I would love to hear you talking about compound words, like in most Germanic languages. (I think all, except for English :D)<br><br>Example: In German you have wood (Holz) and it is really solid and hard (hart). The wood is shaped in the form of plates (Platten). But you also need to clean them sometimes with a special cleaner (Spezialreiniger). So you go to the according store (Geschäft), where you can just buy this cleaner and nothing else.<br><br>Where do you go to? To the:<br>Hartholzplattenspezialreingergeschäft<br>And trust me, everyone will undertsand what you are saying. ;),(reply>), Also dutch,(reply>), @Dirtyyy orthography, but also, in both German and English, the null preposition does A LOT of work,(reply>), That's mostly just quirky grammar,(reply>), Two I found and like (forgive spelling sorry) Khullshrank = Refridgerator = cool cabinet,  Hanshue = glove = hand shoe.,(reply>), I think they work well in German because they are in ordered in terms of relevence.<br><br> For example a Märchenbuchseite (Fairy tale book page) is still only a page.  <br>A Buchseitenmärchen (Book page fairy tale) rather sounds like a fairy tale that is short enough to fit on a single page of a book.<br><br>Another example:<br>A Gartenzaun (garden fence) is the fence of a garden. Whereas a Zaungarten (fence garden) would be a garden filled with <br>fences. <br><br>Using this rule you can string almost any number of nouns together and be understood easily.<br><br>I think that extents to english a bit as well:<br>A park bench is a bench,<br>A christmas gift is a gift,<br>and today is a day.
