I like that the literal rough translation of the Afrikaans word for society (samelewing) is just: together living.

Yes, in Dutch it’s ‘samenleving’ similar.

Yesterday was a huge anti-racism & anti-fascism demo in Amsterdam and one slogan was - someone would shout ‘Hoe laat is het?’ (What is the time?) then the group would answer back ‘Collectiviteit!’ (meaning being collective, but literally ‘collective time’ … actually you write time not as ‘teit’ but as ‘tijd’ but the sound is the same ;)) 

anyway I thought you can only do that in Dutch

Tag me to convert a cast into the long German word that inevitably exists for it. Made by @lsn.
