[Greengoop]

I learnt it a few years ago from my interactive globe!

[Hunchman801]

Singapore?

(I would also have replied the previous two questions but the others were faster. )

Question 34: There are some countries/regions/bodies/terrains that basically mean the exact same thing twice. As an example: "Up up" or "Big big". From the top of my head I know 4 of these so I'll ask for 3. Please name them and explain what they mean.

I would’ve replied to that one but I didn’t want to win

I'm not sure I understand the question. Is it like the fact that Los Angeles means The Angels so their baseball team, the Los Angeles Angels mean the The Angels Angels?

Okay I will explain it by giving one of the answers away, there's not really another way to explain the question better I think. Lake Chad is actually a lake called Lake Lake, because Chad in their language simply means "lake".

This was pretty much the most difficult answer as well I think, the other answers I know are more well known.

I remember watching a Name Explain video about this, if only I could remember any of it

I promise they're not obscure locations haha

[Greengoop]

I know one of the Puerto places had this double name, but I might leave this point for someone else

[Rsandee]

Here's another one: Gobi desert means "desert desert".
Let's get this over with and next time don't participate this much if you don't want to take over the quiz por favor пожалуиста.

[Hunchman801]

I'm sure there's a bunch of obvious examples but none come to mind right now... after reading Greengoop's remark, I think the port of Porto might be a good candidate, but I'm not sure it's really called that.

Can I suggest to a moderator linking each season to its start point on the main post, like the TTQ does?

Hmmm that’s a very curious suggestion. Oh and speaking of TTQ, perhaps it would be a good idea to resume hosting there?

[Greengoop]

Yes, happily!

[Greengoop]

Island island?

[Hunchman801]

That's a map of Timor Leste. I suppose Timor also means "eastern"?

Timor-Leste literally means "east east". It was a lot of fun to be quiz master and I was hoping to end with a good final question, kind of sad I ended it on a low note there but I was impressed by how much everyone knew. Through google I had endless access of information on my side and every time I thought my previous question was maybe a tad too difficult, I followed it with an easier question that would be answered near instantly! I had a lot of fun with all of you.

[The Jonster]

Congratulations on your win Hunch!

Congrats on being a great host Rsandee, I think the questions were very interesting and the difficulty well balanced. When I did not know the answer, I learned a lot of cool stuff. This was a really great season!

I suppose it's going to be my turn now; of course, I'll happily take over as a host!
