    wohnungseigentümergemeinschaften

    What a freight train of a word. Absolute unit.


    What that spell do?


    I guess Germans have massive lungs. Or strong tongues. 😏


    I’d mangle this word so badly it would be probably considered hate speech.

      It’s not a complicated word. The only thing is that German joins compound words, while English puts a space into it.

      If German would follow English rules, this would be a Wohnungs Eigentümer Gemeinschaft, which, translated to english would be a Flat Owner Association.

      Or if English followed German rules it would be a flatownerassociation. Would you have a lot of difficulty reading that?
