Comment on Do other languages have similar acronyms to 'tbh', 'imo', 'smh', etc?

IMO in German = mMn (meiner Meinung nach)
But for the most part we use the English ones

smh = iwie (irgendwie)
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
smh means shaking my head though
zyratoxx@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Lol, I always used it for “somehow” :')

I’m using none of these. But what i use almost all the time : possibly = evtl (eventuell) maybe = vllt (vielleicht) kindest regards = LG (Liebe Grüße) e.g. /for example = zB (z.B.: / zum Beispiel) (i omit the dots and colons)
zyratoxx@lemm.ee 1 year ago
True, I use those too ^^

zB = zum Beispiel = for example
usw = und so weiter = and so forth
etc = etcetera = and so forth
we love shortings too

of course; all of these are very much pre-Internet ones and don’t correspond to any Internet slang in English

Et cetera is latin and “etc” is commonly used in English and other languages as well.
