Was diese Listen zusammenhält

Working life in German is written in a register that a course rarely reaches: the passive, the noun built from a verb, and the long compound that says in one word what English needs a clause for. That register is the point of these lists as much as the vocabulary is, which is why the example sentences here are longer than elsewhere on the site.
