In German
nice
Meaning: nice, cool (English loanword used as German slang)
Formal or informal? Casual anglicism, pronounced the English way and used especially by younger speakers. It's a direct borrowing from English, now fully adopted into casual spoken German.
Example sentences
Dasistjanice!
That's nice!
Nice,dassdukommst.
Nice that you're coming.

Common mistake
Don't pronounce it the German way (like “nee-tseh”) — it keeps the English pronunciation, just slotted into German sentences.
