Hello everyone,
I searched for this thread, but I think that I'm proposing something new. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.
About compound names, I'd like to know three things:
1. When does a compound name appear in a (good) dictionary? I can't find in the dictionaries (published by the Akadémiai Kiadó) words like csokiszolárium (a solarium in Érd that offers chocolate treatment for the skin!), autóbontó, autókölcsö, faelgázosító, szônyegház (a carpet shop in Budaörs), vésznyitó (in any Volán busz), kidobnivaló and many more. But I find these words written in the streets and in the net.
2. If there is a kind of "liberty" to create these words, how can we say that a text is written correctly? (the proper question is "how can a teacher correct these words!"). We all have eaten franciasalátát and have used a franciakulcs, but can we write franciapezsgô or franciatájföldrajz?
3. Length. I've been told about 21 letters as a maximum length, and the example was the OTP (orzagos takarékpénztar, 21 letters -> 2 words) while belügyminisztérium (18 letters) is just one word. Therefore, is this rule correct?
These were my doubts. Thanks for your help.
