You can actually select what languages you want to see in settings. Which is a step up from reddit. Only weird thing is you ALSO have to select "undetermined" language besides English and whatever else.

yup that is also my signal for "you have exhausted all the English lemmy content from now on it is all Deutschland"

[-] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 16 points 14 hours ago

I'm in europe, but I've actually been learning german these past few months so i see German posts as free practice

[-] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 hour ago

I read German memes to practice German.

Wahrlich nicht kringelig

[-] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 46 points 20 hours ago

Same but I'm from Australia. Ich_iel is pretty much German Duolingo to me at this point.

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.

[-] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah it is pretty good practice for puzzling out meaning

[-] Hubi@feddit.org 1 points 2 hours ago

The German on ich_iel can be "creative"

[-] Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org 13 points 11 hours ago

Another one making the mistake of learning German by ich_iel-memes.

Nein. Das ist zeit für Deutsch lernen. Dann du kannst Scheißposts in zwei Sprachen machen

[-] antonamo@feddit.org 5 points 13 hours ago

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.

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 18 points 19 hours ago

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?

[-] amoistgrandpa@lemm.ee 17 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

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.

[-] galoisghost@aussie.zone 3 points 11 hours ago

This is what I meant. I’m still learning German, so there may be mistakes.

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago

Thank you!

Zeit threw me off and had no idea what Sprachen machen meant.

[-] vrojak@feddit.org 11 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

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"

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 13 hours ago

Or speak-things, depending on how spicy you want to get translating Sprachen.

[-] randint@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 5 points 19 hours ago

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?

[-] marzhall@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago

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."

1 Meter = 10 Decimeter = 100 Zentimeter

1 Kilometer = 1.000 Meter

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 14 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I forgot that your heathens use "." Instead of "," in numbers. I was very confused

[-] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 10 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 4 points 14 hours ago

I hate how it looks but I can't deny the superiority

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

That is interesting. I like it. Wondering if I can use it at work or in code. Hmmm

[-] superkret@feddit.org 9 points 19 hours ago

It's called a decimal point. No wonder you don't understand.

1 Liter Wasser = 1 Kilogramm
1000 Liter = 1 Kubikmeter

I've, legit, learned a decent amount of German just by having Google translate up on my second monitor browsing lemmy late at night.

(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.
