It's true. In English we string words together instead of putting them into one word, so there's not really much difference beyond the odd bit of morphology.

It's not even really morphology but orthography. Sure, German has some binding morphemes but the man difference is that English uses spaces

It does make a difference though. The long chains of words in English are kinda clumsy compared to the Swedish/German words. In practice this just leads to English using abbreviations more.

I dunno, a lot of these German words I see I’d abbreviate the hell outta if I knew how

All of the ones here are kinda extreme. Most words are alot shorter
