How about Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung? That's my personal favorite, though it lacks umlauts.
I'm guessing that means speed limit? Nice ๐
Yes
Okay I'm curious. With Danish being a Germanic language, how much are you benefiting from cognates and the like when making your guesses?
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 ๐
Weirder than Dutch? I do not believe this.
I know it's a tall order but I'm pretty sure it's true. Danish is a really weird language ๐
