What's REALLY funny, is listening to Dutch people speak English.

Or should I say... "ssshpeek Englissshh"

[/ QUOTE ]

That are only who did not have English lessons since Middle school, like most of our government officials

I am so ashamed when I see those guys trying to speak English...

[/ QUOTE ]

Should have a word with my buddy as well then...

Oooh, if he reads this, I'm sooooooooo dead! Though he IS Frisian... Maybe that's why?

[/ QUOTE ]Frisian?
They have been fighting for their own language a long time even

He shouldn't kill. He'd probably make you Fierljep..

OK, yes I did know that. Loved den Bosch. But the beach at den Haag is still refered to as 's-Gravenhage isn't it?

[/ QUOTE ]
No, that is scheveningen

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah... Got slightly confused.

and orange juice is also very nice. And easy to say in dutch.

[/ QUOTE ]Foreigners tend to spit a lot doing so though

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Oh, and I found 's-Hertogenbosch harder to get my tongue around.

[/ QUOTE ]
easy: Den Bosch

Like 's-gravenhage.. its DEN HAAG. Stupid old dutch.

[/ QUOTE ]

OK, yes I did know that. Loved den Bosch. But the beach at den Haag is still refered to as 's-Gravenhage isn't it?

[/ QUOTE ]
True, Scheveningen is part of The Hague, but don't tell the residents that..
Both Den Bosch and Den Haag have similar backgrounds in origin, but we got lazy and these newer names, well, they're less hard on foreigners

Now, about the G-sound (SOUND), I never quite understood how a nation of Germans with horrific words like Schmetterling (butterfly) have trouble making that sound..

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, wish I had mastered reading and writing dutch. Can speak it OK. Admitidly my vocab has slipped in the 10 years since I learnt it but my accent is still OK. Really must try and get back into it.

Oh, and I found 's-Hertogenbosch harder to get my tongue around.

[/ QUOTE ]You'd need a pretty damn long tongue too

Another word people stare at wide-eyed:

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
But then, I'm always fascinated to hear any english speaking person try and pronounce Scheveningen

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, that one's easy.

[/ QUOTE ]

But that was a Dutch guy saying.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sounded more like someone sneezing

[/ QUOTE ]
Actually my scottish friend once told me that closest to it comes a little sentence in english of which I'm sure the last word will get censored as it's not a friendly word towards black people. And no, I do not discriminate, it makes for a close to real version of 'Scheveningen':
Shave a <you fill it in..> and then at rather high speed.

Friend of mine actually HEARD that when someone said it to him for the first time and he just asked '[censored]? are you out of your mind?'

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I'd pronounce it as "over dude like"

[/ QUOTE ]
Very very close.

However, ui is something english doesnt have as prononc..pronouncat.pronounch... 'sound'.

My ex-gf actualy tried to learn dutch, its one of the hardest, if not the hardest, languages to learn. Like the saying: its double dutch to me.

[/ QUOTE ]Okay, pronounciation aside, I do agree that dutch is one of the harder languages to learn and speak. But, what startled me is that you too have tried and teach a girlfriend to speak dutch, which led to her being an ex-girlfriend now.. Apparently the language IS that hard..

Most fun I had though was when a friend of mine tried to do so, but have you EVER heard a scotsman try and speak dutch?

[ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]

Now only if I could here you pronounce "overduidelijk"

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd pronounce it as "over dude like"

[/ QUOTE ]

You're clearly wrong...

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm right to myself

[/ QUOTE ]
Actually I think it's EXACTLY that which we wouldn't mind hearing
But then, I'm always fascinated to hear any english speaking person try and pronounce Scheveningen

[ QUOTE ]
What are you on about? She was right on the nose! It really was a story about a werewolf wearing a hat that was pulled over its eyes down too far so it nearly stepped on my foot after which I asked the case cop in a dialect he'd understand to breeze him to the tide!

[/ QUOTE ]
So that is what i am uh? A case cop?

I like the name

Zou ze het snappen: Gouden meisje?

