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

[–] SteveXVII@pawb.social 5 points 2 years ago

It would be the same in Dutch.

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 years 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 52 points 2 years ago

I wish the Dutch were real 😔

Why does Foto's have an apostrophe?

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 109 points 2 years ago

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

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

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

[–] SanderTuit@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Gotcha, makes sense

Niet omdat het moet, maar omdat het kan

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 2 years ago (2 children)

No, it roughly translates to

Not because i have to, but because I can

[–] Scribbd@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago

A couple days before they posted this, someone posted headlines from around the world when Hitler died. All of them looked really official and then in Dutch it's "Hitler so dood" (Hitler is dead). Such a silly looking language for English speakers.
