| Apr 20, 2015 at 8:37 | comment | added | skymningen | It might also be related to the fact that non-german speakers collecting incredibly long german composite nouns usually have "Kinderwagengummistoßdämpfer" (the german translation of this) on their list. There used to be a Wikipedia article for it, which somehow I can't find now. | |

A "bumper" is a device attached to something (such as a baby buggy) to protect it from damage when it runs into some other object. "Rubber" is the material from which the bumper is constructed. | |

| Apr 18, 2015 at 23:03 | comment | added | Dan Bron | @Byroteck It's really not clear what you're asking at this point. Medica has provided both the syntax and the semantics of the phrase: syntactically, it's a noun phrase after the pattern AAAN. Semantically, it means bumpers, made for baby buggies (i.e. strollers), composed of rubber. What else do you want to know? | |

| Apr 18, 2015 at 22:57 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | Then you want the order of adjectives. | |
| Apr 18, 2015 at 22:54 | comment | added | Byroteck | I know that it's a phrase, I meant the syntax of a noun phrase :) | |
| Apr 18, 2015 at 22:52 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | It's not a sentence, but a phrase describing something: adj., adj., adj., n. inverted: Bumpers made of rubber for a buggy used for babies. No different, essentially, than any other string of adjectives and a noun: dark blue dinner jacket. | |
