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

[-] antonamo@feddit.org 4 points 3 months 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.

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?

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.

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

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

Thank you!

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

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.

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 2 points 3 months 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."
