That's funny, in Brazilian Portuguese 'mariposa' means 'moth', and the word for 'butterfly' is 'borboleta'. TDIL.

Zangendeutsch: Butterfliege

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (2 children)

What is zangendeutsch? Google isn't giving me much in the way of English answers

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago (3 children)

It's basically an insider from a German meme community here on lemmy. The community is called ich_iel (a translation of me_irl) and people use bad literal translations from English as a joke and call it Zangendeutsch. Butterfliege is a literal translation of butterfly but not the real translation.

TOOL was the first group of people who proved to me that innocuous german words can be made to sound like a thundering political speech filled with evil intent when in reality it's just a cake (cookie?) recipe with no eggs.

Basically yes but SCH is like SH. Also ER is often a single vowel somewhere close to U in "but".

🤨 you will probably want to ask your tutor for your money back.

"Shmatterling" is the closest sounding english approximation.
