1 Meter = 10 Decimeter = 100 Zentimeter
1 Kilometer = 1.000 Meter
I forgot that your heathens use “.” Instead of “,” in numbers. I was very confused
Swiss system is best system: apostrophes for thousands, either dot or comma for decimals. Completely unambiguous for anyone even if you’re seeing it for the first time: 12’345.67
Guten Morgen aus Deutschland, nimm ein Brötchen
Die Mohntagsknuspersonne oder den Mehrkorngoldmohnd?
(sorry this joke is probably impossible to understand for non-Germans)
Gute Nacht
I’ve, legit, learned a decent amount of German just by having Google translate up on my second monitor browsing lemmy late at night.
I was gonna make a Midnight Oil joke, then remembered they’re all 'Strayan.
Nein. Das ist zeit für Deutsch lernen. Dann du kannst Scheißposts in zwei Sprachen machen
Hmm, let me try.
No. This is not for German learning. Then you can’t shit post in the Spray Machine.
How close did I get?
Pretty close, but you skipped some nouns and you have too many "not"s in your sentence. The correct translation is “no, that is the time for learning German. Then you can shitpost in two languages”. Zeit is the word for time, and Sprachen means languages.
Just to be completely correct it would have been: “Nein, dann ist Zeit um Deutsch zu lernen! So kann man Scheiß-Posts in zwei Sprachen verfassen.” The english for is correctly translated with the preposition “um” and it is uncommon to use you as we have the pronoun “man” for such cases. But it is actual better German than you hear in my place most of the time.
I only speak a very tiny bit of German so apologies if I get this wrong, but this reads like English forced into German.
No. That is time for German learning. Then you can shitpost in two languages make.
Oh wow I just realized that there’s the weird make in the end so maybe it was proper German after all?
I’ve only got my A2 in German so I might also make mistakes with this, but yeah, that seems like proper German to me.
In German, the verb in a sentence fragment always goes in position 2. However, if a fragment contains two verbs (usually when you use the past perfect or when you use a modal verb, in my limited experience) then the second verb goes at the very end. So, technically, OP should have swapped “kannst” and “du”, because kannst is a modal verb and thus needs to go in position 2, but the rest is good.
I also feel like “Zeit für Deutsch lernen” might sound better if it was combined into a massive noun like Deutschlernzeit, but I might be stretching too far with that. The original version is perfectly understandable.
