pole
Ein langes, dünnes und meist festes Objekt, das oft gerade ist und zum Halten, Stützen oder Verbinden genutzt wird.
The German word "Stange" is a noun that typically means "bar," "rod," or "pole". It can refer to a straight, cylindrical piece of material, like a metal bar or a long stick. "Stange" is often used in various contexts, such as in sports (e.g., "Turnstange" for a gymnastic bar) or measuring tools.
Similar words in German include "Stab" (which also means "stick" or "staff") and "Röhre" (which means "tube" or "pipe").
The difference between "Stange" and these similar words is that "Stange" generally implies a straight and rigid structure, while "Stab" can suggest something longer and used for support or balance. "Röhre" indicates a hollow cylindrical form, differing in structure from a solid "Stange".
