How do you say pentagram in German?
Hi everyone,

I wonder how you say it in German. Is it Pentagramm (or Drudenstern or fünfeckiger Stern)?

It’s weird I have found none of these above three in the Langenscheidts Großwörterbuchß-Deutsch als Fremdsprache (Deutsch Chinesisch) but only Stern. I think the Chinese translation to the word Stern is slightly misleading, since I know the shape of a star (in geometry) not only refers to the five-point star.

What’s your opinion?

Thank you.

Hi Kimmy, in German we say "Pentagramm" as well. I copy you a link where you can check. By the way "dict.cc" is the best translation website German-English (and the other way round) I know!
