A1 Proverb カジュアル

Pech im Spiel, Glück in der Liebe.

Unlucky in cards, lucky in love.

意味

Bad luck in one area of life might mean good fortune in another.

🌍

文化的背景

Germany is the home of 'Board Game Geek' culture. Winning is respected, but being a 'guter Verlierer' (good loser) is highly valued. This phrase helps maintain social harmony. In Vienna, card games like 'Tarock' are common in cafes. This phrase is often heard among older generations playing for small stakes. Younger Germans use this ironically on dating apps like Tinder. If they have a bad day, they might post 'Pech im Spiel, also hoffentlich bald Glück in der Liebe'.

💡

Use it for small things

This is best for minor losses. Using it for a major gambling debt might sound insensitive.

⚠️

Check the relationship status

Don't say this to someone who just got divorced, as it will sound like a cruel joke.

Yes, it is a classic. While it sounds a bit 'old-fashioned', it is used ironically by all ages.

No, it can refer to sports, card games, or even the 'game of life' in a very broad sense.

Because 'Spiel' is neuter (in dem = im) and 'Liebe' is feminine (in der). Both are in the dative case.

Not really. A job interview isn't considered a 'Spiel' (game). It would sound a bit strange.
