ok but the full translation is also extremely good

nothing better than the wrong capitalization of Sie

#‘’we are obliged to keep this data for 4 weeks after which it will be destroyed’’#versus#‘’we are obliged to keep this data for 4 weeks after which YOU will be destroyed’’

you’re right. after which you will be absolutely fucking obliterated

There were no fucking postcards

There was an obsession with fucking

What is this big Fucking joke?

u know how the tail of a really little brand new kitten sticks right up in the air and how their bodies are kinda chubby

thats good 

FORGOT to provide Evidence

In Austria, we call kittens at that age “Autodromkatzerl”, which translates to “bumper car kittens”, because of the way their tail sticks up. It’s not a really common word, but a very cute one, I think

this is a genuinely delightful bit of knowledge, thank you for sharing this!! omg

so this European clothing retailer decided to advertise their jean cuts on youtube and it's unintentionally the funniest shit I've seen today. why? well.

now important context here: in German, die (pronounced 'dee') is just a feminine article, it literally means "the".

but if an ad gets placed in the middle of an English video and doesn't use a single explicitly German word for most of the ad, even a native speaker is gonna think "they want me to die how?" it keeps getting funnier.

I mean, holy shit

i will use these as reaction images until i die

No offense but all the Germans in the comments explaining why this isn’t funny is the funniest part of this to me

Like of course I know it means "We're looking for you". But why are you looking for them? To such their dich?

Bruh, this is a veritable gold mine. Thank you OP! I am sending you the best psychic vibes - this is awesome. 

Ok so I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole of researching period food & recipes, and,,,,

excuse me medieval people but what the fuck

there is a German cookbook, 14th century, where almost every recipe is titled "eine gute speise" ("a good food"), with notable exceptions such as "das ist auch gute" ("this is also good").

when i'm typing officially i love to capitalize nouns. i capitalize nouns like nobody's business

Oh boy do I have a language for you

German idioms #3

"für einen Apfel und ein Ei"

= "for an apple and an egg"

-> when you buy something very cheap; for peanuts, for next to nothing

Ich wurde outgecalled:(

@zweizimtsterne

I am not a fan of all those lists of “untranslatable words” but I don’t believe that there is a translation of the word that can be as satisfying as “Feierabend” itself. One of the best German words. Incredibly good. 12/10. Everyone should feier their abend.

When I was working in Germany for a bit my coworkers kept telling me “have a good party tonight!” when the day was over because they thought they were being nice translating for me, and I had to explain that that does Not mean the same thing in English. It was very funny.

@polyglot-noodle it literally translates to “party evening” but describes the time of day after having finished work. No matter at what time your shift finishes and if you are only going to lie on your couch watching netflix after that, your coworkers will wish you a nice party evening. It’s also incredibly satisfying to close your work laptop and just exclaim “party evening!!!” to announce the end of your work day. The english language is really missing out.
