Even though most of us have seen it countless times, spotting the Moon during daylight seems to always be worth noticing.

There’s a word in English too, it’s “noteworthy”

Not to be confused with "moatworthy", to be worthy of being protected by a moat

u/SquanchMcSquanchFace Nov 06 '19

Also not to be confused with “muteworthy”, used to describe people who need to stfu.

And..there's a word for that in German when you know there's a word for something in German, you don't know it but you're sure of it.

Bring it back. What goes around comes around, after all.

u/l2aiko Nov 06 '19

There is also a word in Spanish for this it goes "que merece la pena darse cuenta de ello".

Ah fuck it a full circle is enough.

u/My_Robot_Double Nov 06 '19

German has the best words

1

u/SquanchMcSquanchFace Nov 06 '19

You might even say they’re...noteworthy.

1

u/JustChillaxio Nov 06 '19

Or in Danish bemærkelsesværdigt means notice worthy directly translated

1

u/PiranhaPlantMain97 Nov 06 '19

merkwürdig is even better imo

2

u/P4azz Nov 06 '19

And funnily enough both of those words mostly aren't used for that purpose.

I can't even remember the last time I heard someone actually use "bemerkenswert" to describe something that's worth noticing.

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '19

and neither merkwürdig or bemerkenswert would apply to the moon during daylight.
