Dutch is not a language. The people who "speak" it are Germans who suffered severe head injuries. The place we call "the Netherlands" is a German hospital colony where those unfortunate people can live while they recover. That's why it's flat and everyone walks or rides bicycles; their head injuries make them unfit to drive cars or to manage difficult terrain.
/s, please don't send the actual Dutch after me.
Het is te laat, je hebt de Nederlanders opgeroepen, makker. Bereid je voor op k o l o n i s a t i e.

It is too late, you summoned the Dutch, mate. Prepare to be c o l o n i s e d.
Do you implement your healthcare system in your colonies? Also how likely are the colonizers to marry the locals and produce tall offspring?
Asking for a friend.
First question: no, best we can do is force you to build dykes.
Second question: we wouldn’t actually visit you, we would hire your neighbors to subdue you.

Then again, this being Lemmy maybe you meant it as written!
Both spellings can mean wall for holding back water, and things spelled with a "y" are 20% cooler.
Bummer! Although an update to our water management infrastructure would be welcome.
Dutch one is still semi private
How does "opgeroepen" translate to "summoned"??? It's clearly "aufgerufen" - i.e. "invoked". Smh my head.
I just read it as "called up", though granted Dutch ain't my first language (or even second),
I am Belgian and live close to the border, I know plenty of them.
Whatever they are they are not german.
They have a soul, sometimes smile and have humor.
And definite proof is that when one comes into the same room as you the temperature doesn't drop significantly, also there is no detectable smell of sulfer.
Definitely not german.
The Dutch are simply swamp Germans, best left to their own ways. Much like the mountain Germans you find between Bavaria and Italy.
This makes an incredible amount of sense so I can’t imagine the Dutch understanding what you’ve written.
Time to find out if I can ban fellow admins.
Trump v Musk reenactment!
New theory: the reason the Hogeweyk concept was effectively implemented in The Netherlands is because the entire country is that concept.
"We apologize again for the dutch in the sign. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked."
A mööse once bit my sister.
But the moose got better?
To shreds, you say?
Why can I read this? I dont speak Dutch
Because Dutch is the blackout drunk bastard child of German and English. So knowing either or both of those languages helps a lot.
I actually described how dutch sounded to me to some dutch friends. I said something like, "Dutch sounds like if a German got drunk, tried learning English, and then started choking."
They told me that wasn't far off 😂
Dutch porn be like: Oh no stepbro, Im stukkie wukkie!
Binty Blease, y u ride babby traen?
Dutch language could be what English went thru to become what it is today. Maybe in a thousand years it would converge
They’re not Dutch but this sounds suspiciously like a mournful nightwish song the name of which I cannot recall

It's like the dutch sent someone to England to learn from their literary Shakespearean prowess, but the guy forgot half of what he has learnt on his way back to Holland.
