1 Meter = 10 Decimeter = 100 Zentimeter
1 Kilometer = 1.000 Meter
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
That is interesting. I like it. Wondering if I can use it at work or in code. Hmmm
Guten Morgen aus Deutschland, nimm ein Brötchen
Das geht doch besser

Die Mohntagsknuspersonne oder den Mehrkorngoldmohnd?
(sorry this joke is probably impossible to understand for non-Germans)
Danke!
I've, legit, learned a decent amount of German just by having Google translate up on my second monitor browsing lemmy late at night.
I was gonna make a Midnight Oil joke, then remembered they're all 'Strayan.
(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.
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 When I finally tried to speak to people, it was also funny to learn that several things were quite out-of-date (Feder vs Kuli I think was one).

Nein. Das ist zeit für Deutsch lernen. Dann du kannst Scheißposts in zwei Sprachen machen
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?
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.
Moin
It's really bedtime when it turns Indian.
*Hindi
I was gonna say Gujarati, but then learned it's a subset of Western Hindi. TIL! 😅
Same but I'm from Australia. Ich_iel is pretty much German Duolingo to me at this point.
Another one making the mistake of learning German by ich_iel-memes.
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.
The German on ich_iel can be "creative"
yup that is also my signal for "you have exhausted all the English lemmy content from now on it is all Deutschland"
Its always the 2 seconds of "WTF is OP saying?". Oh. Non english. Nvm
I'm in europe, but I've actually been learning german these past few months so i see German posts as free practice
