I hope you don’t get tired from seeing my name
How would you say that you were wrong about someone/something? i once saw:
“Ich habe mich in Bezug auf dich geirrt”
Just not sure if that’s idiomatic
Yes, that’s idiomatic, but I think overall, phrasings with “getäuscht” are more common.
I saw this page and “ungerecht” but I’m still confuse about how germans say “I was wrong” or I was mistaken… or they never say it?! :)
Thank you for the help!
Hahaha, we do say it. Not as much as we should probably, but that’s universal.
– Ich habe mich geirrt.
– Ich habe mich getäuscht. (more serious contexts, especially when they include being deceived)
Wow, answer in real time. Du arbeitest zu hart! ;)
Danke
Purer Zufall :)
