ich_iel is the worst place to learn german, the running gag is to translate stuff from english literally while actively ignoring the context.

It's not even easy to understand ich_iel as a native speaker. They use an extreme form of internet slang only understood by a handful of people.

Dies ist ein klarer Fall eines Geschicklichkeitsproblems.

Sad that your translator has chosen "problem" instead of "issue".

[–] Klear 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Translation ~~problem~~ issue.

Jajajajaja

Did I just say “yes” a bunch of times, or was I laughing? No idea.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Agreeing in German, laughing in Spanish, I think.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I took German in High school… 25+ years ago. Never got fluent and never used it after that. Now I see the memes and find myself picking out words I remember to find the funny.

[–] psycho_driver 25 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Damn Germans and their enigmatic memes
