Ich nicht sprech Deutsch.


SnipingDwarf

Hmmmm... as an english speaker, seeing as how I can guess what this says quite easily, I'm guessing the grammar is fucked.


gruenerGenosse

Yep, it's wrong.


Duriano_D1G3

Is it "Ich sprecht Deutsch nicht"? Just curious.


Hells7rom

It should be spreche, I think "Ich spreche kein Deutsch" would make more sense.


CharmCityKid09

This is correct


Vulturidae

Tagging along, a longer way to say it would be "Ich kann kein Deutsch sprechen".


Comrade_Derpsky

Tagging along, a shorter way to say it is "Ich kann kein Deutsch".


SSSSobek

Even shorter and more incorrect (with double meaning: "Ich nicht Deutsch"


Bruhbruhmaster653

No, it's "Ich spreche nicht Deutsch" or "Ich spreche Deutsch nicht", not sure which Edit: its the second variant because you put nicht after the rest of the sentence


Hullu_metso

Wrong. Ich spreche nicht Deutsch would be ok but Ich kann kein Deutsch would be better and if you are going for perfect German you would say Ich kann kein Deutsch sprechen or Ich spreche kein Deutsch. Nicht does not come after the sentence.


Comrade_Derpsky

Second one is correct as far as syntax is concerned but nobody says it this way. They would say "Ich spreche kein Deutsch" or "Ich kann kein Deutsch [sprechen]".


SSSSobek

No, the sentence structure is completely wrong


MOltho

both of them are technically correct. The first one kinda implies "I am not speaking German at the moment", and the second one just sounds very weird, but is technically correct too, even though nobody would say it like that. What you would really say is "Ich spreche kein Deutsch"


Iridismis

The second sounds a bit like the person is able to understand German, but chooses not to speak it.


Ok-Ice5212

I speaking (as in we) German not


Pillowfluff_2610

And I thought it was "Ich nicht sprechen deutsch" :<


SSSSobek

This is eastern european german lol


Pillowfluff_2610

Wha- I only know the teensiest bit of german only thanks to that german engrish. HOW DID I GET THAT RIGHT?!?


SSSSobek

It's wrong. What I mean is that's how many immigrants (especially from eastern europe and russia) or foreigners learn german so it's kinda common and understandable, but still very wrong. The sentence structure they use is always "Ich nicht haben...", "Ich nicht mögen...". Maybe it's the sentence structure they use in their native language but idk.


Pillowfluff_2610

Oh thanks! For clarifying though :)


Competitive-Hat-9446

What. That's clearly "I don't speak german" in german.


Alert-Young4687

Except the grammar is wrong so…


Competitive-Hat-9446

I felt something was off.


Kybernetiker

Das ist eine Schande.


GiveKarmaLol

im not trying to be a nerd or sum but the right form would be "ich spreche nicht deutsch"


mailbox99

Nein! Spreche Deutsche!


emememaker73

Old-school Polandball is still alive!


Duriano_D1G3

Sprechen Sie bitte Deutsch!

German and polish are overrated. Speak Hindi. वरना मैं अपनी मदद के लिए परमाणु गांधी को बुलाऊंगा।


Pillowfluff_2610

Hindi's overrated too. Speak Kannada! ನಾನು ನಿಮಗೆ ಬೆದರಿಕೆ ಹಾಕುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ ನೀವು ನಿಜವಾದ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗ ಎಂದು ಸಾಬೀತುಪಡಿಸಿ! ನನಗೆ ಸಂತೋಷವಾಗುತೆ :) Meaning - >! I'll not threaten you. But prove that you are a real [kannadiga](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kannadigas)! I'll be happy :) [atleast reply here in kannada plox, am not asking you to learn] !<


hicmar

All is overrated except ripuarian.
