minus-squareTudsamfa@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·10 个月前Mistranslation of the German Idiom “(etwas) aus dem Boden Stampfen”, to create (something) from nothing (lit. to stomp (something) out of the ground). Easy mistake for bilinguals to make, I was convinced it was an English Idiom as well until I looked it up.
