Hmmm.... it's NEIN, not NIEN, for "no." And NEUN for "nine." Yours doesn't make sense.

I don’t get it. Are you trying to say “nein” 11? In that case I would say 9ein11. But yes vanity plates are pointlessly cheesy in my very inconsequential opinion.

Saw it this afternoon and thought it was different. But I was always taught "I before E except after C". 🤣🤣🤣

And in words that rhyme with " neighbor." And in foreign languages.

I think most people know "nein" means "no" in German. It's more about the pronunciation of it. Play on words if you will.
I thought the plate was creative, though definitely spelled wrong.
​​I wanted to do NEIN 11 but my state won't let me for some weird reason.

Are you putting a space between the N and 1 or was that just a mistype?

Uh what? I'm not the OP if that's what you're referring to.

Edit: Do you mean for "NEIN 11?". If so, I would have put a space, yes. We can do 7 characters. I can't use any combo of it in my state.

"9ELF" would make more sense in this case, if that's allowed, and you don't mind 99.99% of people wondering if there are nine elves inside your car.

Because "Elf" is German for "Eleven".

Oh! That's kinda cute then! But that's the problem with the other German words beyond "nein". Nobody knows what they are. I didn't even know that was a German word!
