I find it very funny that at the core of the anglo psyche is a very strong self loathing of their own germanic origins.

Have you seen all the shit the people of my Germanic origins have done? I'll distance myself from that as much as humanly possible thank you very much

Have you ever heard someone speaking dutch? it's like silly english.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Whenever I hear dutch I have a brief moment where I think I'm having an aneurysm and am no longer able to recognise my own language. Then I realise it's just dutch.

I was once visiting a dutch friend and I was having a Skype chat with some family in Denmark. After the chat my dutch friends goes "ghk hgk ghk. That's what you guys sound like." He thought it was very funny until I reminded him that he spoke dutch.

I knew it would be the kamelåså video. If we're talking about scandinavian language funny videos I'm much more into øresunds-visan or Osten skal svømme!

the spelling looks like a 5 year old's attempt at spelling german by ear

[-] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

That's basically what the language is I guess?

[-] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

oh yeah, it's basically a historical accident that dutch isnt just another low german dialect

[-] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

[-] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago

[-] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago

Yes, but also Honkbal is very fitting name for that game.

Norwegian rather than Dutch, but there's a grocery store chain called MENY that's advertising its single bananas with a sign that reads "SINGEL MEN LIKE GOD" — meaning "single but just as good"

I was also at the library the other day, and I couldn't help but wonder how a monolingual anglophone would react to the section signs looking like

CW homophobic slur←FАG — FАG→ — ←FАG — FАG→ — ←FАG — FАG BARN→

In other words "nonfiction" and "nonfiction, children"

And I apologize to our screenreader using comrades for any inconvenience that may have come from replacing Latin A with Cyrillic A, I was just worried that the slur filter would censor the word.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

Lmao what Dutch sounds like to English ears is what English sounds like to everybody else. Glass houses and all that

Wait until you hear about Afrikaans...

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

I've got a buddy who spent some time in southern Africa, and his Afrikaans impression always cracks me up. He says Afrikaaner men especially sound like angry vikings talking with mouthfuls of shit
