Stands, stadium-like raised rows of benches, κερκίδες.

My flatmate couldn't believe I never heard of this word until now but I wasn't raised on Disney Channel, unlike her :lol:

(de) Personenbahnhof (Pbf) - the passenger section of a railway station or a railway station serving only passenger traffic.

Transport company jargon, it seems, usually those are called just Bahnhof.

I remember seeing "Güterbahnhof" a lot, but you're right that the passenger section was usually just "Bahnhof".

(de) kreieren: fancy French term for "to create"

The syllable boundaries were unclear for me, it's kre‧ie‧ren.

(de) der kleinster gemeinsamer Nenner
lowest common denominator (also metaphorically)

Nenner was surprising at first, but of course it makes perfect sense.

(fr) unijambiste nm/nf - one-legged person

The headline I found the word in is challenging to translate fluidly, both grammatically and stylistically.
