    From what I have gathered. In German you can just make up words, it it makes sense everyone will just go along with it.

    There are a lot of words in English that could exist but if you made them someone would look at like you are stupid for thinking something that isn’t a word is a word. You can’t just make words.

      English does that all the time, breakfast is actually a very good example. Toothpaste. Hairstyle. Bedroom.
