Kakao is used for only the hot chocolate drink, and not for prepared chocolate as in chocolate bars, correct? (I understand it might also be listed as a raw ingredient in either, much as 'cacao' is in English).
I actually answered Jeg drikker varm kakao here, and it was rejected.
(Not expecting a definitive answer to this, but interested in peoples' views!) I tried Jeg drikker varmsjokolade but Duo said I'd missed a space. Yet, previous guesses of mine and my study partner (eg undertekster for subtitles and selvlært for self-taught) are apparently correct. Is it entirely random how nordmenn decide which words to crash together into portmanteau words? How well-established are these portmanteau words, or do more of them pop up all the time?
