| Aug 7, 2017 at 14:02 | comment | added | Annatar | There is no proofreading in speech. Mixing up two independently correct variations of a sentence into one incorrect one does happen occasionally. | |
| Aug 7, 2017 at 13:30 | comment | added | Em1 | @Pollitzer True. And then it's like the first one, with the initial word omitted. | |
| Aug 7, 2017 at 13:27 | comment | added | Pollitzer | I think the second one more often is: »Hab ich kein Problem mit.« | |
| Aug 7, 2017 at 13:00 | comment | added | dymanoid | @em1, see my update. It's not the first time that I've heard such a sentence. Perhaps this is more common in the southern regions, could it be? | |

| Aug 7, 2017 at 12:37 | comment | added | Em1 | The first sentence is very common. But I've never heard the second one. "Damit habe ich kein Problem" is what people usually say. | |
| Aug 7, 2017 at 12:36 | comment | added | guidot♦ | I'm not convinced, that the examples address the same issue. In the first example just a leading Das is omitted, in the second may be a leading Da. | |
| Aug 7, 2017 at 12:21 | comment | added | Annatar | It works very similar to the English "Told you so." ["Habe ich doch gesagt" is not derived from the word order of a question, but by ellipsis from the declarative sentence "Das habe ich doch gesagt."]. Very acceptable in colloquial speech, not acceptable in written texts. | |
