At this point, the German language is just messing with us [Updated]

(If you speak German, could you please provide a translation?)

Update: Rainer Brockerhoff to the rescue! He told me via Twitter that it translates as christmastreedecorationspecialtyshop.

  • Directly translated it means: Christmas tree decoration equipment speciality shop.
    So it should have everything that can go up on the tree ;)

  • It's Christmas Tree Ornaments Equipment Special Store - a ridiculous way (in English OR in Germany) to say: 'hey - we sell nice Christmas ornaments here'

  • Hey Joey,

    Rainer is right. Literally translated it even means christmastreedecorationequipmentspecialtyshop :D :D

    Weihnachtsbaum - Christmas tree
    Weihnachtsbaumschmuck - Christmas tree decoration
    Ausstattung - equipment
    s - a linking s (interfix)
    Spezialgeschaeft or Spezialgeschäft - specialty shop

    Greetings from good ol' Germany
    Patrick
