Ich hab dich lieb.
~I'd translate it to 'youre dear to me' but it actually means 'I love you ' in a friend way!
Du fehlst mir.
~it means 'i miss you' but the literal translation would be 'you are missing from me'

Rache is Blutwurst.
~ lit. translates to 'revenge is blood sausage' and tbh for the longest time i had no clue what it meant until i found out that that is exactly what its supposed to mean: revenge is meaningless!

the suffix -chen
~you can add it to any noun to express how cute and/or how small it is!
Pups/Pupsi
~lit. means fart (but like in a cute way) and its a word of endearment! You'd call your baby or your pet Pupsi!
