Can you tell me what this word means: Reinigungaktionskollektenkasse.
I can tell that it vaguely has to do with some kind of money collection from cleaning.

Well, cleaning action collection. Sort of.

Ok, how about a (ongoing) collection of money for a specific cleaning project?

Let's say that we collected money in order to let Schumacher clean Button's face with champagne. :wink:

Cleaningactioncollectionbank. Not a real German word if you put the four words behind eachother.

Es ist nicht ein Wort

Es ist nicht ein WortTranslation: It is not a word.

sweet be-jebus i didn't know words came THAT long :shock:

Come on people. You should know that the Germans love coming up with compound words. Last week, the German teacher gave us a word that meant a pre-sale ticket agency for the ball of Danube steamboat captain widows.

w00t? We did your homework for you? :lol:

Essen mien Scheiße!

Essen mien Scheiße!

Using imperative third person plural (formal and polite) requires a 'Sie' or else it kind of loses it's meaning totally methinks. Scheiße is feminin [die Scheiße] which makes your wrongly typed 'mein' also wrong on the acount of genus.

The correct sentence should be Essen Sie meine Scheiße! I think. I'm not a German teacher, but I would probably give you a D- after what I know. Now, would you like to explain why we should (politely asked or not) eat your shit?

d.p.

w00t? We did your homework for you? :lol:

Nope...she just likes to give out really long words.

You should eat that which you have so kindly thrown at me after that mouth full.

I rather like the concept of respectfully asking someone to eat some crap... if you're looking for informal, that would be "Iss meine Scheisse!"

Ich mag Deutsch. Ich habe das SAT2 gemacht und sehr schlect getan (in percentile, anyway). Ich denke, dass die echten deutschen Leute haben es auch gemacht.

Vas es "schlect", Bitte?
Me viess nicht?

Was that right?

Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgaben.

This is the longest German word I know. Good luck to all German Scrabblers. :wink:

Update: A longer one is

"DONAUDAMPFSCHIFFAHRTSELEKTRIZITAETENHAUPTBETRIEBSWERKBAUUNTERBEAMTENGESELLSCHAFT"

Vas es "schlect", Bitte?
Me viess nicht?

Was that right?

Was ist "schlecht", bitte? or better (if you want to know what the word means rather than starting a philosophical discussion): Was bedeutet "schlecht"?
(What is "bad"?) (What does "bad" mean?)

Ich weiß nicht. (I don't know.)

If you have questions about German I recommend this thread:

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=80834&highlight=

It's a thread where bona fide native speaking germans visit. There is also a region for those who wants to practise their German. Read all about it in the thread given above! :wink:

Sigh...as much as I hate to tear everyone away from their discussion, my German teacher defined

Reinigungaktionskollektenkasse

as: An action group that goes around cleaning things, possibly laundry, probably for money. Perhaps. :?

Hmm, I'm not sure your teacher are 100% on that one. Let me see if I can get some experts on this case... :wink:

The word stands for the process of collecting money for a cleaning operation. (I am german and had to think a moment about it, it is diificult for a foreigner)

Aber es ist kein echtes wort. Ich habs wenigstens bis heute noch nie gehoert.

Well, you aren't even wrong, the problem is the german habit to connect words. You can connect words to one long word which has a meaning and which any german-speaker would understand, but which is in no dictionary.

Simultaneously the coolest and most annoying language tool ever, that. :)

Etwas auf Deutsch. Ich habe keine Idee, wie, was ich auf Englisch gesagt habe, auf Deutsch zu sagen.

I'll just hope that was moderately OK.

Das ist gleichzeitig das coolste (yes, english everywhere, you could also say something like: das amüsanteste; das interessanteste) und das nervigste Sprachwerkzeug (and another connection of words, we really love this), das es gibt.

That was nearly perfect, only a bit too much of word by word translation.

In fact one could go so far to say: "Friss meine Scheiße!"
'Essen' (--> 'iss') is something we like and need to do. 'Fressen' (-->'friss') is something animals do (or even humans when the way they do it is ugly enough). And what could be more ugly than eating that stuff? (no answers please, this was a rethorical question lol)

PS: gonna kill this Forum grrr

I took three years of German, and my best guess, comparing notes with the others, is that the word has something to do with money laundering. If you showed us the context of how it was used in a paragraph, then it would be easier to find out what it means. ~ Michael.

I need to clarify: Money laundering is the process by which "dirty" money, or money one gains through unlawful practices, such as selling drugs, is "laundered" or made "clean" money. For example, in a movie I saw recently, a criminal was paid back money he was owed when the borrower bought a piece of the criminal's worthless artwork for several thousand dollars. That is a classic example of money laundering. ~ Michael.

Ich bin ein sheiss kopf.

wursti shcwein

etc etc.... :D

In Germany, money gets "washed", not laundered. So it can't be about money. Probably the sentence "In Liechtenstein money gets 'washed', not laundered" is much more accurate though! :lol:

By the way, shouldn't the name of this thread be "For those 'who' speak german"? I don't feel like a 'that', not even as a country.

If you guys are going to argue about the correct way to say "eat my shit" in German, then actually have some validity to your arguments, both of you are WRONG in that it is spelled "Essen Sie meine Scheße" and if you want to go further, substitute "Fressen" for "Essen" which is the common, unpolite way to say eat. So if you guys are going to argue, DO IT RIGHT :!:

By the way, "nervig" is the false word, but television uses it also incorrectly. "nervig" means "strong" in the meaning of strong nerves. The correct word must be "nervend".

Da muss erst jemand kommen und mir das auf die Nase drücken. ARGHHHH!!!
Recht hast du. :oops: Da sieht man mal wieder, wie sehr das Fehrnsehen einen verdirbt. Eine Schande ist das...nenene...
