I’m a quarter German on my dad’s side.
While I’ve had the chance to meet some relatives who still call the fatherland home, I certainly don’t speak the language.
However, German and English are pretty similar in some respects, and sometimes I can make out a word or two.
That being said, German is a hell of a language. Instead of inventing new terms for complex ideas, German words are often comprised of a pile of nouns smashed together to create a brand-new word that is hilariously, painfully literal.
If you’ve ever wanted to know what a “hand shoe” or a “stink animal” refers to, you’re in the right place.
