SchrodingersPatGuten Tag Everybody
Good that you chose this community, otherwise you’d have a request to change it to ich❌🇩🇪😂iel

Sorry, different American
There are more?
Yes. There are in fact in excess of seven Americans on Lemmy alone.
So many? That’s amazing!
It is, after all, the third most populous country on earth. It has a population larger than 52 people.
Ah, now it makes sense! Thanks!

e0qdkI've seen those posts too, but can't speak German. What does "ich_iel" actually mean?
ich = me iel = im echten leben = in real life
so ich_iel = me_irl
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.
Actually, it’s a direct translation of I_irl. It should really have been mich_iel or mir_iel.
HolzkohlenNo it shouldn’t. Ich_iel is the correct translation.
Which is kinda unfortunate. Mich_iel would’ve been much more on brand.
It’s a bit more complicated. English uses me much more than German uses ich. Think of: It’s me, you and me, …
ich_iel is the worst place to learn german, the running gag is to translate stuff from english literally while actively ignoring the context.
That honestly sounds like it would be hilarious.
Does it translate well back into English enough to get the joke?

InstantnudelnYes, ich_iel mostly just takes English words and translates them 1:1. Doesn’t actually make sense in German, but that’s part of the joke. If you translate it back to English 1:1 again you should understand it perfectly.
As a native German speaker I often had to translate ich_iel memes 1:1 to English first to understand them myself. Its basically English but in German.
The English idioms must be super confusing. We have some odd ones like “chop a tree down” followed immediately be “chop a tree up”.

Is that true? My dear mister singing club!

Did I just say “yes” a bunch of times, or was I laughing? No idea.
RobotZap10000Agreeing in German, laughing in Spanish, I think.
sounds about right. no idea why the spanish have a stroke every time they laugh
Because they’re very passionate people.
When you agree for a fifth time in German it’s actually a cheeky way of saying you disagree.
Ja ja heißt leck mich am Arsch!
Olles klaa maistaa
When German and Finnish merge…
I’m pretty sure that’s the 69th sign of the apocalypse.
It’s not even easy to understand ich_iel as a native speaker. They use an extreme form of internet sland only understood by a handful of people.
Dies ist ein klarer Fall eines Geschicklichkeitsproblems.
Some skills can be purchased!
Sad that your translator has chosen “problem” instead of “issue”.
Problems is in the word at least. I’m mostly confused by the rest of that word.
