So "affordablehousing" then? ๐Ÿ˜‚

We actually have a word for that: unauffindbar

[โ€“] kenbw2@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesn't that mean unfindable?

[โ€“] Konlanx@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You are right. It's a joke because there is absolutely no affordable housing to be found in Germany.

[โ€“] Louisoix@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seems like there's a word for everything in German!

[โ€“] Cliffjumper@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is. That word is "alles".

[โ€“] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

For a change the German word is shorter than the English one, and it's the English one that's smashing two existing words together.
