I had a chat with them yesterday using google translate and apparently they think “From the river to the sea” is problematic. Not sure why, but it’s probably their government lying to them and saying Palestine is an ethnostate.
Its problematic because its the Hamas slogan and rejects the existence of israel.
I reject the existence of Israel too. Before Israel, Jews and Arabs lived in peace in Palestine. But Britain invaded, created Israel, and cut Palestine in half. From the river to the sea, Arab Palestinians must be free to walk hand in hand with their Jewish siblings. Not imprisoned behind Israeli walls, forced out of their homes, and bombed in the name of stopping a Hamas government that Israel themselves helped gain power. Hamas is Israel’s fault, not the fault of the innocent children in Gaza. Israel is responsible for the attacks against Jews in Israel and in the rest of the world. Because Israel has told the world that Jews are evil colonisers and their existence must be paid for in innocent blood. This is a slanderous lie against the Jewish people! Down with Israel! Down with antisemitism! Down with genocide!

Agreed, but thats still no reason to identify with Hamas. I expect from a capable Individual like you to be able to differentiate and form an independent opinion
From the river to the sea has existed a lot longer than Hamas has in in power. A conservative government can’t “claim” a half century old chant.
Australia’s national animal is a kangaroo. If I draw a kangaroo on the canvas, does it mean I support the dictatorship of Australia? No, of course not. Because Australia doesn’t get to own the idea of kangaroos. And Hamas doesn’t get to own this chant. This chant is a lot less tied to the views of a conservative government than the German flag it’s drawn on.
Comme by [email protected] !
Je pense qu’on est moins nombreux mais on s’y amuse quand même.
Bonjour ! Je suis actuellement en train d’apprendre le Français. Suis-je invité ?
And that’s a real freaking stretch for what I know. And apparently I can’t pronounce most of it correctly
Bien sûr!
Merci !
[email protected] accepts any language. Especially Pascal.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Roh la la.
Le premier lien marche sans pb, tkt pas

Oui
C’est le probleme. Je vois !ich_iel tout le temps, mais !rance pas tellement.
Les allemands sont plus nombreux mais on est les plus braves
C’est la merde
Selber
That means you should start /c/moi_dlvv
Tbh I’ve kind of forgetten what little French I managed to learn earlier, so this wouldn’t work for me either
I’m in the same boat with German sadly. Trying to relearn some though. Ich habe fast alles vorgessen.
Deutsch vergeht, die MaiMais bleiben.
Is this when I put noodles on my head? Never understood that meme
Jaja, @[email protected] kocht da da immer so ein eigenes Süppchen… :)

Im not a legend. Im just some noodle who is way to active on lemmy
Fucking treppenwitz in action here
Ich bin eine kleine auflauf
Geben sie mir senf und sauerkraut zu dem bratwurst 😎
Ich bin nicht eine Kartofel !

