I always try to decipher their memes because they look funny.
Fr fr these guys look like some top tier shit posters.
I speak German and I can confirm, top-tier stuff.
And it’s less funny if you translate it into English because part of the joke is literal translations that make no sense in German
That means you should start /c/moi_dlvv
Tbh I’ve kind of forgetten what little French I managed to learn earlier, so this wouldn’t work for me either
I’m in the same boat with German sadly. Trying to relearn some though. Ich habe fast alles vorgessen.
Deutsch vergeht, die MaiMais bleiben.
Ich bin eine kleine auflauf
Geben sie mir senf und sauerkraut zu dem bratwurst 😎
Boah, Bayern muss echt an Österreich angeschlossen werden.
Wir nehmen’se gern, vastehn tu ma uns, und se wissen wie ma Bier trinkt.
Is this when I put noodles on my head? Never understood that meme

The legend
Im not a legend. Im just some noodle who is way to active on lemmy
Jaja, @Instantnudel@feddit.org kocht da da immer so ein eigenes Süppchen… :)
Fucking treppenwitz in action here
Parle Français tu Hurensohn!
*fils de pute
Je vais «fuckin’ subscribe» toute de suite
Moi aussi
Yep idem
I’m legit considering getting back to learning German to understand their memes, they look so juicy
I especially liked their sausage starter kit (can’t find the meme now)
I studied German in high school but I don’t remember any of it. I like to pretend that ich_iel is just using made up nonsense words, like the Swedish Chef muppet.

We’re more into dumb sturgeon puns.
And ramen noodle hair, apparently?
I took French in high school and barely scraped by. My wife took German and went on an exchange program for six weeks after high school and had a terrific time.
Close to 30 years later and I remember a lot of the French but she’s forgotten most of the German.
So who’s laughing now, huh?
Oh right, you got to have those six weeks in Germany. Merde.
You won cause you can insult the French in their own language. Your wife had to be in vague proximity with a 1990s French person.
You won cause you can insult the French in their own language.
Not as well as the French can insult me for being American. And in perfect English too, most likely.
Define perfect English. Cause you could always lord over them the fact that they have a shitty government entity that used to gorce them to use what amounts to a government enforced dialect.
Meanwhile if I wrote phonetically it would be mildly ineligible, just like my dialect.
Learning French in the US is such a let down. Spanish is the unofficial second national language and German has the best memes.
What even is ich_iel?
Me_irl but german.
It’s better because every post with an English word gets
SPRICH DEUTSCH DU HURENSOHN
as a response
And yet when I try to SPRICH DEUTCH to actual live Germans they give me a pitying look and firmly reply in perfect English
perfect English
Such a thing does not exist in Germany.
Only because of their exacting standards. Even when I lived in Germany in the 90s the only time I had trouble understanding someone speaking English was when our realtor was trying to be racist but didn’t know the English words.
The bar was “perfect”, not “understandable” English.
See, that is what I mean. Nobody speaks “perfect” English, not even native speakers, because languages are not prescriptive. Their function is to communicate ideas and if you have successfully communicated then you have used language “perfectly”.
The bar was “wunder”
Yes the English qualities in Germany itself are a total shitshow compared to the countries around Germany (except France and Italia)
Well yeah, the germans are well known sticklers to rules.
The Germans are well known stickers
The Germans are well known.
The Germans are
They are
Hey I just tried the trick of sounding it out and I got it! Thanks Picard manoeuvre (I still don’t know how to ping).
Not anymore. Currently there is a notion to fight against it.
Grammar and syntax aside, it’s basically /me_irl for our German-speaking compadres. Most other languages - French included - generally have a community analogous to most of the popular English-language communities.
Ich, im echtem Leben.

You miss all of it. Learn German instead. Drop the French.
F&$#
Excuse my french
German jokes are the wurst.
In case you’re learning French to be able to work at a bigger French company - don’t. You will be very unhappy. The basic reason is, French companies, even those who think they’re “modern”, are still run like Louis XIV’s is the CEO. Like an extremely rigid, top-down, feudalistic little empire full of screaming bosses and servile employees.
For me it’s Dutch. The Dutch own late night Lemmy for me and I want to know what I’m missing.
I’ve picked up on Overleden though :(
Dutch looks like someone got really drunk and tried to combine English and German.
No umlauts, just keep adding vowels and it’s more or less done isn’t it?
C’est la merde
Selber
Never too late to learn!Es ist nie zu spät zu lernen!
Pro tip, you can use Google lens to translate (if you’re like me and don’t care as much about my privacy/have an android phone).
You also could use Llava but the results may not be great
You can also type it into a translator
