Hahaha, indeed, just like Hungarian, German has this thing called composite nouns. To be precise, even English has them (moonlight, notebook, greenhouse, etc.) but German and Hungarian can string them together ad infinitum, as long as it makes sense, whereas in English something like greenhousedoorhandle would seem like I just forgot to the spaces.

True 😂
And yes, in English it sounds as if the spaces are missing between the words.
And what about Spanish? Something like limpiaparabrisas? 😁 Or electroencefalografista? According to RAE it's the largest one in Spanish
Yes, limpiaparabrisas cracked me up too! It's certainly exceptional, as normally I would expect it to sound something like 'limpiador de las parabrisas' or even better 'limpiador del panel de vidrio para las brisas'. 😂
