MODERATORS
There was a study posted to Lemmy recently that showed that it is easier to pronounce Dutch while being drunk.
Well, some say Dutch is just German but drunk ...
I'm Norwegian and if I'm drunk and talking with an equally drunk dutch guy, we can keep a conversation going just fine.
Of course, it might be that we're both so drunk that we think we're having a conversation.
At the end of the day, it's all in our heads anyway.
If I'm drunk and try to say "Dutch" i'll probably say German.
I'm very hard of hearing and was at a pub in the Netherlands. I Dutch guy said something to me in a noisy room and it sounded exactly like I had misheard something spoken in English.
I will try that out. If there is a study about that… on Lemmy?! It has to be true!
