absprechenabmachen

Absprechenabmachen is not a standard term in the German language. It is commonly encountered only as a playful or hypothetical neologism, used to discuss or illustrate the relationship between two related verbs: absprechen and abmachen. In linguistic or comparative contexts, such a portmanteau can help describe how negotiation and consent interact in communication, but it has no fixed definition in dictionaries.

Absprechen is a separable verb with two principal uses. It can mean to coordinate and agree on something with others, for example: Wir haben mit dem Lieferanten abgesprochen, dass die Lieferung am Freitag erfolgt. In another sense, absprechen can also mean to deny or deprive someone of something, as in jemandem etwas absprechen, for example: Der Verein sprach dem Spieler die Startposition ab. The meaning depends on the object and construction, and the past participle is abgesprochen.

Abmachen is another separable verb with its own dominant sense: to arrange or settle something by agreement, often expressed with abgemacht or abmachen, for example: Wir haben abgemacht, uns um 9 Uhr zu treffen. Es gibt auch den substantivierenden Ausdruck Absprache, der eine vereinbarte Vereinbarung bezeichnet. Abmachen emphasizes reaching an agreement, while absprechen can emphasize the act of negotiating or the act of denying, depending on context.

In practice, absprechenabmachen would mainly appear in discussions about language use, translation, or negotiation theory. It is not a term used in standard reference works, and its meaning must be inferred from the surrounding discourse. See also: absprechen, abmachen, Absprache, Verhandlung.
