Just because NL has the worlds best bike infrastructure does not make them a "good" country. This is the home of Shell, remember. Also they seem far too happy with their colonialist history.

And their odd love for blackface.

And the chuds defend it saying "uhhhm akshully it's just culture it has nothing to do with racism :smuglord: "

cw racismA few years ago r/thenetherlands had a cultural exchange with r/indonesia and the thread in r/indonesia was full of GEKOLONISEERT jokes.

The bike infrastructure has DUTCH people riding it, therefore it can't be good

Unlimited Car centric urban design on the Dutch

I rode on it once, ngl, even with all the Dutch people it's fucking amazing to cycle on. Everyone deserves to be able to have a cycling holiday in the Netherlands to see what's been taken from them.

Wat in de neuk is een cuckstoel? Vraag het voor een vriend.

uhh in deze context is 't een stoel op de trein die op zichzelf staat tegenover twee andere stoelen

Ik ben duidelijk niet op de hoogte van de laatste mode in Nederlandse memen.

I love your language so so much and I don't mean that in a mean way it's actually super cool that our languages are so similar (but also very funny)

[-] PigPoopBallsDotJPG@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

I love it when I notice similarities in languages I have no fluency in.

[-] Aradina@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Right? Its so cool

I don't necessarily like jokes about how Dutch is an "unserious language" — I think this is ultimately kind of problematic joke to make, even though the Dutch absolutely do deserve to get made fun of — however I would be lying if I said that I have never in my life looked at or heard Dutch and just gone

Does most base-languages for alienspeak come from Nederlandse?

[-] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 month ago

English does have a lot of Dutch and French influences. But most European languages come from some ancient indo-european root. Western European languages also have shared influences from Latin, the result of Roman inperialism.

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Oh god, we're going to feel anglo imperialism for years to come.

[-] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 month ago

More like centuries. I mean, even the Romans never ended up colonising the entire world. And still roman influence is felt across Europe for millenia after it stopped being a relevant geopolitical player.

As a Dutch speaker, I'm always shocked by how many people on this forum speak Dutch, it's like not that popular of a language... but I agree profoundly unserious please.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago
[-] ch1l@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

I learned Dutch in a post-modern ironic way though, not a utilitarian euro-boo cringe way. Please spare me, I do not claim those folks.

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

Some of the jokes are getting kinda racist ngl. I'll tell myself that's it's just dutch users making fun of their own language

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Can someone translate that?

[-] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The 'cuck chair' meme is a textbook example of removed. It shouldn't be common knowledge what a cuck or cuck chair is.

Call us nerds, chudjacks [sic] or whatever else, but it's the truth.

e: forgot that word gets caught by the slur filter (rosa-salute), but it's cognate so it should be clear in Dutch already

[-] autism_2@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

does English sound funny to the dutch?

[-] Shelena@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago

Not really. Most of us start learning it in elementary school, so you kind of grow up with it.
