minus-squareFumpyAer [any, comrade/them]hexbear21·7 months agoOkay I know this is a Serious Post and very distressing. But is the German word for famine really "Hungersnot?" link
minus-squareCigarette_comedian [he/him]hexbear30·7 months agoI'm Norwegian, but 50% of our vocabulary is derived from German, and our word for famine is "Hungersnød". So yes, famine is indeed "Hungersnot" in German. A rough translation of the composite word here would be Hunger(Hungers) and Need(nød/not) link
