German doesn't borrow words for new concepts.

 German doesn't borrow words for new concepts.

It builds from pieces it already has. Stacked together. Precise. Logical. 𝗞𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗮𝘂𝘀 𝘒𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘬 = sick. 𝘏𝘢𝘶𝘴 = house. 𝗦𝗶𝗰𝗸-𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲. Hospital. 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗵𝘂𝗵 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥 = hand. 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘩 = shoe. 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗲. Glove. 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗴𝘇𝗲𝘂𝗴 𝘍𝘭𝘶𝘨 = flight. 𝘡𝘦𝘶𝘨 = thing/tool. 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁-𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. Aeroplane. 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗮𝗳𝘇𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘭𝘢𝘧 = sleep. 𝘡𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳 = room. 𝗦𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽-𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺. Bedroom. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗱𝘁𝗯𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗸 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘥𝘵 = city. 𝘉𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘬 = library. 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆. Public library. The rule that makes every compound word readable: The 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 word carries the meaning. Everything before it describes it. 𝘒𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘴 is a house. A specific kind - for sick people. 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘩 is a shoe. A specific kind - for hands. Once you see this logic - German stops looking impossible and starts looking like a system. You can as well guess the meaning of a word, compound words through this system. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆
