Anyone here speak Dutch?

[JeffL]

If so, got a question for you.

AFAIK, there's MarinusWA, schurem, me, and possibly Elton. And that's just the people who live(d) here.

Shoot!

I speak Afrikaans which is just close enough to Dutch to make some really embarrassing linguistic gaffes.

[XPav]

I speak Dutch at the 2-year old level!

I can swear in many different languages. German is my favorite, but dutch is actually quite easy to swear in. A short tutorial:

hoer: whore (see what I mean about easy?)
poep: shit (ie, poop)
kut: "tapir" (phoenetically close)
cak: shit (like caca)
flikker: homo (like fucker, slight deviation)
lik mein rit: kiss my ass (phoenietically close)
flikker op: fuck off (close, but flikker also means a perjoritive form of gay as above)

I know enough about the history of English to be able to read a fair bit of Dutch, as they're very close. Hell if I can speak it, though.

It's a good thing almost everyone in Amsterdam has pretty great English.

Corrections:
*kak
*lik mijn reet or (lik me reet if you go for the prevalent dialect version)

Furthermore, nobody actually uses poep or kak to swear. They just use shit like all the english speakers do. :)

It's like George Carlin's prophecy has come to pass!
