Honestly, as a German I can not quite understand the obsession of the English speaking world with the question whether a word exists or not. If you have to express something for which there is no word, you have to make a new one, preferably by combining well-known words, and in the very same moment it starts to exist. Agree?
Deutsche Freunde, could you please create for me a word for the extreme depression I feel when I bend down to pick up a piece of litter and discover two more pieces of litter?
um = around
die Welt = world
die Umwelt = environment
ver = prefix to indicate something difficult or negative, a change that leads to deterioration or even destruction that is difficult to reverse or to undo, or a strong negative change of the mental state of a person
der MĂźll = garbage, trash, rubbish, litter
-ung = -ing
die VermĂźllung = littering
ver- = see before
zweifeln = to doubt
-ung = see before
die Verzweiflung = despair, exasperation, desperation
die UmweltvermĂźllungsverzweiflung = âŚ
This is a german compound on the spot master class and I am LIVING
#my german is still too basic for this but I desperately want a compound word for how much these compound words piss me off
das Monster = monster
das Wort = word
der Groll = grudge, anger, malice, rancor
der Monsterwortgroll = âŚ
Monsterwortbildungsimitationsunfähigkeitsverzweiflungsgroll
die Bildung = formation
die Imitation = imitation

die Unfähigkeit = inability
der Monsterwortbildungsimitationsunfähigkeitsverzweiflungsgroll = anger about the inability to imitate the formation of monster words
Linguistikfehdenhandschuhwurf

Monsterwortbildungsunfähigkeitsangstverzweiflungsrßckzugsecke
Monster=monster // wort=word // bildung(s)=formation
unfähigkeit (s)=incabability // angst=anxiety
verzweiflung(s)=desperation // rßckzug(s)=retreat // ecke=corner
=the corner in which you retreat when you´re desperate because of your fear when being unable to form monster words
*eye twitch*
But what I want to see now is two germans arguing over the construction of one of these monster words.
@shiplocks-of-love I donât think that will happen. The words make perfect sense. I think if German is your mother tongue you get a feeling for combining words, like aÂ
MonsterwortbildungsgespĂźr
Monster = monsterÂ
Wort = wordÂ
Bildung(s) = formation
GespĂźr = intuition

Sprachirrgartenbelustigungsbeitrag
die Sprache = language
⢠irren = to become lost (also: to err, to be mistaken; to wander, to stray)
⢠der Garten = garden
der Irrgarten = maze, knot garden
⢠be- = prefix with a variety of functions: šas part of a compound word, it denotes a processing or change of state; ²as part of a compound word, it denotes a touch; Âłas part of a compound word, it denotes a more intensive preoccupation with or thematization of something; â´it forms from a noun an adjective with a pseudo-participle form because the corresponding verb does not exist; âľas a prefix, it forms a transitive verb from a previously intransitive verb; âśas a prefix of a verb, it shifts the focus and thus changes the sentence structure
⢠lustig = funny
⢠-ung = suffix turning an adjective/adverb into a noun
die Belustigung = amusement, entertainment, merriment
der Beitrag = contribution, article in a newspaper or magazine, posting on social media, input to a discussion
Bloody love this language <3<3<3
The thing is, since in German you have to decline/conjugate many words in relation to the noun they are refering to those monster words actually serve a purpose of making the language simpler. A common example is a (as in any) red wine (ein roter Wein) as compaired to the compound a red wine (ein Rotwein). If rot is an adjective it has to be conjugated: der rote Wein - des roten Weins - die roten Weine - and many more. But it if rot is part of the noun you only have to decline Wein: der Rotwein - des Rotweins - die Rotweine. So, die Verzweiflung Ăźber die VermĂźllung der Umwelt is way longer than UmweltvermĂźllungsverzweiflung and you would have to know three grammatical genders and the wordsâ respective declinations. Whereas for UmweltvermĂźllungsverzweiflung you only need to know that Verzweiflung is grammatically feminine (die) and its deklinations.
Ok, now I want to see Germans playing Scrabble

Youâre Welcome!
The thing that I always want to point out to English speakers marvelling at German compounds is that we do this too! Itâs a thing that Germanic languages are especially prone to!
Itâs just conventional in English to keep writing spaces in between larger compounds, whereas in German itâs conventional to remove them. But they sound the same! Grammatically, theyâre identical!
You could call it theâŚ
English-German compound word space omission overadmiration fallacy
I love this about German - itâs how I passed my language test:
I got to pick a book to translate, and for some reason chose a book on steam trains. I found translating that kind of complex vocabulary so much simpler and more natural than trying to memorize a bunch of variations on word forms to fit other words and positions in sentences

Jon and Tommy Discuss Trump's "Predilection for Nipples"
Jon and Tommy discuss reporting from the New York Times duo of investigative reporters who discovered why the White House never made their searchable database of the Epstein Files available to the public. The top search result kept coming up with the disgusting assault of a young female victim who was sexually abused by President Amber Alert and nothing the programmers did was able to conceal this shocking crime. So they canceled the entire search feature in order to illegally protect the predator in chief!
This is just one example of the egregious lengths the GOP goes to on a daily basis to hide the myriad felonies perpetrated by Clementine Caligula. We must vote out every wretched Republican from the federal government all the way down to local city councils and school boards to have any chance of holding these fascist fucks accountable for their litany of abhorrent crimes.
