Hello / Guten Tag,
I was wondering how you would say "A rain-soaked jacket" in German? e.g. "I found a green rain-soaked jacket lying on the ground which I think belongs to Allan's little sister." In English, it is a hyphenated compound noun.
Thanks for the help. I appreciate all answers, even the ones I do not vote for.
Sincerely,
Brian Costello

Comment: "Thank you very much for your answer Melanie. Your translation appears to be the most common way of putting it into German.
My thanks also to Amorel, Regina and Jule of their translations too. I don't doubt their authenticity, I just suspect that they are used less frequently.
Sincerely,
Brian Costello
