    But this makes the German language really creative. There is nothing wrong about inventing new notions by combining words.
  • It's a humorous comment on how German likes to string words together to make new ones. It's not /really/ German.
    It's funny to me, though.

    Max & Ben... this is a JOKE website... It's a JOKE... it's making a (silly) point about the fact that many German words are compound words. For example instead of "stroller" as we say in America the German word "kinderwagen" is of course a compound of "kinder" = Child and "wagen" = car/coach/carriage ... or Airplane is "flugzeug", literally a compound of "flug" = flight and "zeug" = stuff...

    it isnt dutch either. im german and while we might not be able to speak dutch we can still mostly understand it. that up there is just random words put together to make a word. like they took a german dictionary and first rolled dice for the page, then for the line, then for the word. then again until you have a bunch of words. those you put together and tada.

    This may be dutch, but it´s no German, that´s for sure.
