Aah how lovely! my favorite word now :)

Oh, this one is sweet!

Oh I verschlimmbessern a lot!

czechs have vulgar "dokurvit" which literaly "to f**k it up so bad you have to whore it out" which is the same, to make someing worse by trying to make it better.

Reminds me of: Betty bought some butter, but the butter was bitter, so Betty bought some better butter, to make the bitter butter better, but the bitter butter made the better butter bitter 😉

(Edit:was too eager to mention "bear's favour" but it had its own entry on the list, never mind! :D )

I have done this alot cool to know that there is a single word that means exactly that.

To be fair, the structure of German makes it child's play to create new vocabulary. It's a bit harder in English, as you can see from the translation.

Sometimes German words look like English sentences

Verbloesemen in Dutch

Describe yourself in one word :/

Ugh, my downfall for sure. I always think I can make something just a liiiiiitle bit better. And then I ruin the whole damn thing.

The government does a lot of this

My brother is a nutshell

Kinda like the GOP in the USA... "better" in their eyes actually means "to move backwards"

Guilty

Wow, our politicians should learn and never forget this!

Love this!

French equivalent: "Tête à claques".

"Cable Spaghetti"

I am not surprised only Finns have that word :)

If only all human would feel this! The world would probably be better!

In Dutch it's 'plaatsvervangende schaamte'. The same two words as in English: vicarious shame.

Well, if it doesn't work properly, I'm returning it.

The best kind of sunlight in my opinion :-)

ME

Or simply a very silly idea that may have sounded good at first.

”Björntjänst” is the swedish version

We ( Dutch) also use Flâner in almost precisely the same way. Flaneren. Typically one Flaneert when walking on a boulevard ( road alongside a beach) or so. It also has a bit to do with being seen by others. Like casually strolling alongside the beach taking in views / letting your mind wander wherever it wants/being seen by people at that beach or terraces, you stroll by...

Yeah we've nicked that one!

How about with yourself?

In Portuguese means dessert.

Google says it is Igbo, which is spoken in Southern Nigeria. It also specifies it is a "human language" which I guess is helpful?

English: to mac-guyver :)

Isnt this the same as nostalgia?

I like this. We become, at least partially, because of who our ancestors became. Without their environment, their skills, their culture, they wouldn't have been who they were, and neither would we be.

Really beautiful language indeed

As a dual French-English native, this one has been bugging me for nearly 50 years!

I love that.

Of all these words, This one was taught to us by Disc World.
