Telefoon dood, wat nou?

Notities

What's wrong with tities?!

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 months ago

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

[-] SteveXVII@pawb.social 5 points 2 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 2 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 3 months ago

I wish the Dutch were real 😔

Why does Foto's have an apostrophe?

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 108 points 3 months ago

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

[-] nukul4r@feddit.de 37 points 3 months ago

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

[-] SanderTuit@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

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

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Gotcha, makes sense

[-] Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Niet omdat het moet, maar omdat het kan

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

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 3 months ago

No, it roughly translates to

Not because i have to, but because I can

[-] Scribbd@feddit.nl 3 points 2 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 3 months ago

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

[-] LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 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."

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

Lekker met de instellingen klooien

[-] moistclump@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I only know that lekker means cool in Afrikaans and that Afrikaans is very close to Dutch. I’m not versed enough to know if this sentence is in Afrikaans or Dutch.

I also know that “the” is “die” in Afrikaans. Because I saw a book called “die bible” on someone’s table and thought it was a way cooler book than it was. With the “de” I’m back to thinking Dutch?

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago

DIE BART DIE

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 4 points 2 months ago

"Lekker" actually means tasty in Dutch, however it can be used as "enjoyable" or something in this context, kind of weird actually

[-] moistclump@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

In Afrikaans it’s like calling something “rad” or “cool”. Like “lekker mate” when someone asks how you are.

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I think rad might be a decent translation in Dutch aswell

[-] rand_alpha19@moist.catsweat.com 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

'Cause I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bub and you're not gonna reach my telefoon.
