*opens a german dictionary* *it says „Meter“* *shrugs*
Now that you have it open, could you find a funny compound noun or two? I love those!
I'm German, I don't need a dictionary for that. We make them up on the fly. For example, Autowaschanlagenführer or Türöffnungsmechanismuswartung
I remember a little German from it being mandatory in school here in Denmark where we also like compound nouns so imma give it a shot:
"Car wash hose boss" and "door opening mechanism maintenance"?
"door opening mechanism maintenance"
Yes
"Car wash hose boss"
Almost. „Car wash operator“ it is.
If I worked in a car wash I would demand to be called a hose boss
How about Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung? That's my personal favorite, though it lacks umlauts.
