Same in Hungarian, they are usually written as a single word if the components together create a specific meaning or form a distinct conceptual unit, which is distinct from the individual meanings of the words.
For instance, "autógyár" (car factory) is a compound word made up of "autó" (car) and "gyár" (factory).
I suspect the reasoning is the same for Dutch.
- lucb1e 2y agoDo you also have funny misplaced spaces? Example in Dutch: you can say "losgeld" (literally: loosemoney, money that loosens/releases something; specifically: ransom) but you can also say "los geld" (loose money) which is like spare coins you have in your pocket or so. In 2020, a supermarket requested that people don't pay with losgeld but by card instead, so they meant to say "please don't pay with cash" but they said "please don't pay with ransom"
