BWL Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 You can learn a lot about how a people perceive their language by knowing that they even have an "ugliest word of the year" ! I think that in German, due to the agglutinative nature of the nouns, you could end up with a limitless number of words and word combinations! It just seems to be what's the most fashionable or en vogue word at the moment that gets everyone's attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
