In Spanish AND in German, there is an infinitive for "to breakfast." In Spanish, that word is "desayunarse," and in German, that word is "frühstücken." In English, we only have the infinitive "to eat." Therefore, we have to use way too many words to explain what we mean (note: this happens often in English).
Example:
German:
Heute Morgen ich gehe frühstücken.
Total Words Used: 5
Spanish:
Esta mañana voy a desayunarme.
Total Words Used: 5
English:
This morning I am going to eat breakfast.
Total Words Used: 7
When translated, THESE ALL MEAN THE SAME THING.
Lesson to be learned: everyone should just speak Spanish and German. ;)
