<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 2670023, member: 39"]As for those verbs ... not really. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> We may well have a combination of a main verb and some auxiliary verb at the end of a subordinate clause. In the main clause the verb would be at a different position. What is kind of fun though - in German you can easily merge several nouns into one. In legalese and administrative lingo you may then come across monsters such as the famous <i>Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz</i> - an actual law (until mid-2013) in the state of Mecklenburg West Pomerania. That one became well known even beyond Germany because of its 63 characters. In everyday language we do use blanks and hyphens though. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
