Someone break this word down for me and explain why it's so long 😡
Hilfe leistungs lösch gruppen fahrzeug(technically i’d need to add capitalization and dashes when separating into full nouns)
help giving exterminating groups’ ~~vehicle~~ drive thing (as others in this thread have noted)
The aid-providing fire-fighting vehicle of the fire department
It transports firefighters, ladders, tools, hoses
Not gonna lie, it’s a bit over the top.
Feuerwehrfahrzeug(fire dept’s truck) would’ve sufficed IMO. Nobody not working as a firefighter (and arguably not even all of those who do) knows let alone uses that long-form word."Feuerwehrfahrzeug" is still too many letters 😮💨
