Swedish guy tries to sell furniture in GermanyWho was in the wrong here?
>>220844138The German was right
if only the German also applied the same for the rest of his country
>>220844138The Swede won as the German caved and spoke English
The German guy was right. The whole point of having a German group is to communicate in German. There are plenty of English-language groups out there but the Swedish guy was a greedy nigger that didn't respect basic cortesy.
>>220844138The Swede was right by virtue of being Swedish
>>220844195The point of a german group is more likely that you are buying and selling furniture to people living in Germany as opposed to France, Sweden or Italy, its about location not language
should have spoken turkish
>>220844216You have DESTROYED that kraut with facts and logic
>>220844216I think you don't understand how expat and community facebook groups work on meta since you have never lived abroad in a foreign country apparently. This might come as a shock to you but there also are Spanish language groups in foreign cities and if you post offers in other languages on them you get kicked and banned as well.
>>220844274He has DESTROYED you with facts and logic
>>220844241he is completely wrong see >>220844274
>>220844292He is factually and morally correct by virtue of being Swedish
>>220844138A bit rude but also kinda based
>>220844138Holy based German
>>220844138That German is getting too uppityShould be preemptively jailed for antisemitism
>>220844312many are saying this!
>>220844274It's a German group, not a German-speaking group THOUGH.
>>220844274Why would you be selling furni on a an expat group?You're right ive never been in such group im just confused why you'd limit your sales to expats
The German was right and should dominate the twink Swede in his pink rosenhole
>>220844354gay ass nigga fuck out of my country
>>220844330>Why would you be selling furni on a an expat group?It doesn't make any sense. The Swedish guy was right and the German guy was wrong. Especially considering that he can speak English.>>220844354Go back to your desert shithole loser.
>>220844354Please visit Germany
>>220844370>The Swedish guy was right and the German guy was wrongThat's what I have been saying all along!
>>220844365It's cute that you're writing and stuff, but daddy's here now, so get down on your knees and worship the cock, slut!
>>220844397This is what Europe is all about, thirdies could never
>>220844178Applied what?
>>220844417He doesn't know, he requires additional information!!
>>220844397ja jäklar jonte
>>220844438German families are so wholesome
>>220844138Germs apparently all know English but any time I try to message one on ebay they're always incredibly fucking rude about it.
>>220844354bög
>>220844456German humility prevents us from speaking English better than a native speaker
>>220844138German guy is right but he's being a dick about it. I say this as an immigrant myself. I don't understand why the Swedish guy is insisting on English. Even if you don't know a lick of German it isn't hard to use a translator.
>>220844330What do you mean by 'limit'? Why wouldn't you try to sell used furniture in groups that are full people that are constantly moving and need new furniture? You seem to be very bad at drawing rational conclusions.
>>220844438Far med gubbnäven i ditt jordgubbshål
>>220844479>What do you mean by 'limit'?He requires additional information still!!
>>220844479So only expats buy furniture? What is rational about that assumption?
>>220844138The kraut is wrong because he is the one asking to buy, and national/linguistic parochialism must be set aside when it comes to commerce, that’s how civilization has been working for millennia
>>220844544>The kraut is wrongThat's what I have been saying all along!!
>>220844138Swede shocked!Schlander rocks!!
>>220844514I want to rearrange your furniture with my cock
>>220844544Very based take tbqh
>>220844562LOL
the swede could have just used an AI translator
>>220844579so could have the german
>>220844514No but those groups have the highest concentration of people that are constantly moving and low on budget. Do you always need something spelled out for you three times until you understand it?
>>220844579>just translate the language of angels into the language of satan, bro!
>>220844593>concentration of peopleWhen a German speaks of concentration, the camp isn't far!
>>220844477Automatic translations can be unreliable in the context of a sale and can lead to unpleasant outcomes (item not delivered at the right place, etc.), it is almost always better to butcher a foreign language IMO
>>220844544Luxembourg is not a civilization. It was a rural backwater that polished German horse cocks for centuries before it was elevated into sentience by the European Union.
>>220844593When are you going to spell out for me how the proportion of expats are not tiny compared to regular permanents?
>>220844589the swede is the one who didn't understand what was being said
>>220844630When it comes to facebook groups? Absolutely not. No one except expats use facebook groups here.