[/ QUOTE ]Aren't we all? Well, except for True of course. They have the better beer though

Ik denk dat ze die wel vlot door heeft, vooral het eerste woord lijkt teveel op het engelse
Maar ze doet wel heel erg haar best om er iets van te maken, als we niet oppassen leren we haar nog nederlands.. dat zou toch een beet in a jamjar zijn

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Ugh,doet me denken aan een 'pijltjesschieter' die ik laatst tegenkwam op Union. Waarom doen Nederlanders dat eigenlijk? in elk spel dat ik speel maken Nederlanders er altijd een sport van om met de meest idiote namen rond te lopen. veel meer dan elke andere nationaliteit.

P.S.: *zingt* Vlaanderen boven!

Moet je voor de grap eens op 'dutchbane' wow gaan kijken, daar is het echt zielig. En waarom? Goeie vraag, gebrek aan inspiratie ofzo?

Mijn fout, maar ik zal opletten in het vervolg
En die namen zijn wel ernstig ja.. Ik loop in het spel zelf tenminste nog rond (soms) met een karakter met mijn boardnaam, maar die namen zijn een beetje jammer ja. Overduidelijk altijd vrij omdat je als kaaskop nederlandse woorden prima kan gebruiken, maar toch.. en dialectjes zijn zo te maken natuurlijk, al moet ik zeggen dat ik het breezah tijdperk al wel een beetje voorbij ben

[/ QUOTE ]

I guess I could make up a meaning form the words that look like English words

[/ QUOTE ]
Oh please, do try

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, "vervolg" is obviously "werewolf", and "het" is hat, or maybe "hot" - so the first part is something about a werewolf in a hat, or a hot werewolf, possibly wearing a hat.
And "Mijn fout" is either "my fault", "my foot", or "mind my foot" - perhaps the werewolf in the hat is standing too close to him?

[/ QUOTE ]
HAHHAHAHAHAHAH Serious you are damn original on that

(fout = mistake, mijn = mine/my)

Ik ben verplicht meegegaan in de breezah tijdperk, van het random hoofdletter gebruik, het 1337speek en -uh gebruik (denkuh), kan het allemaal

[/ QUOTE ]Ik kom nog een heel eind met het ge-uh en de 1337 speak, mede door overdadig gamen, maar ik moet toch nodig bijspijkeren op het gebied van breezah, maar dat is iets waarbij mijn zoon mogelijk kan gaan helpen (hoewel hij hard op weg is om een nieuwe versie van zijn vader te worden.. rockertje in hart en nieren )

Voor wat betreft namen.. Ik ben vooral moe aan het worden van mensen die allemaal besluiten dat Xx, xX, x x, x X en alle varianten ervan voor en achter je naam cool zijn. Ze zijn vooral irritant in mijn ogen

And for those that got none of that last bit.. I'm royally annoyed with every other character in game these days getting xX and all the above added in their name to look cool

Given how English spent hundreds of years happily absorbing and anglicising words from Germanic and Romantic languages (amongst others) you may find that you're not too far off.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think I probably might be

[/ QUOTE ]

Your first guess at 'mijn fout' was pretty accurate, the werewolf thing less so though.

[/ QUOTE ]
LOL!

I was actually seeing visions of people staring at monitors wide-eyed, starting to scream then run around the room tearing their hairs out and bumping into eachother because they found they had accidentally migrated the US boards to the EU boards and lost everything on the old US boards

He says that is good that the EU and US forums finaly migrate, our superior intelect can then be shown across the world!

Maaruh, het is sin, niet syn Op de US server spelen trouwens nog best wat nederlanders, jammergenoeg met echt kansloze name (zwaardmannetje, gemenerik etc). Nu alleen hopen dat de mods geen vertaler hebben gevonden die nederlands kan vertalen, anders moeten we er nog een breezah dialect tegenaangooien ook

[/ QUOTE ]

No, not a word of that

[/ QUOTE ]Surely you managed to get the word mod in there? And that there will be some dutch players already there?

[/ QUOTE ]nee, niet nutteloze nonsens, het moet wel enig inhoud hebben natuurlijk, anders lijkt het net of we alleen met onze handen op de toetsen zitten te rammen, maar ik denk dat het wel de nodige verwarring zal opwekken (of een opleving van de verschillende vertaalsites die er op internet te vinden zijn natuurlijk)..
