I assume this was generated from a dictionary, so I thought I'd comment on the German selection for enhanced clarity:<br />
;Feld<br />
:means "field" in German, i.e. it is a "box" in the sense of an "input box" (think <input type="text">)<br />
;Kasten<br />
:used as a common word for quadratic objects<br />
;Schachtel<br />
:usually smaller and lighter, the kind of box a singular, specific object is in - e.g. a present or a hat<br />
;Kiste<br />
:a crate<br />
;Dose<br />
:can mean "box" in the sense of a socket or an outlet<br />
;Packung<br />
:means "package" or "packing", so it's a "box" in the sense of "cereal box"<br />
;Zelle<br />
:equivalent to "cell"</div>213.23.230.154
