ZacGerman Language: challengeaccepted
Axel Antoni@germanyinuk wunderbar!
muıııo@germanyinuk So I totally read it "abscheissen" 😅
BugGenerator@germanyinuk Sehr gut!
One Meat Ball ✔️@germanyinuk There's a long German word that means trying to fix something but only making it worse, or making a bigger mess than the one you're trying to clean up. I remember it seems to include something that sounds like "imbecile". Do you know the word Im thinking of?
Herms@Onemeatball verschlimmbessern
katzenberger
Christopher@Onemeatball @germanyinuk do you mean Verschlimmbesserung?
Thomas Haeberlen@Onemeatball The word you are looking for might be "verschlimmbessern" - a portmanteau of "verschlimmern" (to make worse) and "verbessern " (to make better).
Marc Etienne@Onemeatball @germanyinuk Verschlimmbesserung
einFale@Onemeatball @germanyinuk "verschlimmbessern"?
Phil Höfer@Onemeatball Verschlimmbessern.
Tobias Zeumer
Aviva Gary@germanyinuk The devil works fast but the German language was already there and back... 😆

Backpfeifengesicht!
airisa@germanyinuk @richlv Tā, skatos, ka Vācija dara to, par ko Tu runāji, - izveidojusi savu instanci publiskā sektora institūcijām.
Rihards Olups@airisa @germanyinuk
Jā, Vācija, Nīderlande (https://fediversereport.com/dutch-government-officially-launches-mastodon-server/) un laikam vēl kaut kas.
Mēs vēl varam paspēt pirms igauņiem!
@richlv Mhmmjaa, vajag kādu entuziastu publiskajā sektorā, kas šādu iniciatīvu būtu gatavs vilkt uz priekšu. Pēc būtības mums pat ir vairākas iestādes un ministrijas, kuras varētu ar tādu iniciatīvu nākt.
Feral Alice@germanyinuk tfw you're not a native speaker and briefly confused schießen for scheißen
tzzzpfff@germanyinuk Ich habe mich immer viel mit der deutschen Sprache beschäftigt.
Aber ich kannte bisher nur die sarkastische Version? 😳
d0rk ✅@germanyinuk
I only use that in a negative context like "the worst was... "
Looks like that works in the twitter context even better
AhaAchja@germanyinuk

Martijn Blokhuis@germanyinuk @patrice I hadn’t heard of that one. Thinking about it, I don’t really know that many German expressions 🤔
