Ukrainian: цурупалки

[Marijka]

Чи хтось міг би мені допомогти перекласти таке речення:

Вони більше нагадують сушену шипшину, навіщось поначіплювану на руді цурупалки.

Особливо маю на увазі слово цурупалки. Що це таке?

Hi Marijka,
цурупалок = обрубок.
It's a stub or a twig, usually a short peice of wood left after chopping.

Your sentense means something like:
...they look more like dried berries (I don't know the English name for шипшина, it's the fruit of wild rose bush, шиповник in Russian) stuck, for some reason, to the reddish twigs...
