This may be the best argument I've ever heard for learning how to speak German.

    Besser als meine vernunft. Jemand wollte, dass ich es im Bett ausspreche.

    See, if I were an AI I'd have no idea what you're saying! I still have no idea what you're saying, but not because I'm an AI.... * sweats profusely *

    Uff, schönes Zangendeutsch.

    Just in case you don't actually speak German, "Vernunft" is one translation of "reason" but not the one you're looking for. It is reason, as in be reasonable, arguing from reason instead of feelings.

    Reason, as in the grounds for an argument, would be "Grund" or "Begründung".

    I appreciate that. I grew up with my parents occasionally using a small bit of german, but not enough for us to learn it. The rest I've been slowly learning over the years. When I speak german on lemmy I attempt to type it out myself, but I look up words or phrases with google.

    I really need to watch some comfort TV in german
