Das wäre verdammt¹ geil

There, learned a German phrase ;-)

Pronunciation in IPA:
das 'vɛːrə fɛɐ̯ˈdamt ˈɡaɪ̯l

1: Technically, that's "damn awesome". The more literal translation of fucking would involve the word "fick", the most idiomatic version "verfickt geil". I don't really see it used even in rougher slang, so I feel like the general equivalent in terms of usage would be "verdammt".

Danke! I’ve always wanted to learn German.
