I forgot that your heathens use “.” Instead of “,” in numbers. I was very confused
Swiss system is best system: apostrophes for thousands, either dot or comma for decimals. Completely unambiguous for anyone even if you’re seeing it for the first time: 12’345.67
I hate how it looks but I can’t deny the superiority
That is interesting. I like it. Wondering if I can use it at work or in code. Hmmm
Guten Morgen aus Deutschland, nimm ein Brötchen
Das geht doch besser
ich nehme gern eine mit mohn danke sehr
Die Mohntagsknuspersonne oder den Mehrkorngoldmohnd?
(sorry this joke is probably impossible to understand for non-Germans)
yes
Danke!
Ich lieben Brötchen!
Gute Nacht
Jetzt schon?
Schlaf gut.
Natürlich, oder.
I’ve, legit, learned a decent amount of German just by having Google translate up on my second monitor browsing lemmy late at night.
I was gonna make a Midnight Oil joke, then remembered they’re all 'Strayan.
…it’s okay; they do metric, too…
jealous of Team Metric 🤓
(You do not in fact, go to bed.)
In a couple years you’ll be able to read German fluently… Without knowing how to speak it.
Ironically, it’s one of the few languages that English speakers have an easier time advancing their lingual fluency through literacy, in my experience. (former ESL teacher, international hospitality liaison, etc.)
That’s probably because early Germanic languages formed the base of the early English language, even before we “added” a ton of French and other shit through (actual and) cultural conquest.
If you look through language roots, English splits from Germanic at some point close enough to make the rules logical going from English to German but probably not the other way around, idk.
This is quite true. 🤓🤘🏼
I started learning German from my dad’s Jr. Highschool book from the 1960s but had no one around who spoke German. My pronunciation was… interesting (even trying to mimic what the guide was telling me in the front of the book). When I finally tried to speak to people, it was also funny to learn that several things were quite out-of-date (Feder vs Kuli I think was one).

Nein. Das ist zeit für Deutsch lernen. Dann du kannst Scheißposts in zwei Sprachen machen
Hmm, let me try.
No. This is not for German learning. Then you can’t shit post in the Spray Machine.
How close did I get?
Pretty close, but you skipped some nouns and you have too many "not"s in your sentence. The correct translation is “no, that is the time for learning German. Then you can shitpost in two languages”. Zeit is the word for time, and Sprachen means languages.
This is what I meant. I’m still learning German, so there may be mistakes.
Thank you!
Zeit threw me off and had no idea what Sprachen machen meant.
Machen -> make
The translation by amoistgrandpa is “Then you can shitpost in two languages”, which is good English, a more literal translation would be “then you can make shitposts in two languages”
Or speak-things, depending on how spicy you want to get translating Sprachen.
Just to be completely correct it would have been: “Nein, dann ist Zeit um Deutsch zu lernen! So kann man Scheiß-Posts in zwei Sprachen verfassen.” The english for is correctly translated with the preposition “um” and it is uncommon to use you as we have the pronoun “man” for such cases. But it is actual better German than you hear in my place most of the time.
Na dann bring denen doch wenigstens bei, dass Nomen wie Zeit groß geschrieben werden.
I only speak a very tiny bit of German so apologies if I get this wrong, but this reads like English forced into German.
No. That is time for German learning. Then you can shitpost in two languages make.
Oh wow I just realized that there’s the weird make in the end so maybe it was proper German after all?
Lol, you did good, but got tripped up by reading “Scheißposts” as a verb. It’s capitalized, so it’s a noun. The “make” at the end gets folded into the “kannst” - or “can” - so it’s “Then you can make shitposts in two languages.”

It’s really bedtime when it turns Indian.
*Hindi
I was gonna say Gujarati, but then learned it’s a subset of Western Hindi. TIL! 😅
I assume the time zone is right, but I’m not sure the userbase is there the way it is for the German-speakers. If there are actually a lot of Indians on Lemmy, I feel like most of them must be writing in English instead of Hindi or their other various native languages.
Same but I’m from Australia. Ich_iel is pretty much German Duolingo to me at this point.
Another one making the mistake of learning German by ich_iel-memes.
Be aware that part of ich_iel humour in no small part consits of comically literal translations of English expressions. That has nothing to do with proper German and as a learner you probably won’t be able to spot the difference.
Bad idea to try to learn German there.
The German on ich_iel can be “creative”
Yeah it is pretty good practice for puzzling out meaning
Oh boy, you’re learning Zangendeutsch
yup that is also my signal for “you have exhausted all the English lemmy content from now on it is all Deutschland”

Its always the 2 seconds of “WTF is OP saying?”. Oh. Non english. Nvm
