Honestly, as a German I can not quite understand the obsession of the English speaking world with the question whether a word exists or not. If you have to express something for which there is no word, you have to make a new one, preferably by combining well-known words, and in the very same moment it starts to exist. Agree?

Deutsche Freunde, could you please create for me a word for the extreme depression I feel when I bend down to pick up a piece of litter and discover two more pieces of litter?

• um = around
• die Welt = world
• die Umwelt = environment
  
• ver = prefix to indicate something difficult or negative, a change that leads to deterioration or even destruction that is difficult to reverse or to undo, or a strong negative change of the mental state of a person
  
• der Müll = garbage, trash, rubbish, litter
• -ung = -ing
• die Vermüllung = littering
• ver- = see before
• zweifeln = to doubt
• -ung = see before
• die Verzweiflung = despair, exasperation, desperation

die Umweltvermüllungsverzweiflung = …

This is a german compound on the spot master class and I am LIVING

German has a prefix for WHAT now??

ver-:

1. a prefix characterizing the word as negative or difficult
2. a prefix denoting a movement of the object
3. a prefix denoting that the object is provided with something
4. a prefix describing a (mostly negative) transition of the object into a state, which is indicated by the stem of the verb (up to its destruction)
5. a prefix describing misconduct or malfunction of the object
6. a prefix indicating a faulty action (best example: sich verlaufen = to get lost; derived from laufen = to walk, to run; sich = indication of a reflexive verb
7. a prefix that determines that a strong, hard-to-make change has a strong influence on the physical or mental state of someone or something (best example: sich verlieben = to fall in love; derived from lieben = to love)
8. a prefix having no special meaning in many verbs, equivalent to the English for- (e.g. forgive)
