Can kuffert be suitcasem

[RyagonIV]

That's the usual translation for kuffert, but in the story this sentence is referencing, the kuffert is more of a trunk, a wooden chest.

I wouldn't trust a friend to sell me a flying trunk. They're much cheaper down the market.

I hate this unit. The vocabulary is totally useless. I will never go to Denmark and ask for a flying trunk. Can we get some practical lessons?
