    IMO in German = mMn (meiner Meinung nach)

    But for the most part we use the English ones

      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 quite a few other languages as well.

      smh = iwie (irgendwie)

      How r u = wg (wie geht’s)

      somebody = jmd (jemand)

      Shut up = hdf (Halt die Fresse)

      probs = wsl (wahrscheinlich)

      idk = kp (kein Plan)

      kp could also be “kein Problem” (no problem) which is why I personally prefer idk / np over kp / kp

        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)
