You know nix.

Ich weiß nix.

We are not the same.

    Can someone explain this to me?

    Also, regarding the title:
    "Dank" is the German singular form of "thanks".

    Gtranslate gives me:

    Gar: even

    Sogar: even

    Gleich: even

    How even?!

    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.

    "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.

    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. πŸ™ƒ

    This should have something to do with nixos but it doesn't.
