I am from Germany.
If you don’t know a word in German, just combine as many words you like and do know into one until it describes what you mean. There may or may not be a shorter, easier term for it, but even Germans do it all the time. Donaudampfschifffahrkarte is probably the most (in?)famous example.
i 100% believe you because i've low key noticed this when picking up German words here and there over the years. Like "sick" in German is "krank" and "house" is "haus" so of course the translation for "hospital" is "krankenhaus" , and the word for "ambulance" is "krankenwagen". German has set the bar for being straight to the point and efficient 👏 (and so far I've yet to be proven wrong on the saying, "There's a German word for everything" LMAO)
Thank you for sharing!!! <3
