I’m a native German speaker living in England and recently realised how silly our word for airplane is: Flugzeug - flight thing!

I like the German word for ovulation: Eisprung, which translates to "egg jump".

in mandarin, the word 买(mǎi) means to buy, 卖 (mài) means to sell. 买卖 (mǎi mài) means business.💕💕

We have the same grammatical feature in English too, but we leave in the spaces: railway station, for example. German simply takes out the spaces because nouns have genders and the article must agree with the main noun. ‘THE train ticket machine’ is ‘DER Fahrkatenautomat’. But ‘ich kaufe DIE Fahrkarte von DEM Automat‘.

The Nudel in Nudelholz is not actually about pasta though. „Nudeln“ is an oldfashioned word for rolling out dough.

German and English work exactly the same way with noun-noun compounds, it's just that they don't write the spaces in. "Ice cream truck driver" is a four-noun compound, easy

what do you mean you never use compound words in everyday German language? there are so many German compound words which are used daily

In German many this are regulated. Even the amount the tax advised may charge you. It's regulated in the "Steuerberatervergütungsverordnung" and yes that word is used in the domain.

Actually,the longest German word that is actually a word that is found in the dictionary is Unkameradschaftlichkeit. Which is quite long and potentially less hard to pronounce.🥰 (I hope)
