          I didn’t even look at that part of the card, and was superbly confused for a moment. Even tried translating the words to see wtf you were talking about.

          I thought you were either being literal, or making some deep comment about, I dunno, resistance to learning a language and the weakness of my understanding or something. lol

    I love this meme. Not only because it’s a good way to practice German, it’s also an actually funny thing.

    Trying to translate Bruder muss los literally word for word is also hilarious because to me it sounds like “Bro must away” but then German isn’t my native language (neither is English, but I like to think I understand it at a slightly higher level than my A2/B1 German lol)

        I know, but los isn’t a verb unlike go. In other languages I speak, modal verbs like müssen are followed (not necessarily immediately but before the sentence is over) by the main verb in its infinitive form. E.g “ich muss gehen” would sound normal to me, but “ich muss mal” or “ich muss los” sound funny despite knowing it’s completely normal.
