german is easy:

vehicle? drive thing

plane? fly thing

drum kit? hit thing

tools? work thing

@tom

gloves? hand shoes

Orange? Chinese apple

Watch? At-look

@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?

@shel ohhhhh, sorry! Ich dachte du meintest "watch" wie "Armbanduhr"

@tom Ah!!

Aber ich denke, wie du "Uhr" sagst, ist witzig. Es klingt mir wie "It's 14 clocks"

@shel @Tom yeah it's really annoying that anyone who speaks German needs 24 clocks to tell the time

So-Shel-ist @shel

@noiob @tom "wrist clock" does make more sense than english "wristwatch" tho lol

@noiob @tom I dachte diese einer freier Staat war!!!

@noiob @tom someday i'm actually gonna be in Wien or Berlin or somewhere and trying to auf Deustche sprechen und sie werde ueber mich lachen....

@shel @Tom nah, but you're gonna have a hard time keeping the Germans from speaking English

@noiob @tom Yeah I know that if you go to any European country except France they're going to either want to practice their english or will just find it easier to use english than bothers with you trying to speak their language

@noiob @tom Aber wie!!! Ich habe seid Ein Jahr Deutsche nicht umsont studiert!!! Ich werde bestimmt versuchen!!!

@noiob @tom (Der Witz ist das iche werde noch nie nach Europe reisen sich leisten; so es ist umsont sein.)
