Your penis is gross.
Mein Penis ist gross.
Wir sind nicht gleich.
Gross, wenn wahr.

I seh nix, i hΓΆr nix und i woaΓ a nix!
Can someone explain this to me?
"nix" is a German colloquial term meaning "nothing"
Thank you
It's short for "nichts"
Also, regarding the title:
"Dank" is the German singular form of "thanks".
the dank the
Or, as we say in German:
"Die DankeschΓΆns, die!" ;-)
GAR/Nix
Gtranslate gives me:
Gar: even
Sogar: even
Gleich: even
How even?!
"Sogar" is used for emphasis, as in "Even you should know this".
"Gar" is a bit special. "Gar nichts/keine" means "nothing/none at all".
"Gleich" is more commonly translated as "equal".
You're missing "Gerade", which is also "even", but only regarding integers.
Nix is a colloquial form of Nichts.
Nix = Nichts = Nothing
Gar nix = Gar nichts = Nothing at all
I remember as much from Schuldeutsch.
Now explain "even", dein Hurensohn.
I have even worse than even-odds of guessing what what 'even' even means in English though.
Huhm. You make a decent point. Entschuldigung. Dein Hurensohn.
Ooooh, "nichts." Mispelling confused me.
"Nix" is in the dictionary. It's a colloquial version of "nichts", not a misspelling...
Interesting. In my (admittedly old, paper) Germam dictionary, "Nix" is defined as male water spirit - a merman.
Da kamma nix mamh.
Ja freilich
Know you how man makes a grammatically correct question on English?
