minus-squarerob64@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 年前How about Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung? That’s my personal favorite, though it lacks umlauts.
minus-squareViking_Hippie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 年前I’m guessing that means speed limit? Nice 😂
minus-squarerob64@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 年前Okay I’m curious. With Danish being a Germanic language, how much are you benefiting from cognates and the like when making your guesses?
minus-squareViking_Hippie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 年前Some. Danish isn’t as closely related to German as it is to Norwegian or Swedish, but there are a lot of similarities such as similar words. Danmark is mostly an even weirder than Dutch combination of German and English 😁
minus-squarerob64@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 年前Weirder than Dutch? I do not believe this.
