the reason why German words are sometimes very long is just that you can combine words to form a new one. Doppelkupplungsgetriebe isn't that much longer than doubleclutchgearbox would be...
@TheSirPrise Since it is a functional unit, it makes sense to combine the words. There are a lot of English words that use the same logic like, bedroom, toothpaset, haircut, fireplace, everyday, commonsense and so forth but on other occasions the words are separate. In this respect the English language seems very inconsistent to me...
@RISCy27 not only that but morphologically double clutch gear box is one word just like Doppelkupplungsgetriebe. The clue for that is in emphasis and what it means. I.e.: a district manager is not a district, it's a manager, but a particular type of manager, so "district manager" is a new word just like "Bezirksvorstehender" is. Writing tends to be misleading sometimes, but if you talk to a kid, it will recognize compound words as having a non-derived meaning without knowing how to spell it.
lol James!! fuck he is funny. Anyway, that car was meant to be light so , sometimes jeremy can say stupid things, the FXX doesn't have a stereo either, and that's for the sake of lightweightnes.
@TheProgGuy He says "Aber ja, natürlich Hans ist nass, er steht unter dem Wasserfall", but it's correct like this "Aber ja, natürlich ist Hans nass, er steht..."
@The666thBowelOfHell "15" though. Nice of ya to sell yourself short. Realize you're living in an age where living in Scotland isnt an excuse to be stupid, or to self depreciate in the lulz.
@The666thBowelOfHell To be fair, it's easier to remember languages when you use them regularly or have just learnt them in school. It's been several decades since that happened for them.
Even with D335Media's comment I can't figure out the german part of what James is saying. It's like "ewtrwtwhdcfhsfHans ist nass, er steht unter dem Wasserfall", and that's from a native speaker...
James obviously used the same German text book at school that we did. Think it was called "Sprich Mal Deutsch". Hearing him say that took me way back to Mr Davidson's German class in the 70s!!
@124simran & @Theninja347 I know that, but I only said that's the longest word coming in my mind. But also Doppelkupplungsgetriebe isn't so difficult.
@124simran I wanted to prove that it wasn't a difficult word, since all the words were international, i.e. that they are pretty much the same in all languages. Don't think I spelt it wrong, unless you regard not having a space, a spelling error.
The word "double clutch gearbox" is just 4 letters shorter, if you count that spaces, it´s just 1! plus, brits: please try to say the word and you´ll see, it´s not hard at all! the "ie" in "Getriebe" is pronounced as if it was spelled "ee", the "e" at the end sounds like the end of "easier" and everythings fine...
I'M German and can't understand a word of the "german" sentence :D steht unter dem Wasserfall (stands under the Waterfall) is the only thing I can understand :D
@SaschaBMG09 "Aber ja natürlich, Hans ist nass! Er steht unter dem Wasserfall!" Habs auch erst verstanden, als mein britischer Schwiegervater es auch gesagt hat!
@MrsGingerLady Telecommunicationsinfrastructure. I'm sure you could add a space in there if you want. One word made up by just international words isn't too difficult.
i'm german, but except the word "wasserfall" i didn't understand a single word from James May's "German" xD i don't want to say that german is a easy language, but "dubble-clutch-gearbox" or "doppel-kupplungs-getriebe" there isn't that much difference..
