Dear people learning German
please be aware that the correct way to replace ä, ö, ü, ß is turning them into ae, oe, ue, and ss, not just taking the dots away or typing “B”.
Otherwise you can get things like,
“Das Wetter ist sehr schwül heute.”
= “The weather is very hot and humid today.”“Das Wetter ist sehr schwul heute.”
= “The weather is very gay today.”well I now know how to call the weather gay
So, it’s like in Polish.
“Zrobić łaskę” means “Do mercy to someone”
but
“Zrobić laskę” means “Make a blowjob”.
I cannot think of a case where removing the dots of ä and ö in Finnish would result in something naughty (if you can, please contribute) but the same thing applies, ä and ö are completely different from a and o, and one does not simply remove the dots.
Finnish:
Näin appelsiineja = I saw oranges.
Nain appelsiineja = I fucked oranges.
its even worse in turkish doe cus like
Sık dişini?? Hang in there/Endure
Sik dişini?? Literally just fuck your tooth
that’s it
amazing
Even in Spanish:
Feliz año nuevo = happy new year
Feliz ano nuevo = happy new buttholeIrish:
Tá mo chroí briste = My heart is broken.
Tá mo chroí bríste = My heart is trousers.
Danish:
Bølle = thug
Bolle = fucking
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a language that uses diacritics must have a minimal pair with and without diacritics that means something rude.
