To be fair, that's more than two words

Warum ist das Fugen-S in Klammern? Es ist in diesem Fall nicht optional, da das vorausgehende Wort auf -ung endet.

Anlage also means attachement i.e. a file attached to an E-Mail

Not anymore ongoing :/

I would argue since that is a compound word it is actually much easier to read since you know how the parts are supposed to be spoken. If that makes sense 😅

Got another one for you: Mehrlagensichtfensterklotzbodenbeutel The bag some cookies come in.

I don't have an official diagnosis...just tendencies and I'm and english native speaker, but I didn't have any problems with german monster words when i was learning german because they don't really look similar enough plus when you're reading you just kind of slow down on the big words you don't know and figure them out or look them up. I found the german convention of capitalizing of all nouns really helpful too for reading. Yes, i realize i didn't even capitalize everything i was supposed to in english 😁

There are no people with dyslexia in Germany. The Kaiser implemented these super long words as a eugenics project to eliminate them. It is a very dark part of our history only few people know about 😔

I literally can't see the word it's just a jumble of letters

I had dyslexia as a kid and long words freaked me out especially. I never realized that this isn't a thing for kids in other languages. But honestly: while they have a shock value, they aren't that common really

You'll get used to it.

The really long ones are a pain to say to as well. You're kind of Strangling your self trying not too paus in the middle of a word. Only a problem for the awfuly ridiculous ones thought.

Hmmm... I wonder what the elevatorpitch for a Högspänningslikströmsöverföringsanläggningservicelektriker is?

Hochspannungsgleichstromübertragungsanlage. But I have to admit defeat here, Hochspannungsgleichstromübertragung does get abbreviated as HGÜ, so almost nobody would write Hochspannungsgleichstromübertragungsanlage but rather HGÜ-Anlage, even if Hochspannungsgleichstromübertragungsanlage is a perfectly cromulent word.

High Voltage DC transmission system. So, not overly sinister, and probably needed.

Never thought about how many ways you can translate Anlage.

You missed the gleich.

High voltage direct current "transfer" device.

Or simply a transformer.

This?

Turtle = shield toad!

Gloves = hand shoes!

Raccoon = wash bear!

This is also largely responsible for why more English words have a Romance root than a Germanic one. English's Germanic words tend to be counted as their base and get combined as phrases, while its Romance words are more likely to get double counted in compound words or variants of different forms being counted as separate words.

If you compare german non-compund words with their english translation the german words tend to do be a bit longer on average. I think the same also goes for the word-count in german sentences

It's called lyrical art and I think it's beautiful.

It works best with nouns, we even use suffixes like -ung and -heit to turn other words into nouns first.

The one I learned was Hottentottenpotentatentantenattentat - the assassination of the Hottentot head of state's aunt

Sterf haha

Schifffahrt is spelled with triple-f since 1996.

To be fair, Finns suck with yhdys sana's

Finnish sounds cute.

a hog who's a hedge fund manager

I love how that's an example of an English word that shoves two existing words together while German uncharacteristically has its own word for it: Igel.

I know at least one; window. You took that from the Swedish word vindöga, wind eye, that means the same thing as window. But it's no longer used in Swedish as it doesn't really make sense since we have windows made of glass now and not just holes in the wall
