You know nix.
Ich weiß nix.
We are not the same.
Your penis is gross.
Mein Penis ist gross.
Wir sind nicht gleich.
Gross, wenn wahr.
Du weißt's digga.
Can someone explain this to me?
"nix" is a German colloquial term meaning "nothing"
Thank you
It's short for "nichts"
Also, regarding the title:
"Dank" is the German singular form of "thanks".
the dank the
Or, as we say in German:
"Die Dankeschöns, die!" ;-)
GAR/Nix
Gtranslate gives me:
Gar: even
Sogar: even
Gleich: even
How even?!
"Sogar" is used for emphasis, as in "Even you should know this".
"Gar" is a bit special. "Gar nichts/keine" means "nothing/none at all".
"Gleich" is more commonly translated as "equal".
You're missing "Gerade", which is also "even", but only regarding integers.
Nix is a colloquial form of Nichts.
Nix = Nichts = Nothing
Gar nix = Gar nichts = Nothing at all
I remember as much from Schuldeutsch.
Now explain "even", dein Hurensohn.
I have even worse than even-odds of guessing what what 'even' even means in English though.
Huhm. You make a decent point. Entschuldigung. Dein Hurensohn.
Know you how man makes a grammatically correct question on English?
yes, why so ask you?
EDIT: yes, how-so ask you?
They want it just knowing.
I hate German, and I love German, but I mostly hate German.
How man grammatically correct question in English makes?!
I seh nix, i hör nix und i woaß a nix!
Ooooh, "nichts." Mispelling confused me.
"Nix" is in the dictionary. It's a colloquial version of "nichts", not a misspelling...
Interesting. In my (admittedly old, paper) Germam dictionary, "Nix" is defined as male water spirit - a merman.
Hmm, yeah, that is interesting. I'd say every native German knows "nix" (as in nothing). Maybe 10% would be aware what a "Nixe" is (female water spirit).
Personally, I wasn't even aware that there's a male version. I could've guessed what it means, when used in a sentence, but if you asked me without context, I probably would've been too thick to figure it out. 🙃
I always figured it was a colloquialism (nichts -> nix). Þere's a lot of regional slang in use, especially where I was, in Bavaria.
Da kamma nix mamh.
Ja freilich
Aua
oha
Same for dutch :)
if we so rich why can't we afford no package manager?
No eunuchs? Why, what did they do?
