der gluhweinbecher means gluhwein mug

Posted by Chris on January 24, 2008

der gluhweinbecher means “gluhwein mug” in German.  gluhweinbecher

I have always enjoyed the multitude of instances in which the German language combines multiple words together to make up word that describes the object. You can see what I mean and learn more German words at the CAPL (Culturally Authentic Pictorial Lexicon) site.

CAPL is an interesting project to help people learn and translate German words using text and “culturally authentic license-free imagery.”  Here’s the page for wine.

Enjoy!
