Why does Foto's have an apostrophe?
I'm not an expert but probably because it's Dutch
Plural of words ending with a vowel (except "e") uses the apostrophe.
Only if it's a short 'e', if the pronunciation is long, you do use an apostrophe.
Gotcha, makes sense
Niet omdat het moet, maar omdat het kan

They don’t give you the fun local saying we have here.
I think my favorite one my Dutch buddy told me about was "Helaas pindakaas." If not that, I also love the insult "droplul."
