  1. If I try to speak German neatly with the littlest accent I can do as a Dutchman, it gets physically uncomfortable after a while, I get fatigue in different parts of the mouth and throat. When I switch to a heavy Dutch accent that discomfort is over. Dutch has more guttorals but and might actually be harsher, but we are not famous for shouting orders. Maybe if you get cursed at for walking in the bicycle lane people experience Dutch as harsh. Compound words are easy if you recognize the seperate words, and they are very useful. With every word added to the compound the meaing becomes more defined, narrowed down in meaning more precisely. If you can't put that precision in one word, for example in a legal profession, describing exactly what you mean precisely gets in the way of structuring the sentence, with compound words it doesn't so can have complex and precise definitions in complex sentences which can be very useful. In English you just can't do that and that limits expression. Compound words are therefore famous from the civil servants language.
