    German Grammar Fun Fact: In german, “you” is either “dich” when directed at a single person, or “euch”, when directed at a group of people (or some super stuck up noble person, which luckily dont exist anymore in todays germany).

        German Grammar Fun Fact 3: “Sie” is also “she” and “they” in addition to the formal “you”. Which also means that it can’t work like the gender neutral singular “they” in english.

    The fish sturgeon is called “Stör” in German. The verb “to annoy” means “stören”.

    Most of these memes that were posted recently are puns where random German words that contain “stör” or a simmilar sounding syllable is replaced by the fish.
