Haven’t got to the advanced part of Dutch-language culture yet to understand the appropriate balance of huggles and distance/irony
― Theory of Every Zing (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 18 April 2019 01:28 (seven years ago)
Depends on where you live. We don't do huggles here in West Flanders. I do though. But then I feel an outsider/buitenstaander.

A dialect word: muilen. (Lewd word for kissing. Mainly used in East Flanders)
― nathom, Saturday, 20 April 2019 10:38 (seven years ago)
That would be our Dutch “bekken”, I guess. Kissing as in French kissing, right?

Wil jij dat ik gek word?

Sorry, that was the last sentence I got from Duo.
― Theory of Every Zing (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 20 April 2019 11:24 (seven years ago)
Oh god, bekken. Ewww. That sounds awful. But yeah, french kissing.
― nathom, Sunday, 21 April 2019 05:14 (seven years ago)
Sounds weird, "wil je dat ik gek word?"

Geachte Meneer James,Met deze post wil ik aantonen dat men de eerste zin nooit mag starten met ik. Dit gezegd zijnde, beken ik een egoïste te zijn. Alles draait rond mij. Zoals we hier zeggen: "Ikke ikke ikke en de rest kan stikken."MvgNathalie

In België eten we geen pindakaas. In Nederland is het zeer populair. Ik eet liever speculaas pasta.

Waarom “IJ” in IJzeren Gordijn?

Heb je even?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IJ_(digraph)tl;dr: it’s considered one letter.(Also, it’s “DUO *heeft* me net gezegd...”)
― breastcrawl, Friday, 3 May 2019 07:22 (seven years ago)
Dankjewel!Think my verbal confusion was coming fromDUO heeft/hebt me gezegd.
― Theory of Every Zing (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 3 May 2019 11:56 (seven years ago)
In Amsterdam dialect it would be: “DUO hep me net gezegd (sounds like: gesegt), so you were sort of fine-ish anyway...
― breastcrawl, Friday, 3 May 2019 13:09 (seven years ago)
Yeah, I actually almost spelled it with a ‘t’ at the end.

Is it waar naartoe or waarnaartoe? I'd say the former.
― nathom, Sunday, 5 May 2019 18:33 (seven years ago)
DUO said the latter. Was interested in that long word, which is why I posted that.

Took a break from Dutch and am working on Greek a little bit, which is fun and interesting for various reasons I can elaborate on if you like.
