are you implying that it's not a book of words, or?
It's wordbook here too. Quite a good name for a book on words 2bh
It really is a book of words.
>>59137563
Allow me to put it in terms you might understand
a dictionary is a "words book" the same way a tree of bananas is a "banana tree"
>>59137735
It's refined. Nobody would want to call a car a "getinsideandmovefast"
>>59137710
>The hue monkey does not understand the roots of its own language
(It's Latin)
We say the same, only the word used for 'word' is antiquated and has lost its meaning in our language (slovo - the root of the word Slav -> slovar).

>>59137803

Nothing wrong with this. Just learn your Latin, many words in English are made up like this, but their roots require a bit more education to notice than the German ones

>Nobody would want to call a car a "getinsideandmovefast"
Speak for yourself Pleb.

You can say 汽車 too
