Telefoon dood, wat nou?

Someone mentioned that Hitler Dood thing was actually Afrikaans, not Dutch. But yeah, poor Dutch and their notities...

[–] SteveXVII@pawb.social 5 points 4 months ago

It would be the same in Dutch.

Came here to say this

Sounds like a southerner's word for a calculator.

"Two times three? I reken that's a five."

My new speed metal band, but all the songs are actually about math. Our debut album will be Hippasus of Metapontum with the single being Mystic Discourse.

As a Dutch person, I can confirm

[–] SteveXVII@pawb.social 6 points 4 months ago

I never considered the possibility of my language being funny before I saw the memes. Except for the dutch they speak in Flanders.

[–] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 50 points 5 months ago

I wish the Dutch were real 😔

Why does Foto's have an apostrophe?

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 108 points 5 months ago

I'm not an expert but probably because it's Dutch

[–] nukul4r@feddit.de 37 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Plural of words ending with a vowel (except "e") uses the apostrophe.

[–] SanderTuit@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Only if it's a short 'e', if the pronunciation is long, you do use an apostrophe.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Gotcha, makes sense

Niet omdat het moet, maar omdat het kan

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 7 points 5 months ago (3 children)

100 hours learning Dutch in duolingo and I still had to go look this up. /smh

Don't let it go, but let it go

Is that about right?

[–] Cabslock@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago (2 children)

No, it roughly translates to

Not because i have to, but because I can

[–] Scribbd@feddit.nl 3 points 4 months ago

And the intonation matches: doing stuff for the fun of it.

Fuck duolingo, if I ever see that bird again I am going to jail for animal abuse

[–] Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They don’t give you the fun local saying we have here.

[–] LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I think my favorite one my Dutch buddy told me about was "Helaas pindakaas." If not that, I also love the insult "droplul."

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Nie omdat ek moet, maar omdat ek kan.

Expectation:

"Haha notiddies. Man, what a meme that was!"

Reality:

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

Hier ben ik dan, 1 maand later. Notities?

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 18 points 5 months ago
