You don't really need an "i" in shest'.
All the other transliterations are on point though.

But then it no longer sounds like the German word for '(he/she/it) shits'!

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Yeah, but sh works sorta like sch and the s in that position is pronounced like a ß.

From my limited understanding of German phonemes, you just said "u wot miss?" or something similar. The "i" is my own addition :P

ß is basically the Parseltongue letter. Try listening to a crowd of Germans speaking in unison: The 's' sounds will stand out very clearly. It's a very Slytherin language that way.

The pronunciation I was taught had an "i" sound in it, I feel. Eh.

Is there a word that combines comedy with tragedy and farce?
Heiterverzweiflung. Not a legit German word so much as something a friend and I made up in German class once. "Carefree despair". When life is so fucked that you can't stop laughing.

My up and down arrow keys aren't doing anything. Pressing num lock and using the number arrow keys didn't work either. In both cases, the side keys work.

Any thoughts? ???
