Just switch to German, I know it's die Geschirrspülmaschine

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Das ist die Waschmaschine! Setzen, sechs!

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Die, Bart, die! Herrgott nochmal!

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 2 months ago

Did you just say The, Bart, The?

Rustig, rustig. Het is nog geen augustus en we zijn nog niet in Zeeland.

Not knowing any German I can't tell the difference between this being correct or your putting down "the water sloshing noise machine" with a German accent.

(but for those curious scrollers it’s dishes sink machine)

[–] example@reddthat.com 9 points 2 months ago

it's more of a dishes washing machine.

while Spüle is sink, Geschirr spülen is washing dishes. spül is not a noun in this case.

Germans: German is such a beautiful language!

German:

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's beautiful in its precision and how it constantly clears your throat

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Or Swiss German. Chuchichäschtli.

Ok then. What's the gender of Nutella?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That wasn't covered in German class

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Clearly it's dieras Nutella

That's right it's das Kleidungumnassengerät

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

It's a machine that washes, close enough

[–] pumpkinseedoil@mander.xyz 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At least in my part of Austria it's usually „der Geschirrspüler“

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well yeah that's a different word

[–] pumpkinseedoil@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, I didn't mean to imply that the other word wasn't correct, just pointed it out because it means the exact same thing can be either male or female depending on which word you use.
