

[P78]

postura?

[baute]

Doesn't exist? Then make one up, seems like you'll be explaining what stance is no matter what word you use anyway.

I'm sure you guys have a political stance on drugs though. Stance in english isn't there for low and wide cars

understand, you are right , but if you tell someone in your friends group, "stanced car". they understand it correctly ...
but if we tell someone "un coche con postura" they will say: you are gay right? ... XD

Hahah word

[P78]

not that good in spanish

but postura (attitude, stance, position) sounds rather ok imo

crazy stance = postura loca?
lol

[baute]

not so good.. "postura loca" sounds like a kamasutra posture

[P78]

i don't c the problem

[baadrin]

[baute]

I was trying to explain it in French and I just said "I like cars that are close to the ground."

[exexpat]

aufgemotzt?

getunt? (means "tuned" - but many tuned cars in Germany are stanced by default - unless they do American or JDM theme)

tiefergelegt, breite Felgen, dicke Schlappen?

Those both just mean modified, so not exactly fitting.

tiefergelegt, breite Felgen, dicke Schlappen?

A combination like this works best, for example "Tief & Breit". Means "Low & wide".

Apart from that, stance would be translated with the words Stellung (which is most often used in sexual context, i.e. sexual positions ) or Haltung (i.e. how you hold your body or your point of view on some matter or another). If one were to use one of the both for cars, you'd rather choose Haltung, but it's just weird in German to say "Mein Auto hat eine geile Haltung." ("My car's got an awesome stance.")...

So, basically, whenever I talk about stanced cars, I just sum them up as "Tief & Breit".

I know I suck at German, but "Haltung" reminds me of what my non-car-enthusiast friends would have said in Germany:

"Das Auto ist definitiv zuhaeltermaessig."

That is how they would describe my Jag now.

Same here in the Netherlands... There isn't a typical dutch word for it..

And even "stance" they don't understand...

"Tief und breit" is only known in the german car scène here...

[baute]

I think the word stance at all europe is unknow,
could include in "euro scene".?
