      Woah, you’re not even joking. Please tell me they don’t have to say that 11-syllable word every time they mention the kitchen. Please tell me they have an abbreviated way to say it.

        That’s not a word that exists, just a compound noun. You can basically string nouns together to infinity.

        Which might make sense, but it becomes really weird quickly.

        For example:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinderkennzeichnungs-_und_Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz

          I put it together, I used it, it exists now. But you’re right, I just joined some nouns for fun :)

          So that’s why you guys ride your bikes so fast, you’re trying to escape compounding nouns

        Noone talks like that, “Ficken in der Küche” would be the right translation.

    For people who don’t know Dutch, the pronunciation is kind of like “noiken in de koiken”.

      More like “know ken in duh kow ken” (where “kow” is rhymes with “bow” that you shoot an arrow with).

      That’s a very rough approximation (more German than Dutch), but I wouldn’t be able to give a better one using just English spelling without additional hints. In IPA it’s øː (with some regional variation).

    I loved working for a big corporation abroad once, along with a very petty team of gossipy Dutch people. They always kept to themselves, making fun of everyone who wasn’t part of their crew.

    One day I just couldn’t tolerate their bullshit anymore, turned around in the lunch area of the office, and asked them in perfect Dutch:

    You are aware that I speak multiple languages, right?

    I have never seen ten people’s faces turn grey instantly before. :D

    Even funnier, they begged me for days to not report them to HR.
