Like most <answer>German</answer>ic languages, Dutch forms noun compounds, where the first noun modifies the category given by the second (hondenhok = doghouse). Unlike English, where newer compounds or combinations of longer nouns are often written in open form with separating spaces, Dutch (like the other <answer>German</answer>ic languages) either uses the closed form without spaces (boomhuis = tree house) or inserts a hyphen (VVD-coryfee = outstanding member of the VVD, a political party). Like <answer>German</answer>, Dutch allows arbitrarily long compounds, but the longer they get, the less frequent they tend to be.
What language is like Dutch in allowing compounds to be any length?
German
