I think word count is not the best metric precisely because of what you mention. “Krankenversicherungskarte” is one word vs the three word “health insurance card”, but they convey the same information in roughly the same amount of characters.

Overall I don’t find German particularly verbose, only sometimes a small phrase is condensed into a single word.

IIRC the wikipedia for each language is pseudo independent. This feature will eventually make it to all, I hope.

I was confused by your wording, but I think you mean South of the USA rather than South America.

It may be a USA Brazilian thing, the diaspora is quite large.

It may be Mount Ararat

I don’t mean to derail the conversation, but it pains me to say that Europeans have been financing the ethnic cleansing of Artsakh by buying Azerbaijani oil with almost no repercussion.

North America was built by the train, it was later destroyed for the car.

I have a Kobo Libra 2, I quite enjoy it for borrowing books from the public library.

What if they have cameras at the stairs?
