Slovak term or phrase: stavebný merník
Prosím vás, co znamená v češtině nebo angličtině "mernik"? Má to být inženýr, povolání... něco jako měřič? Nemám tady slovenský slovník...
Moc děkuju.

Explanation:
A land surveyor generally works on roads and on 'land' (determining the elevation of roads and mountain passes, laying out international borders through swamps and muskeg etc.). A legal surveyor works more in an urban environment determining exact boundaries between properties (property lines) and the position of constructions (houses, offices) on those properties.

Explanation:
Ak je to rodny list z roku 1929 tak je to dnes zememerac. Slovo "mernik" som nasla v S/A slovniku z roku 1930, dnes sa ovsem nepouziva. Pripadne geodet.

Explanation:
Because of the word "mernik", I don't think "stavebny mernik" is quite the same as a surveyor.
