Note
Not that we Germans have particular spoons for carrot soup... but at least we can talk about them :DBreakdown of der Mohrrübensuppenlöffel
der Löffel
the spoon
die Mohrrübensuppe
the carrot soup
Did you notice that this is actually a combo of three words?
The word 'Mohrrübe' is already a combined word from 'Mohr' (negro -refering to a black spot in the flower of the carrot plant) and Rübe (beet root)
You don't have to remember those words. This was merely to point out that you can combine an infinite number of words.
Test yourself: What does der Mohrrübensuppenlöffel mean?

“How do German cases work?”
German has four grammatical cases: nominative (subject), accusative (direct object), dative (indirect object), and genitive (possession). The case determines the form of articles and adjectives. For example, "the dog" is "der Hund" as a subject but "den Hund" as a direct object.
