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

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

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

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.

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?

Yes, happily!

Island island?

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.

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!
