German rule
(lemmy.world)
Someone break this word down for me and explain why it's so long 😡
Someone break this word down for me
Hilfe leistungs lösch gruppen fahrzeug
(technically i’d need to add capitalization and dashes when separating into full nouns)
help giving exterminating groups’ ~~vehicle~~ drive thing (as others in this thread have noted)
Das Hilfeleistungslöschgruppenfahrzeug der Feuerwehr […]
The aid-providing fire-fighting vehicle of the fire department
Es transportiert Feuerwehrleute, Leitern, Werkzeuge, Schläu[che…]
It transports firefighters, ladders, tools, hoses
Not gonna lie, it’s a bit over the top. Feuerwehrfahrzeug (fire dept’s truck) would’ve sufficed IMO. Nobody not working as a firefighter (and arguably not even all of those who do) knows let alone uses that long-form word.
"Feuerwehrfahrzeug" is still too many letters 😮💨
