Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Germans calling gloves "hand-shoes" will never not be funny to me. Similarly, they have so many literal names for things. Suicide is self-muder, airplane is fly-thing, gums are tooth-meat.
German's my second language, and just the other day I heard a new term while playing a game that was so literal I didn't need a dictionary. I wish I could remember what it was.
Oh I don't like tooth meat at all
Swedish is exactly the same for the examples you brought upp, but we share a lot with german so its checks out i guess..
