Long German word

[yakalskovich]

For woelfle and wiebke, who might be amused by such a thing.

This is a word I just actually used in an email:

Konkurrenzauswertungsobjekterfassungsbesonderheiten

I admit, it was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I used it in a useful context. I know, there are much longer ones, but do they actually get used?

German is great for long words! What does that one mean? Certain bits of it ring bells but GCSEs were sooo long ago...

He he. I'm amused ;)

Caleb is teaching himself German and lately I have been answering lots of strange questions. In fact I am now the German hotline. I will get a call at 11 p.m. saying "How do I say...?" or he'll call me and start reading something to me and then ask me to translate. It's a bit of a nightmare, since I don't always know the answer and I'm afraid he'll think I'm stupid, but hey, I'm out of practice!

What, you really used it? :-D
There's always Qualitätsmanagentberaterin, of which I have material proof, but otherwise, don't know. I think most of the long words can be found in law...
And I'm not thinking or ty<ping straight. Low bloodsugar.
