If you don't have any Ü's available, you can substitute them with "ue", that's also what many German programmers have to do since programming with a German keyboard layout sucks.
I actually have no idea how hard English is relative to German because I haven't studied either as a language student, so I can't actually compare. It was just such an easy layup I couldn't resist.
Well, if he decides to lie down he becomes a Kühltruhe cooler chest, and therefore feminine.
But if she grows up into a walk-in cooler she becomes masculine again as a Kühlraum or begehbarer Kühlschrank.

I know he gets around, but you you didn't have to call him a schrank.
naeap@sopuli.xyz · 7 pts · 46d
Ok, I know, this is a joke, but I'm currently to dumb
Calling someone "einen Schrank" in German usually means, that he is build like a tank
But I'm really not good at making connections with different languages, so please help me out o:-)
