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

    source
    • realitaetsverlust@piefed.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      If you take it literally, yes, but it is usually used in a hiring context.

        Thanks. I wasted a year on Duolingo and got very little idioms, just some supposedly common sayings like das is schnee von gestern, oder es kostet nur einen apfel und ein ei.

        Honestly, ich_iel has done more for my understanding than Duolingo did, but it is still almost nil.

      suchen = to search/look for

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

        Aaah, thanks, I had a hard time to figure out what is supposed to be funny here.

        I’m fairly certain the German ch sound doesn’t exist in English

        Unless you’re a Berliner, but then you have to wonder why your baked goods are talking, and why they insist on being called Pfannkuchen instead.

        Well it is close, though. A velar fricative versus a velar plosive. Both unvoiced.

        Coming back to this thread, because sometimes it actually is pronounced as a k

        e.g. Fuchs, Lachs, wachsen

    Must be a case of this superior sense of humor that we Germans famously do not possess.

    source
    • Qwel@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      “ch” is sometimes pronounced “k” in some languages, including english

        people just really really want to see dicks everywhere

        For that all you need to do is to turn on any TV news.

        Happens often in English even if it isn’t the default. Chasm and school for example.

    Haaaaaa. C’mon Deutschland, its a funny phrase. We don’t need a lesson in pronunciation.

    In Estonian twelve months is kaksteist kuud

    Sounds like “cocks taste good”.

    We’re all allowed to enjoy the penis humour.

    source
    • Jiral@lemmy.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      That’s the thing though. The sign says something like “we’re sooshan deesh”

      source
      • TerdFerguson@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        The phrase is funny when you anglicize the pronunciation.

        Is this really a comprehension issue?

    What gets me is the potatoes that are advertised as extra big…

    “Extra dick!”

      Behold: Metten’s “Dicke Sauerländer Bockwurst” (Thick Sauerländer Sausage - Sauerländer is an ambiguous term that means to say the sausage is from the “Sauerland” region, but a person from that region would be referred to as a Sauerländer as well) Image

  • Jorn@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Knowing the German pronunciation makes it not as funny. But seeing “extra dick burgers” at the store still gives me a chuckle.

    Oh, this must be so funny when you are monolingual and have no idea how to pronounce German

        I should have known Germans are all about sausage.

    And like most German things, they’re saying it in the most terrifying way possible.

      When You speak German to a polish person he will respond with “don’t shoot”.

      I disagree, because them still searching at least means they haven’t found you yet.

    The Germophiles came en masse to correct the translation. I guess they were “suchen dich”, op.

    Why are Americans literally seemingly physically incapable of pronouncing words like “suchen” and “dich” in the proper way? Of course I am biased as a native german speaker, but I swear, those sounds aren’t that complicated to make?
