If you take it literally, yes, but it is usually used in a hiring context.
Thanks. I wasted a year on Duolingo and got very little idioms, just some supposedly common sayings like das is schnee von gestern, oder es kostet nur einen apfel und ein ei.
Honestly, ich_iel has done more for my understanding than Duolingo did, but it is still almost nil.
Careful, Zangendeutsch is a trap for English speakers. Like, not an intentional one, but you have to check the vocab you pick up there.
I’m still working on my die/ der/ das ‘s

suchen = to search/look for
and ch doesn't make a k sound, not even close.
Aaah, thanks, I had a hard time to figure out what is supposed to be funny here.
I'm fairly certain the German ch sound doesn't exist in English
Made even worse by the fact that depending on the word it can make two different sounds and neither of them exist in English
In some areas people pronounce an initial ch as a k, like kina instead china. But apart from that neither of the two actual ch sounds exists in English.
Und often enough, ch is pronounced (t)sh, like China, duchess, choose or Apache.
Unless you’re a Berliner, but then you have to wonder why your baked goods are talking, and why they insist on being called Pfannkuchen instead.
Well it is close, though. A velar fricative versus a velar plosive. Both unvoiced.

Must be a case of this superior sense of humor that we Germans famously do not possess.
"ch" is sometimes pronounced "k" in some languages, but then it's quite rare
After considering the issue for a while, I think people just really really want to see dicks everywhere
people just really really want to see dicks everywhere
For that, all you need to do is to turn on the TV and watch any news.
Happens often in English even if it isn't the default. Chasm and school for example.
Haaaaaa. C’mon Deutschland, its a funny phrase. We don’t need a lesson in pronunciation.
In Estonian, twelve months is kaksteist kuud Sounds like “cocks taste good”.
We’re all allowed to enjoy the penis humour.

What gets me is the potatoes that are advertised as extra big...
"Extra dick!"
Behold: Metten's "Dicke Sauerländer Bockwurst" (Thick Sauerländer Sausage - Sauerländer is an ambiguous term that means to say the sausage is from the "Sauerland" region, but a person from that region would be referred to as a Sauerländer as well)
Knowing the German pronunciation makes it not as funny. But seeing "extra dick burgers" at the store still gives me a chuckle.
Oh, this must be so funny when you are monolingual and have no idea how to pronounce German
I never knew the Germans were so open about fellation.
They’re not, but it’s the wurst kept secret in all of Europe
I should have known Germans are all about sausage.
We're sucking dick?
Aah no its german, sorry.
And like most German things, they're saying it in the most terrifying way possible.
When You speak German to a polish person he will respond with "don't shoot".
I disagree, because them still searching at least means they haven't found you yet.
Wir haben dich gefunden 👁️👁️
Delicious warm cock? Sign me up!
I wanna be suchen big dich too but my wife is not really too much into it.

The Germophiles came en masse to correct the translation. I guess they were "suchen dich", op.

There is a “20 bucks is 20 bucks” joke in here somewhere
Reminds me of Djengis Kahn - Moskau https://youtu.be/rFUloAg1iXk
Moskau, Moskau, hahahahaha!
For more musical goofiness involving Russia, check out Boney M. - Rasputin (also from Germany.)
To be fair that song is a Disco cult classic. That bassline goes hard.
