  Not knowing any German I can’t tell the difference between this being correct or your putting down “the water sloshing noise machine” with a German accent.

      (but for those curious scrollers it’s _dishes sink machine)

        it’s more of a dishes washing machine.

        while Spüle is sink, Geschirr spülen is washing dishes. spül is not a noun in this case.

  At least in my part of Austria it’s usually „der Geschirrspüler“

  • SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Well yeah that’s a different word

    source

    • pumpkinseedoil@mander.xyz ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Yes, I didn’t mean to imply that the other word wasn’t correct, just pointed it out because it means the exact same thing can be either male or female depending on which word you use.
