2 favorite words in german:

hand = hand schuh = shoe handschuh = glove

schlaft = sleep anzug = suit schlaftanzug = pajamas

Don’t forget:

Zahn = tooth, Arzt = doctor, Zahnarzt = dentist.

Well "dentist" is just a fancier way of saying "toothist" so "tooth doctor" doesn't sound too bad.

I think the best thing about compound words is that you can name things you don't know the actual name for.
