I still don't know what ich_iel is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask

[–] Vittelius@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago (4 children)

It's the German version of me_irl. Stands for "Ich _ im echten Leben" and is a direct translation of the English

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Omg I was reading it as "ich lel" not "ich iel" this whole time 😅 thanks

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've internally been saying "eesh eel"

... which now seems like calling it "me earl'

It is pretty close on the pronunciation, except ch is not sh. Unless you're speaking certain regional dialects :)

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

The closest pronunciation you can get in English is probably eek.

It also incorporates c/memes, basically

[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Aww, thanks! Consider me slightly more educated than when I awoke this morning :)

[–] Vittelius@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago

Happy to help

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 months ago (5 children)

it is only me_irl in name though, it is a general meme / conversational community with the obnoxious (and over used to death) in joke that is zangendeutsch.

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago (5 children)

"Zangendeutsch" means an aggressive way of removing the influence of english into the german language. But outside of ich_iel we write in english as everyone. Which is obviously a little bit weird, isn't it?

Bless you sir or madam, you know not how long I have suffered

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It started as a German version of me_irl (hence the name "ich im echten Leben") and developed a culture on its own including bad translations from English and other insiders

[–] superkret@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago

It's mostly ramen, cows and trains now.

[–] HerrVorragend@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

"War's schon immer."

[–] ours@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How are there so many of them

That sounds linke you are not one of them, yet your posting history suggests to differ.

"Toastbrotmann" ist jetzt auch nicht wirklich die beste Verkleidung.

Detective mogoh on the case. Will he solve this mystery or will the evil shitposter get away unscathed? Join us next week to find out!

I love my job!

Are we learning German now?

[–] dogsoahC@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There are several steps between learning German and comprehending whatever the fuck we're doing over there.

If you use ich_iel to learn German, your next visit to Germany could be... interesting.

[–] Brocon@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To be honest... I would pay for a beer or two just to watch that.

Whenever I see Lemmy without being logged in, it's a wall of German and all I can think of is "ach, du lieber... das ist not eine booby!"

[–] Fetus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Did you wear a dress for a period in the 40s?

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

I'm a simple man. I see booby, i upvote

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

For me it's DU. DU HAST. DU HAST MICH.

Or alternatively, Ich bin ein Berliner

[–] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (6 children)

"So, you said you're auditing the class. Why are you so interested in learning German?"

"Uhh... memes. You can tell they're fire, but I can't read them."

I find the lack of "SPRICH" in here disturbing.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago (4 children)

But there is a lot of "DEUTSCH" in here, so...
