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)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week 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.

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

Ok then. What's the gender of Nutella?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

That wasn't covered in German class

Clearly it's dieras Nutella

That's right it's das Kleidungumnassengerät

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

It's a machine that washes, close enough

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well yeah that's a different word

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days 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.
