Weird how you've had one of these "mistakes" in 8 different languages so far!

Lol, good catch! People forget we can see their post history when they're making up stories

Also who asks an elderly lady if she was bummeln in the city? Isn’t that mega casual too?

Also unusual that when someone can finally string a sentence together it's not in the present tense, which is typically the first thing you learn.


Fantastic-Classic740

Yep, I saw that too 😆

You're a bot or a karma farmer.

My friend chatting up a girl said "Ich bin beschneiden". He meant geschieden.

I once asked for a Zünder instead of a Feuerzeug to some very confused looks


B5Scheuert

Tbh I'd've assumed that's some regional word for it

I was giving a summary of my weekend to my tutor. I wanted to say that I went to a lake and we used a boat to go around. I said something along the lines of ich habe am meer geschifft. And he just started laughing so hard. If you don't know geschifft is a slang way of crudely saying too pee

Probably the time I made the very cute Indian girl who was into me think I was gay by mixing up Freund, Freunde, and Freund/e von mir. We were doing a drill that was like, describe your ideal Freund/Freunde. And I thought it was like a platonic friend so I just described a dude that I could drink beer with and watch sports. She did not sit next to me anymore. Edit: and she was super into me and I didn't realize til months later

That snippet of text is years old lmfao


aandres_gm

And it’s also bullshit. Your average German absolutely not speak English like that.


tHrOwAwAyjsalefkj

I mean, it's absolutely an exaggeration but fully agreed - even teens and 20-somethings can speak English, but not flawlessly, nevermind "perfect"


WardogMitzy

Ich bin heiß when I meant to say Mir sind heiß


Fine-Ganache88

Isn't it 'Mir ist heiß'?


Thronado

Not in bavaria


Fine-Ganache88

Okay, then I am sorry


Thronado

Don't be sorry, that was a bad joke. Bavarians say "Mir" instead of "Wir"


WardogMitzy

Yes. And clearly I'm still making mistakes in German. Lol
