lol y’all really believe Dutch is a real language

Edit: speak all the gibberish you like, you can’t fool me

It is.

Belgian is a myth though.

What about Belgian chocolate? Is it real or am I being ripped off?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Flandersization.

It started off real but now it's basically a parody of itself.

Sugary grainy praline.

Flemish or French?

There are only two things I can't stand in this world; people who are intolerant of other people's culture, and the Dutch.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Same here. Probably a shared feeling among us Dutch folk.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I too can't stand anything in this world.

Stiekem doen we gewoon alsof.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Héél stiekem, terwijl we zo heel stilletjes in ons hoofd engels praten zo.

Nederlands is een echte taal. Je kan mij alles vragen en zal reageren in het Nederlands.
