Die Amis schlafen...

1 Liter Wasser = 1 Kilogramm
1000 Liter = 1 Kubikmeter

Nene Kelvin ist besser (sofern es nicht um Wasser geht).

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

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

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

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days 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 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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.

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Thank you!

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

[-] vrojak@feddit.org 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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"

Na dann bring denen doch wenigstens bei, dass Nomen wie Zeit groß geschrieben werden.

[-] antonamo@feddit.org 6 points 2 days 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.

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.

[-] JimBeann@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Oh boy, you're learning Zangendeutsch

[-] Hubi@feddit.org 8 points 2 days ago

The German on ich_iel can be "creative"

[-] Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org 16 points 2 days ago

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

[-] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah it is pretty good practice for puzzling out meaning

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

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

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.

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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.)

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).
