I mean I was planning to visit in the next couple of years anyway I guess…
just remember that ich_iel has a lot of fun with literal translations of english words which can lead to very weird german.
Nur erinnere, dass ich_iel ein Los des Spaßes mit literarischen Übersetzungen von englischen Wörtern hat, was zu seltsamen Deutsch bleien kann.
lmao bleien
This will all just lead to an increase in suffering 😢
Dies wird alles gerecht bleien zu einem innenschmalz in Leiderei 😢
Schmalz ist aber grease, nicht crease. Also Innenfalz vielleicht…
Stimmt, ich hatte einfach nur phonetisch “übersetzt” weil es lustig klang - aber ein paar Stunden danach ist mir auch wieder eingefallen, dass “crease” ja selbst auch ein Wort war, hatte dann aber keine Lust mehr es zu korrigieren/zu ändern.
That’s so metal 🤟
Wenn es Metall ist, kommt es in die gelbe Tonne oder auf den Wertstoffhof. Ordnung muss sein.
nie.
please be advised that speaking german properly is super fucking hard compared to learning many other languages, and you don’t need german in germany for the most part.
when I’m in germany I speak my shitty, broken german and they respond to me in english
That’s when you double down and tell them in German that you don’t speak English. That’ll confuse 'em.
I, a white man, would love to learn to speak German with an Indian accent just to really fuck with 'em
That’s the spirit.
I’d try Turkish tho
Fuck it i’ll just speak spanish or french then.
I once asked a German guy in Germany if he spoke German. On accident. When I was trying to ask him if he spoke English.
Did he reply in German that he didn’t? :-)
They probably speak English with you because your German is not sufficiently efficient.
My favorite phrase to use in all foreign countries is “Please forgive me, I am American.” It gets a laugh out of almost everyone even when terribly butchered in any language and most people will then attempt English for you.
Except Parisians, who do not care. I think they would prefer I point and grunt to trying either English or my awful French.
Thank you for differentiating between french and parisians.
Ja, wir neigen dazu, das zu tun.
ICH WEISS
Compared to other languages… If those other languages are Romantic, North Germanic, Dutch, Afrikaans, or Frisian. A majority of other languages are typically considered more difficult for people who only speak English.
That being said, I found Russian way easier than German at first, but that quickly stops being the case… German shares a lot of semantic/syntactic similarities with English so you can reasonably assume that a lot of German constructions will easily translate to English, for Russian though it’s more unfamiliar and you have to put more effort into thinking Russian-y. The main thing that made German way harder at first is German declensions… ugh… Russian has a complex declension system but it’s extremely regular, while German declensions are pretty irregular and the declension of articles is especially bad because their forms overlap a lot. Adjective declension is similarly bad. German word order also fucked with me a lot but it’s decently rigid so you get it quickly.

I copy that and will increase production, if you ask I translate, you’re welcome.

Ich nicht.
Does anyone know what is the deal with the images (I assume it’s some kind of German meme) of people or characters with instant ramen on their head?
The noodles are just my signature. So just ignore the noodels. They have nothing todo with the meme directly. I just place them on the head of whoever in the meme is me.
Haha all this time I thought it was some widespread cultural reference. Thanks for all the OC!
No problem. Sadly in the last time I post less because I kinda made all of my meme ideas haha
Creativity comes and goes. I don’t like the internet’s culture of forcing content creators to produce no matter what because it leads to poor quality. The ideas will come back
Thanks :)
Might be the wrong answer, but I think it’s kind of a signature of the creator… Sth with insta in his name
Ding ding ding You are Correct!! :D All the memes with instant noodels are from me. Its my signature. :)

I don’t speak German. I just have Google Translate installed on my phone and just selected the text and hit “translate”.
Ich würde mich auch blockieren.

I was thinking about it for a while. The posts encouraged me. The prospect of possibly wanting to leave the US in the next year or two depending on things also makes me want to learn a second language.

Number of German-language posts? I’m somehow not seeing those. I am however a native speaker of German already, so no need anymore to learn it.
Sort by Top Six Hours, and they will start showing. !ich_iel@feddit.de shows up frequently there.
Now it will be !ich_iel@feddit.org
Deutsch ist gar nicht so schwierig. Versuch es doch einfach mal!
Bloß nicht c/ich_iel besuchen. Zangendeutsch kann Einen verrückt machen.
War die erste Community, die ich blockiert hab. Erst auf .de, jetzt auf .org. So einen Blödsinn muss ich mir echt nicht geben.

Try a little less Chaplin, and you are on a good way.
I’d be interested in learning, because German is the biggest contributor to modern English along with French. Of course the split happened long, long ago, but still…
It would have to be a couple years though, after I (knock on wood) am done getting to about B2/C1 on French.
German is the biggest contributor to modern English
Common misconception. English and German are West Germanic languages with a common ancestor, whose ancestor in turn is common among Norwegian, Gothic, Saxon, etc etc. The only influence German has now is the odd loanword, like Weltschmerz and Schadenfreude. English loaned a lot of words from French a thousand years ago because Norman was the substrate language in England a thousand years ago and is still a sort of prestige language. Dutch is much the same but you never hear anyone say that.

Hahahahaha! XD
Good luck, bro. (you’re gonna NEED it)
Huh? Wo sind die posts? Where are they?

What are you subscribed to, to be seeing that many?
I think I’ve seen a couple tops in recent memory.
Depends on how you sort. If you sort by “top of last 1/6 hours” you will see lots of stuff from other languages.
I browse by All with the Hot sort.
I see German posts constantly. I think because they might not be language tagged correctly?
Not making the language tag mandatory is one of the bigger lost chances of Lemmy. I can’t even select it in my client.
I can see a use case for not having a language tag. For example on photos in general photography communities. But yeah, it’s definitely an underused feature.
Or not really to feel bothered to change it to something else.
That’s an explanation for why it was not used correctly. It doesn’t really work as an “or”.
I have set mine to show me all and sort by new by default, lol. (If I get bored I may temporarily chenge to hot and top.)