Je vais «fuckin’ subscribe» toute de suite
Yep idem
Moi aussi
I always try to decipher their memes because they look funny.
Whenever I can figure one out through context I feel like a genius
Or when you try to read a word aloud and realize it’s basically the same as the English word with 50% more consonents.
That’s the meme. They translate English expressions, names and brands into German 1:1, disregarding any standing idioms and available translations. Hard to read even as a German native. Struggling to figure out what to OP meant is like 90% of the fun.
Haha, I remember trying to tell a German colleague that another colleague was ‘ingverklerten’ because he had red hair, apparently the German word for ginger is not used to represent colour. Almost as popular as our attempt to call someone a ‘glockenende’ when they had been foolish. Sounds like I should look into ich_iel a bit.
What you should tell your German colleague about the ginger is “Wo das Dach rostig ist, ist der Keller feucht.”
But also; rusty crotch, pubes like 13A fuse wire
Fun fact: pubes have the same color as someone’s eyebrows.
What even is ich_iel?
Grammar and syntax aside, it’s basically /me_irl for our German-speaking compadres. Most other languages - French included - generally have a community analogous to most of the popular English-language communities.
Ich, im echtem Leben.
me_irl
hugsandkisses
// Änderung: Ich bin der, der dich runtergewählt hat.
Me_irl but german.
It’s better because every post with an English word gets
SPRICH DEUTSCH DU HURENSOHN
as a response
And yet when I try to SPRICH DEUTCH to actual live Germans they give me a pitying look and firmly reply in perfect English
perfect English
Such a thing does not exist in Germany.
Only because of their exacting standards. Even when I lived in Germany in the 90s the only time I had trouble understanding someone speaking English was when our realtor was trying to be racist but didn’t know the English words.
The bar was “perfect”, not “understandable” English.
See, that is what I mean. Nobody speaks “perfect” English, not even native speakers, because languages are not prescriptive. Their function is to communicate ideas and if you have successfully communicated then you have used language “perfectly”.
The bar was “wunder”
Yes the English qualities in Germany itself are a total shitshow compared to the countries around Germany (except France and Italia)
Not anymore. Currently there is a notion to fight against it.
Well yeah, the germans are well known sticklers to rules.
The Germans are well known stickers
The Germans are well known.
The Germans are
They are
Hey I just tried the trick of sounding it out and I got it! Thanks Picard manoeuvre (I still don’t know how to ping).
I studied German in high school but I don’t remember any of it. I like to pretend that ich_iel is just using made up nonsense words, like the Swedish Chef muppet.
To be fair, there’s a shocking number of made up words… that’s part of the fun?
Technically all words are made up!
ich_iel is just using made up nonsense words, like the Swedish Chef muppet
We’re more into dumb sturgeon puns.
And ramen noodle hair, apparently?
That’s mostly one dude named “Instantnudeln” and the noodles were to signify his pov in the michmich.
Oh I missed that! Thank you. Also lol @ “mich mich”
Just learn both! But ich_iel has a lot more going on, so prioritise German.
German jokes are the wurst.
Understanding the language is great but it’s not enough. Unfortunately the majority of stuff posted are inside jokes which is why a lot of people perceive them as unfunny apparently
Just wait until you see [email protected]
What is even plier-english?
The equivalent of “Zangendeutsch”. Take an English sentence, translate each word 1:1 and you’ll have Zangendeutsch.
Plier English is the opposite. Take a German sentence and translate each word 1:1, ignoring all grammatical structure.
Thanks !
Learning French in the US is such a let down. Spanish is the unofficial second national language and German has the best memes.
French is so difficult to learn because of the pronunciation. Spanish is much easier to learn in comparison. I don’t get why all school in Germany prefer French as third language before Spanish.
They do? Well probably because it’s their neighbor.
Also long history of french being what different social elites like nobles and intellectuals liked to cosplay, leading to french being kind of a status symbol for being culturally educated
Also I think the more pressing/interesting question is why they don’t teach turkish, since ~every 30th person has a turkish backround
English and French are world languages and open up job opportunities. Turkish is only spoken in Turkey, it isn’t interesting economically and immigration from Turkey to Germany is a one-way street. If you want to learn Turkish that’s cool, but it is and should be optional at school.
Thats the gist. Of course it should be optional, no one said it should be mandatory, and I feel like the defensiveness of that argument is not entirely accidental.
My argument is that learning the language of the majority of immigrants would be testimony of a actually open post-migrant society.
Instead it’s “no one migrates to turkey and its economically useless”, as if learning french in school would be relevant to the migration of germans to france. Encounters of germans and turskish migrants happens on daily basis though.
Of course it should be optional, no one said it should be mandatory
I made the distinction because English and French were mandatory at my school in Germany. Many more languages were offered though if they had a teacher available. I remember Spanish, Italian and Chinese, I just can’t remember if Turkish was one of them.
I feel like the defensiveness of that argument is not entirely accidental.
My family is Kurdish, so I admit that maybe there’s a subconscious bias when learning Turkish comes up, if you know anything about the situation in Turkey and Kurdistan 🙂
as if learning french in school would be relevant to the migration of germans to france.
French skills are extremely valuable to Germans who want to work in Switzerland or Luxembourg
Btw, ben de biraz türkçe biliyorum, ama çok konuşmiyorum… in my daily life 😅 Dunno how to say that last part
Haha okay I automatically assumed I was talking to a techie-alman speaking out of a eurocentric perspective. How the turn tables.
Of course I understand your bias.
And yeah, switzerland… I still think that affects much less people than there are people living and working alongside turkish immigrants. This should motivate seeing turkish culture as valuable in the sense of living the cultural melting pot we created for economic reasons.
I dont understand the turkish part… something annoys you I guess? Anyway biji kurdistan. (Also not sure how to spell that. In my school they taught french and latin)
I would have thought Germans are too practical for that kind of thing.
The notion of national character might also be deceptive regarding its practicality, specifically to understand culture. Sincerly, practical german
The most populated region at war times was West Germany. It was governed by France after war.
I have no idea if this is actually the reason but we are incredibly thankful for restoring our country by our french friends - which we harassed and killed beforehand.
They still got up to the job.
French and German are similar but you just spit on people with different consonants
Expanding your brain by 20% might not go well… that’s extra 20% to worry about.
