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

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.

Sad that your translator has chosen "problem" instead of "issue".

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Translation ~~problem~~ issue.

Always know I've been awake too long when new turns Deutsche. Gotta brush up.

Jajajajaja

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

[–] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 36 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Agreeing in German, laughing in Spanish, I think.

[–] FQQD@feddit.de 11 points 10 months 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 10 months ago (1 children)

Ryan, is that you?

[–] SchrodingersPat@lemmy.ml 28 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Sorry, different American

[–] Jay@sh.itjust.works 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There are more?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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 10 months 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
