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

Is that true? My dear mister singing club!

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 1 year ago (1 children)

Translation ~~problem~~ issue.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 36 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Jajajajaja

Did I just say “yes” a bunch of times, or was I laughing? No idea.

[–] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreeing in German, laughing in Spanish, I think.

[–] FQQD@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ryan, is that you?

[–] SchrodingersPat@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sorry, different American

[–] Jay@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are more?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yes. There are in fact in excess of seven Americans on Lemmy alone.

Good that you chose this community, otherwise you'd have a request to change it to ich❌🇩🇪😂iel

I've seen those posts too, but can't speak German. What does "ich_iel" actually mean?

[–] Datorie@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (4 children)

It’s “ich im echten Leben”, which is a literal translation of “me in real life”.

Basically it’s a meme community and the german version of me_irl.

ich = me
iel = im echten leben = in real life

so ich_iel = me_irl
