What does this sign say?

[DerDuderich 149]

Good morning!

 

I've been wondering about this for quite some time now... there are signs like this all over Chernarus, I've seen them at at least a dozen different locations. Most of the time next to a street but without any landmark or location next to it. What does it say? What does it mean?

'Danger, Minefield'

"He, Basoph!"

Which is an old german dialect (modern german: "He, pass auf!") meaning:"Hey, watch out!" :)

 

And also...

It's Russian for "please wait here for sniper".

It says: no trespassing.

Aw, I solved it myself. :P

 

After picking similar looking letters from a russian alphabet chart ("НЗ ЗАГОРИЯ") and googling it  +" dayz" ich found this thread on reddit. 

 

Apparently it says "National Park Zagoria" ("Zagoria" being translatable as "Behind Mountain(s)").

 

So this signs seem to mark the border of a National Park. Kinda cool, i didn't know there was a National Park in chernarus. :P

I definitly see the similarity to "He pass uff" (Eher Berlinerisch though than Hochdeutsch^^) but where did you get the "He Basoph!" from? I don't speak russian but phonetically the second word should start with the same sound the first wold ended ("З") which is more a "z" sound according to a phonetic chart...?

I saw a similar sign at each of the four castles on the map that read something like "Historical [somethingorother]" when I used the Google Translate app on my tablet to take a picture of it. I assumed it was a historical landmark in that case, but it's got different wording on it than this sign does.

Meh. cs-pre1.6-leetspeak^^

Kein russisch...Nur Zeichen (schlecht^^ lesen und (noch schlechtere) Witze drüber machen^^)

Eine 3 ist ein E in der Wortmitte, aber am Anfang kann sie auch als "B" gelesen werden (dem der vertikale Strich fehlt)

 

Und ich bin Österreicher :P
