    Both of those languages LOVE to compound their nouns - smashing smaller words into massive ones. Like the simple “pasta + asciutta = pastasciutta = dried pasta” or not simple “Donau­dampfschifffahrts­gesellschafts­kapitän = Danube steamship transport company captain”. All languages do it, but these do it with gusto.
