At first it annoyed me slightly but I’ve noticed that I can understand most of them without having to use a translator, so now it’s just free language practice. And deciphering memes is decidedly more fun than taking a course.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Ich hoffe du triffst nie auf Zangendeutsch, da weiß selbst ich nicht mehr, was dort eigentlich gesagt wird.

Tangendeutsch heff ik ja noch nie höört aver dat geiht ja noch. Dat klingt hollt meist bloot temlich swacksinnig. Wat seggt denn eerst bi zB Plattdeutsch.

Edit: Zangendeutsch habe ich ja noch nie gehört, aber das geht ja noch. Das klingt halt meist bloß ziemlich schwachsinnig. Was sagst dann erst bei zB Plattdeutsch.

I’ve never heard Zangendeutsch before, but that’s still possible. It just usually sounds pretty stupid. What about Low German(Plattdeutsch), for example?

Geen probleem, het is bijna Nederlands van iemand die het schrijven niet beheerst. En Duitse leenwoorden gebruikt om taalgebrek te compenseren.

If it helps: “Tisch” is table in German and Feta is a greek cheese. => Feta + Tisch = Fetisch, but actually “Fetisch” has a complete different meaning on its own (eng.:“fetish”) so its a play on words. Thanks for coming to my TED-Talk.

German idioms are funny. I read a book translated from German into English using ai. And Some of their idioms had me rofl.
