german is easy:
vehicle? drive thing
plane? fly thing
drum kit? hit thing
tools? work thing
@shel wait what's watch supposed to be actually,
@tom Ich sehe der Film an? That's how I was taught to say it in German class? Maybe that's how you say it in Trier not in Wien?
@tom and i remember it being a Thing cuz someone was like "Wart... auf deutsche sprechst du 'I look at the movie?'" and we had a laugh cuz it just sounds funny in English to say you're "looking at a movie" kinda like how "hand shoe" is funny
@shel I usually say "der Toot" because uh, I guess it's "der Post"? "der Tweet"? The rule is usually to use the grammatical gender of the translation, but there isn't one here so I forgot where I was going mit diesem Toot
@noiob huh! Interesant! I had been taught that loan-words in german are always Neuter
@shel no, that would be too easy :D
@noiob Meiner Deustcher Professor hat mich angelogen >:(
Ich sehe mein Timeline an. Es gibt ein Toot. I sehe das Toot. Ich booste das Toot. Das toot ist geboostet.
