If German was English
-
That would be: Sie dürfen nicht eins Feuerdings mit in
hineindas Flugdings hinein bringenThe hinein from 'into' is optional in German.
Better would be:You allowed no firegear with in the flightgear take.
-
Yeah, that may be a better translation

Thanks! My German isn't that good. I've been studying it for four years but sometimes it feels like we're getting nowhere.
-
Yes, that's true

I'm sure you can find a lot of parallels in Europe since English shares a lot with Germanic and Latin languages but what I mean is any language could easily have a single dedicated word for it and these would relatively sound funny.
for example you could imagine a language having "extinguisher" as a job title, which makes sense, but then you'd say "in English they call extinguishers 'people who fight fire' like they're fucking boxing isn't that funny"
but also I don't know maybe it's because I'm fascinated by language I don't actually think it's funny. I think sick people house makes a lot of sense. much more than hospital to be honest, which means guest house, which is more appropriate for a hotel, which shares etymology with hospital!

I guess you can but I am slavic so not really many paralels there. But yeah the german compound words make a lot of sense.

It is connected to moron. The Greek word moros means stupid, so a moron is someone or something stupid, and oxys means something like sharp or pointed. An oxymoron is thus a "pointed stupidity".
The word oxygen derives from the old, now falsified belief that it is a necessary element to create an acid. genes means creation, so it was thought to create sharp (acidic) stuff.

Thank you very much!
