Isn’t it closer to “we are looking for you”?

suchen = to search/look for

and ch doesn’t make a k sound, not even close.

Go back to school.

This is about German, not English

It is about English, because the whole joke is how it sounds in English.

“Ch” sounds like “k” in English?

Yes, such as in the word school.

Ha, true! But do people generally think of a “k” sound when they see “ch”?

I guess it depends on the word. Dich 100% sounds like it would be Dick compared to a Dish or Ditch pronunciation of ch though.

… I wonder how many people pronounce “lich” as “lick”

I used to… until I heard someone read it aloud one day.

I see. So it’s kina, dukess, koose and Apake? Gotta have a word with some english teakers, brb.

anarchy, , character, chemistry, echo, orchestra, scheme, anchor, chameleon, chasm, chlorine, chord, epoch, hierarchy, chiropractor, chorus, archive, chaos, school, schedule, stomach, ache, psychology, mechanic.

Yep. Ch as k- sound exists in english. So does ch as (t)sh. So it’s your choosing how you want to pronounce ch in foreign languages (and both are wrong)

Wow, almost like the whole meme is around how it sounds like dick when pronounced that way. You’re almost at the part where you’re ready to understand the joke, keep going I believe in you.

Na. Some people just want to see dicks everywhere. So much so, that you intentionally have to misread foreign languages.

Nothing wrong with seeing dicks everywhere. I’m even seeing one in my inbox as we speak.

And the sentence sounds like “We’re sucking dicks” to English speakers, it’s funny. We’re allowed to laugh at how similar it sounds.

I don’t mind dicks. This joke is just too constructed.

It’s really not, in English it sounds exactly like that. It requires no extra effort to read it as such.

You can’t take it when someone doesn’t find something funny you find funny, can you? I find it overconstructed and therefore not funny.

Mate, I’m not the one who came here to complain to me.

No, you came here to complain to zaphod.

No, I made a joke about school having the k/ch sound.

Yeah, sure, a joke…

Now you’re just making stuff up and I have better things to do then argue with someone who doesn’t get that others have a different humor. Take that stick out your ass, I’m having a better day.
