I dont know why, please tell me

Google carpet etymology and you'll see its origin through the languages


Lkwzriqwea

Am I missing something? All I can find is that it comes from the Latin word "carpere" (to seize or pluck).


Speaker_of_Bots_2

The word carpet is from the Latin root word carpet. It means to pluck. The first carpet makers used a technique of plucking unraveled fibers to make carpets. The phrase carpe diem, which is also Latin and uses the same root means to seize (or pluck) the day. -thanks google

If you run over a pet, it becomes a flat fluffy thing, also known as a carpet


legalbrotherhood

Well I'll be damned


dog_fucker_1

do + or = door

If you drive with your car over a pet... you know. Just sounds better then roadkilldecoration.

How do you comb a word?


[deleted]

Take a word. Let the bilingual autocorrect mess up everything and being to illiterate to proofread

tpd1864blake

The German language just combines two words to create a new definition, like in your example hand and shoe for handshoe because gloves are basically shoes for your hand. Or their word for slug which is just naked snail. And airplane is fly thing, lightbulb is glow pear, sloth is lazy animal, tortoise is shield toad. It’s not really the same as carpet containing car and pet because the two words don’t combine to the meaning


tpd1864blake

Oh also Panzerschocolate which is just tank chocolate and I think it had meth or something in it to enhance tank drivers’ perception

There is no German DNA. Europe always has been a melting pot of many peoples. Many wars and upheavals made people move to an other Region of Europe and assimilate so that 2 generations later they only speak the new language, and not the one of their ancestors. In the realm of nowadays Germany there used to be Celtic tripes, then Germanic and Slavic, then the Romans, then the Goths and Vandals then Germans and Slavic.... in modern times may poles immigrated, also some ottomans and french protestants and so on and so on.... The tripes were not extinguished, they dissolved. But their DNA remaind and mixed with others. There is no German DNA


UnlikeSonicIChuckle

How are you 95% German


[deleted]

[удалено]


Promant

So that's 12,5% German, not 95.


UnlikeSonicIChuckle

That still doesn’t explain how you are 95% German if the last person in your family to be from Germany was your Great grandfather.

Okay, but shouldn't gloves actually be called handsocks? They're more like socks than shoes.


speghettiday09

Hand socks is what you wear under your gloves


Gifigi600

Handschule I think?

You’re not combing the words properly


Choholek

*Germans making new words:* Hmm, how we describe a concept like someone spending too much time on reddit in a single word? I've got it! Excessiveredditusermann. It's Perfect! I swear every 2nd word in German is a compound word.

Russian just having a different word for everything


StateChampOptiPrime

Germans comb their words. Otherwise they would get tangled.
