Kind like that thing where ones native language doesnt have a specific pithy single word or phrasal expression to store its meaning

For extra fun (see my example in the replies) give

the fluent explanation

SPOILER (even if you dont have it, just leave it blank if you dont so people dont know whether there’s an answer beforehand

    I really like how far German takes the whole compound word thing. People act like it makes it harder to read but I feel like it really clicks for me personally and its fun to think about all the possible meanings of it even if you know the technically correct ones

      Depends. I like it, but it lures you into lazy naming of stuff, that being especially pronounced in state administration.
      And written form is hell to comprehend for dyslexics…

        I guess I just like how it implicitly causes you to think about the relationship and sum meaning, or that its like that idea generation thing where you randomly generate two words and try to come up with how they can be combined or interpreted

          Ah yes, sure, Begriffsassoziativitätskombinatorik.

          (Yes, I just made that word up. And also yes, it makes sense and might be the word describing what you were just thinking about.)
