boy marx wasn't lying, the wealth of societies where the capitalist mode of production prevails sure does present itself as an immense accumulation of commodities
What about girl Marx
Honestly, as a German I can not quite understand the obsession of the English speaking world with the question whether a word exists or not. If you have to express something for which there is no word, you have to make a new one, preferably by combining well-known words, and in the very same moment it starts to exist. Agree?
Deutsche Freunde, could you please create for me a word for the extreme depression I feel when I bend down to pick up a piece of litter and discover two more pieces of litter?

This is a german compound on the spot master class and I am LIVING
#my german is still too basic for this but I desperately want a compound word for how much these compound words piss me off

Monsterwortbildungsunfähigkeitsangstverzweiflungsrückzugsecke
Monster=monster // wort=word // bildung(s)=formation
unfähigkeit (s)=incabability // angst=anxiety
verzweiflung(s)=desperation // rückzug(s)=retreat // ecke=corner
=the corner in which you retreat when you´re desperate because of your fear when being unable to form monster words
*eye twitch*
But what I want to see now is two germans arguing over the construction of one of these monster words.
@shiplocks-of-love I don’t think that will happen. The words make perfect sense. I think if German is your mother tongue you get a feeling for combining words, like a
Monsterwortbildungsgespür
Monster = monster
Wort = word
Bildung(s) = formation
Gespür = intuition

Bloody love this language <3<3<3
The thing is, since in German you have to decline/conjugate many words in relation to the noun they are refering to those monster words actually serve a purpose of making the language simpler. A common example is a (as in any) red wine (ein roter Wein) as compaired to the compound a red wine (ein Rotwein). If rot is an adjective it has to be conjugated: der rote Wein - des roten Weins - die roten Weine - and many more. But it if rot is part of the noun you only have to decline Wein: der Rotwein - des Rotweins - die Rotweine. So, die Verzweiflung über die Vermüllung der Umwelt is way longer than Umweltvermüllungsverzweiflung and you would have to know three grammatical genders and the words’ respective declinations. Whereas for Umweltvermüllungsverzweiflung you only need to know that Verzweiflung is grammatically feminine (die) and its deklinations.
Ok, now I want to see Germans playing Scrabble

You‘re Welcome!
i love this, but this isn’t the german i am exposed to in day to day life, as a filthy berlin Ausländer.
When i try to make words, most germans look at me confused, as if i have committed some transgression.
Tell me, am i doing it wrong?
I came up with the humble word: “Spaßgier / spaßgierig” to describe the intense, good but also clearly bsd for you condition of being torn apart by too many fun things to do. A common berlin problem.
Example: “Heute gibt’s zu viele coole Events - aber ich will sie alle genießen!!! Es wird stressig aber ich bin zu spaßgierig!”
Did i do it wrong? Is it just not complex and long and overthetop enough for the german mind to appreciate?
@thehappysatan
Oh, Spaßgier (fun greed) is an excellent word! This becomes an instant part of my vocabulary.
Perhaps people look confused because they are not expecting this from a non-native speaker.
guys why is it lowkey thursday today 😭😅
they call me the endurer the way i endure and endure and endure and endure and well u get it
“Can I be mean for a second” I would not care if you killed the bitch in front of me. Now what’s bothering you queen
just spotted the actor for Sam Austen in LOST in s1ep24 of the x files. and then it took me forever to confirm it because it was really ahrd to find the guy's imdb page but damn am i proud. I recognized a man who was in 2 episodes of LOST immediately from one scene from a show filmed 10 years prior. they call me THE Lostie
Walking into my 9 hour shift and hearing "2 people quit yesterday"
Unfortunately Kate Austen was doomed by the narrative (written as straight despite being the gayest bitch on that fuckin island)
idk if i can ever top this piece tbh. i need this on a tshirt.
they should make a sleep that feels like you’ve slept
I did not ask for the life that I was given,
but it was given nonetheless.
i’m in a good place (my room) but i’m also not in a good place (deep physical and psychological suffering)
Sick af really
They’re disgusting
For the record, I also found it weird when my ex step father showered with me (I was 6). It felt wrong on so many levels. I was told it just feels wrong because I am not used to growing up with a father. But you know what? No. It was weird. I was right but was convinced I was the weird one.
I guess the point of this story: sometimes children know it's wrong but they are manipulated. Trust them.
