These words are funny because they are so long, but they are all quite logical.
Also, thanks for these new words! I have had eight years of German class when I was at school, but never had classes on car parts.
Haha 👍
How about “kurbelgehäuseentlüftung”
I´m offensive and I find this is german
Btw as little kid I always said ‘anhängerplumplum’. 😂
Hans, get ze klappscheinwerfer…
Lol
UP
I’m guessing the idea of German is yo see how many consonants can be placed adjacent to each other and still keep the word pronounceable
And now let’s have a little challenge. Here are some car-related words in Polish. Let’s see if you can translate all of them correctly:
I know
sprzęgło,-
zderzak,- bumper
kierownica,-
zawieszenie,-
skrzynia biegów,-
wycieraczki przedniej szyby,-
bagażnik,- trunk
silnik, - engine
deska rozdzielcza,
światła przeciwmgłowe, - fog lights
turbosprężarka,- Turbo
tablica rejestracyjna- Number plate
These sound very normal to me lol, but that might be because i speak german xD
car = Personenkraftwagen
they’re all just combinations of nouns and verbs, sonetimes like 4 words combined.
