ich_iel is the worst place to learn german, the running gag is to translate stuff from english literally while actively ignoring the context.

13 0 ReplyThat honestly sounds like it would be hilarious.
Does it translate well back into English enough to get the joke?1 0 ReplyYes, ich_iel mostly just takes English words and translates them 1:1. Doesn't actually make sense in German, but that's part of the joke. If you translate it back to English 1:1 again you should understand it perfectly.
As a native German speaker I often had to translate ich_iel memes 1:1 to English first to understand them myself. Its basically English but in German.

It's not even easy to understand ich_iel as a native speaker. They use an extreme form of internet slang only understood by a handful of people.

When you agree for a fifth time in German it's actually a cheeky way of saying you disagree. /S

I took German in High school… 25+ years ago. Never got fluent and never used it after that. Now I see the memes and find myself picking out words I remember to find the funny.

I've seen those posts too, but can't speak German. What does "ich_iel" actually mean?
10 0 ReplyIt’s “ich im echten Leben”, which is a literal translation of “me in real life”.
Basically it’s a meme community and the german version of me_irl.
31 0 ReplyActually, it's a direct translation of I_irl. It should really have been mich_iel or mir_iel.

17 0 ReplyFrom what I looked up it means something like dude or mate. It's also used when expressing suprise? If native speaker has better insight I'd appreciate it.
15 0 ReplyIt's pretty much just "dude", vor talking with friends. Other widely used versions include "Digga" and "Bruder"
15 0 ReplyThe English "Yo" is a really good translation. You can use it to express surprise ("Alter! Wtf!" - "Yo! Wtf!") or to address someone ("Alter, was geht?" - "Yo, whats up?").
"Yo" really is the best translation I can think of.
11 0 ReplyThe literal meaning is a really informal "old one" but can also mean "age" in another context. It is used exactly like you described.
