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

My English is so good, that makes me nobody so quickly after!

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@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Translation ~~problem~~ issue.

Always know I've been awake too long when new turns Deutsche. Gotta brush up.

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.

[–] Magnetar@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is, after all, the third most populous country on earth. It has a population larger than 52 people.
