[what-even-is-thiss]

The rule for making an English compound word that you didn’t know that you know is that the first word describes the second word. The second word in the compound word is more important.

For example a bluebird is a bird that is blue. A birdblue would I suppose be a blue that is bird but it certainly doesn’t mean the same thing as bluebird whatever it is.

An airplane is a plane that is in the air. A planeair just isn’t anything. Maybe it would be the air inside of a plane.

Or perhaps it would be plane air with a space in it. Because we kind of just make compound words all the time like Germans do but sometimes we put a space in there. Where you put the space kind of doesn’t stop it from being a compound word.

So think to yourself. What would be the difference between a clockdog and a dogclock? Or, a clock dog and a dog clock. Very different things, right?

[what-even-is-thiss]

Not every language does this. This is a very Germanic language thing that English does.

Which is why if someone calls English a Romance language they’re talking out of their ass. A Romance language can’t invent a clockdog or a birdblue off the cuff. Absolute fakenewsinventor of them.

[what-even-is-thiss]

You probably invent compound words/phrases all the time if you speak English. Like the recent slang thing of calling yourself an enjoyer. A cat enjoyer. A pillow enjoyer. A Mario enjoyer.

It would kind of be the same thing if you took out the space. Marioenjoyer could absolutely be a word and almost every fluent or native English speaker in the world would immediately know what it meant even if they’d never heard it before.

another good compound is henway. a wayhen is nothing, but everyone recognizes a henway

[mad228228]
