Fatzke, Blitzkrieg, Hupverbot.
- eru 16y agoApart from Fatzke, you are cheating. And even in Fatzke, it's not in one syllable.
- ckuehne 16y agoOkay, compound nouns are probably not what you had in mind when you made your statement. But then again, your statement was pretty general. Regarding Fatzke: "zk" is not in one syllable either. At least not when I (or google) pronounce it. :)
- eru 16y ago> Regarding Fatzke: "zk" is not in one syllable either. Yes, that's what I was trying to say. But since it's not compound, it's not as bad. By the way, if you want a genuine example of strange sounds in German look at Herbst or Pfründe. Fun fact: If you can pronounce Streichholzschächtelchen, you automatically gain German citizenship.
- ramidarigaz 16y agoMy first long German word was Schwarzwälderkirschtorte. Nowhere near as difficult as yours.
- eru 16y agoThe standard example is supreme court vs Bundesverfassungsgericht. The chief difference is in spelling. I had a phase, where my German looked much more English---I put spaced inside compound words and did not capitalize all nouns. I should try capitalizing all Nouns in English one Day.