>>220844138He on the debate
>>220844639the german was the one who refused to adapt and the one who messaged first
>>220844619thief
>>220844138holy shit it's real
>>220844649Then why are there German groups if they don't use it?
>>220844704Because foreigners in Germany speak and have to speak German in Germany to survive. It's not a non-country like Finland where no-one learns the local language or has given up on it.
Life is too short to learn German!
>>220844330Probably, a group where prople are moving in and out of the area he's living in, it's the perfect place for selling or buying these kind of things.
>>220844759>moving in and outLike a penis!
>>220844738Why would expats speak German to each other if they have their own expat groups? You're not making much sense and it feels like you're desperately making stuff up to be right.
>>220844608>>220844781>>220844748
>>220844825Because they often don't speak fucking English, you idiot. Yes, among certain sections of expats German is the fucking lingua franca not English, and German is the first foreign langauge many of those people. Holy fuck, are you people fucking retarded? Have your brain been utterly pozzed by yankee culture?
>>220844138I thought Germans were good at business
Germans should do that here too when zoomers drop English phrases because they think it makes them sound le cool
>>220844909Zoomers do that too IN GERMANY
>>220844941The youth are a global malady
>>220844178Halt deine Fresse
Bavarianon du musst dir endlich eine beschissene Arbeit finden
>>220845011:D
>>220844616>Automatic translations can be unreliable in the context of a sale and can lead to unpleasant outcomes (item not delivered at the right place, etc.)Bullshit. "Is this item still available", "please deliver it to this address" etc. are all extremely simple phrases, and very easily translated with AI. When I first arrived in Germany I furnished my entire flat this way with no problems whatsoever.
>>220844138the german was in the right, ausländer raus.
>>220845055>I furnished my entire flatOn the taypayer's dime!
>>220844138Literally turned into Hitler. Never trust a germ
>>220845096even if that was true, it was dirt cheap stuff off ebay Kleinanzeigen. Also>dime
>>220844138he could've used google translate lolpeople do this here you can email people in english and they reply in german and you both just translate what you get
>>220845125>the german taxpayer refused to pay for a poggenpohl kitchen, i suffer!
>>220845055>extremely simple phrases, and very easily translated with AIMaybe with Indo-European languages that are already very close to each other and simple to translate but AI still has trouble translating even simple stuff correctly between entirely different language groups the language models aren't originally made in.
>>220844138Lingua franca fucktardsUse google translate if you want a cheap washing machine. It's one thing if the german was selling and the swede was bothering him, but since the swede is the seller, he dictates the terms. If the swede was desperate to sell it then he would've used google translate himself.If the german didn't want to translate then he should've ghosted him instead of throwing a hissy fit. The swede is also a fag for screenshotting and posting the conversation publicly.
>>220844619I’m not a Luxembourger so I don’t care lol>>220845055It really depends on the situation and on the other person.In French, for example, the sentence "c’est 50 euros fdp compris" can be translated as "that’s 50 euros, shipping included" or as "that’s 50 euros, okay, son of a whore?". Better double check that translation.
>>220845148but I am German taxpayer. Or at least, I live in Germany and pay taxes to the German government.
>>220844274Everyone who is a member of groups like that should be given a free lift to the airport to go back to the country they prefer so much.
>>220845259>Better double check that translationThat's why you tell the person you're using a translation service and ask them to avoid using hard to translate terminology
>>220845301>terminologyYou misspelled trannology!
>>220844738Lmao, its so obvious you dont interact with foreigners. They all come over in groups. They never learn german. They literally find dentists and doctors who spesk their language so they dont have to speak german
>>220844856
>be me>be in Amsterdam>people address me in English>respond in Dutch>they either: do the same, or are a foreigner>keep speaking Dutch in the latter situationits based
>>220847789>Dutch people greet other Dutch people in EnglishGrim
>>220847876yeah i tried to use dutch there which i spent effort learning and they all just default to english
>>220847876bro Amsterdam is like 20% Dutch dutch and 40% white.
>>220848033Grim
>>220848053they voted for this
>>220848110They did notPoliticians absolutely overstepped or outright ignored their mandates
>>220848139bro Amsterdam did vote for it
