What do you call those devices that you plug into your ear to talk on a cellphone hands-free?

hands-free speaking system? hands-free car kit?

That’s what my online dictionary said. It’s “Freisprechanlage” in my language. Why do you need 4 words when we use 1?

Yeah it’s called a Bluetooth :) Lol we do have one word for it like you guys, she just couldn’t remember what it was called ;)

German is a far more modular language than English. It seems like Germans are constantly making portmanteaux out of various words. One German word I’ve been seeing more lately is “schadenfreude” which I understand means “delight in the misfortune of others” (English speakers need 6 words for this one!). German also gives us “reinheitsgebot” for “beer purity law.” Thanks to Volkswagen commercials Americans also know “farfegnugen” for “driving pleasure.” One of the theories why Germany produces such wonderful engineers is because their highly modular language trains German brains to think modularity while the more imagery based Romance lanugages: French, Spanish, and Italian train brains to think artistically. The haphazard way English incorporates words and grammar from every other language may be why so many Americans have dyslexia and dysgraphia.
