I'm more surprised they even have a word for it
>>59128539
german has a word for everything because they can just take a full multi paragraph description of something and remove the spaces
>>59128539
It is a common myth that the autobahn has no speed limit
>>59128508
Wouldn't the English version of these sentences more accurately be
"Limit of velocity"
?
??
???
>>59128837
You can say that in english if you want to, but it means the same thing as speed limit, and so we opt for the more efficient option.
Other languages do not have this capability.

> Other languages do not have this capability.
t. speaks only one language
In German you could also say Geschwindigkeitslimit or simply Tempolimit.
>>59128743
This desu
If you go faster than 130 km/h and are involved in some accident, you're in deep shit boyo
>>59128980
>In German you could also say Geschwindigkeitslimit
>>59128743
It doesn't tho
>>59129087
Not a general speed limit maybe
>>59128508
Tempolimit
>>59129126
tempo is an italian word
>>59129107
yeah, well all other countries have one.
>>59128508
I don't really get why those things are so populair, they're putting german in a bunch of latin langage, obviously it stand out.
>>59129154
Kindergarten is a german word
>>59129214
It gartens kinder

Except the speedometer in your car is not measuring velocity, dickhead
If you want to make it longer you could say höchstgeschwindigkeitsbegrenzung
That's like the recommended Speed limit
>>59129254
I reccomend that your mum sucks my dick ahah ;)
>>59129254
bls stob
>>59129234
....yes it is
Speedometer is measuring speed
Velocity is speed in a specific direction
>>59129254
No id doesn't mean "recommended", Begrenzung means clearly "limit".
>>59128743
There are speed limits in the following places:
- Accident hot spots
- Where there is a significant noise pollution for the people who live near the Autobahn and it can't be remedied through noise cancellation walls or something similar (This rule is only sometimes losely followed though)
- Where the surface of the Autobahn is damaged and could pose a danger to high speed
- Bridges where gusts of wind could push trucks into a different lane
So many parts are unrestricted, but there also plenty of restricted parts as well for the reasons listed above. Generally I do feel a lot safer going 230 on the Autobahn than driving at a much lower speed in a lot of other countries, because people here stick to the rules, drive right and don't just change lanes without looking or indicating.
>>59129314
A Speed "Limit" is more of a recommendation ;)
>>59129337
>le "i can drive speed because i am so cool" meme
>>59129313
So your speedometer is telling you which direction your are going?
>>59129254
no it doesnt. recommended speed limit would mean Richtgeschwindigkeit

beautiful hungarian language

are you stupid?
>>59129214
The problem with this exchange is you are operating under the lack of realization of what languages are allowed to do.
English is nothing but a simplistic grammatical structure who steals everyone elses words and uses them in horribly awkward ways requiring the heavy use of contextual understanding to decipher. Thats our thing.
Other languages are not allowed to steal words, only english. Other languages are not fast and loose.
So when english steals a word, it shows how flexible the language is. When someone else does, it just makes their language not based on word-stealing look pathetic.
So for example 'Geschwindigkeitslimit' is valid english. Tempo is not german.

Have you ever studied a language other than English. Most modern languages have hundreds if not thousands of loan words from English and the idea that we are based on "word stealing" is a misunderstanding of how language even works.
>>59129414
Yes I know that, speed and velocity are different things, so stop trying to sound smart by saying that we should call it a "velocity limit" rather than a speed limit
>>59129481
I didn't say that at all
