Well... we laughed at the french some time ago, but they don't wrap those funny words with normal words... They speak a different language, whereas flemish people just don't know what's dutch. That's funny.StrangeQuark wrote: The French use those words too! Why not laugh at them for a bit?
Well, they don't say hesp. ::)
But then again, neither do I.

Well, that's about cursing, swearing and insulting in Dutch... and you don't understand a thing of it ;D ;D ;D
Could be the other way around too, that people from Holland don't know what Dutch isCandy wrote: ... whereas flemish people just don't know what's dutch. That's funny.
Oh, andeh... what do you see as the correct word for hesp then? Please don't tell me you call it bacon, 'cause that's not even hesp, but spek ;D And I don't say frigo, but ijskast.
If you have two words for an object, one of which is dutch and one of which is french, and you use the french word while using a lot of other words from the dutch language, including the dutch grammar, that's wrong.Kon-Tiki wrote:Could be the other way around too, that people from Holland don't know what Dutch isCandy wrote: ... whereas flemish people just don't know what's dutch.

This topic is meant for Dutch, and not for German.Well, letz give an example about *german cursing*:

Well, i'd have to correct you here: Frisian is in fact the second official language of the Netherlands... So bilingual road signs, Frisian lessons at school, etc. in the Frisian regions...Kon-Tiki wrote: Those that speak Dutch and not Flemish have the biggest example within themselves, namely Friesland. Nobody even understands those people, but they still speak Dutch (yeahyeah, they want Friesish to become an independant language, but then again, they're fiercely patriotic over their little piece of ground)
I think it would be better I don't give my opinion about herI suspect it's Erika Terpstra...
OkayYou know, this really fascinates me... I mean that Dutch speaking people always tend to "group" on the internet. I've seen it many times on the internet: newsgroups (where they also brutally annexed some groups), private hubs and even on forums... I believe this is already the second "Dutch thread" on this particular forum...

Something that I really notice is that you do not see that all the things I've said can be applied in two ways. Not only can we laugh at you for using a weird set of words, you can laugh at us too. In the exact same way, we use their language, but with a few very weird words.Kon-Tiki wrote: What I did find a bit annoying, is that they said the language I speak is wrong, simply because it's not the same as they speak and it's categorised under the same language. The official language's built up from the dialect of Den Haag (or Utrecht, I keep messing that up) and as one dialect's different from the other and uses different words, it doesn't make it wrong, less or funny. It just makes it different from what you're used to. This means that Flemish sounding a bit different and using a few different words than our northern neighbours doesn't make us wrong and them right. It doesn't make us right and them wrong either. It just proves the official language hasn't taken over the use of dialects. Those that speak Dutch and not Flemish have the biggest example within themselves, namely Friesland. Nobody even understands those people, but they still speak Dutch (yeahyeah, they want Friesish to become an independant language, but then again, they're fiercely patriotic over their little piece of ground)
