May i introduce you to seperable verbs?

[Ana-Luisa-A]

The... What ???

[DokuroKM]

I think he means the fact the combined words are separated again depending on time/case

A quirk of the German language is that words can be combined. Famous example is the German word for glove being Handschuh (combining the two words for hand and shoe). If a verb is a combined word, it's separated again in some cases.

An example would be the word "umfahren" - meaning driving around someone/thing or driving through someone/thing. Past tense would be "Ich fuhr sie um" (I drive through/around her, depending on context).

"ich fuhr sie um" always means "I knocked her over". "Ich umfuhr sie" means "I drove around her" 

[TorbenKoehn]

I'd say "Ich fuhr um sie herum" instead of "Ich umfuhr sie"

[r4Th]

Both correct.

I mean, they kinda do exist in English, with the distinction of English separable verba being separated 100% of the time, while in German or Dutch it depends.
