i was talking with my friends about how dutch dirty talk is such an instant turn off for most of us, and i wonder if thats a dutch thing or a general non-native english speaker thing (or a just my friends thing)

tag with your language!

#i wonder if its just that dutch words somehow sound unsexy or if its like. the distance created by using another language #that sounds vague but remember that post abt how saying i love you in english is so much easier than your native language somehow? like that #polls #dutch stuff #nederlands #not necessarily ofc this is open to any non native english speaker

I’m sorry but the fact that Kerch and Ketterdam are based off 18th/17th century Nederland and they are all just dress… blegh? Unforgivable. I know you all have the notion of Dutch traditional dress being boring and bland and black but that is SO FAR from the truth especially in the 18th century like…

(A lot of this is modern but like it was even prettier and more elaborate back when it was widely worn.)

“But it doesn’t go with the ✨vibe✨ of Ketterdam

YES IT DOES 😭

Klederdracht is so diverse and so beautiful… idk just seeing what everyone is wearing in Ketterdam makes me sad because it was such a missed opportunity

#also men’s traditional clothing in parts of Nederland? it’s so stunning and elaborate and shiny and colourful life #you can’t tell me Wylan wouldn’t buy so many shirts and jackets for Jesper like 😭 #the detail about Poffertjes made me so happy by the way #My opa used to make them for me before he moved across the country #when I started dating my now ex boyfriend who is from Panama I made him poffertjes #idk as a Dutch Australian giving people random food of my homeland is my love language #This may make no sense canonically idk #it’s been a hot minute since I read the books and I’ve just recently watched the shows #this was spurred on by me seeing a photo of a Dutch man with a cane dressed in all black klederdracht #kaz would have killed that look change my mind #anyway #pls #I need better representation then just sexualised girls wearing Edam-Volendam caps pls #Shadow and bone #shadow and bone tv #Sab #kaz brekker #the v is lowercase you uncultured swines (old meme makes a return #Wyland van Eck #Netflix #Klederdracht #Dutch culture #Liesbeth? dutch posting at 9pm at night?? no one is shocked #traditional clothing #cultural clothing #Streekdracht #actually autistic #can you tell

I'm participating in this year's @a-different-stroke, a multilingual fanfic gift exchange! Does it seem fun to write in a language other than English (be that your native language or a second language)? Do you wanna receive a short fic from someone else in a non-English language you can read? Go join! The minimum word count is only 500 words so it's not that intimidating.

I will specifically be writing in Dutch for either The Magnus Archives, Rusty Quill Gaming, Wheel of Time, The Stormlight Archive, Hatchetfield, Dungeon Meshi, or the Dungeons and Dragons/TTRPG fandom at large.

As for what I'm requesting: Dutch OR German works, in any of the above fandoms OR Good Omens, Doctor Who, or "Creator's Fandom of Choice" which just means you get to write in ANY fandom you want!

Sign ups (and tag nominations) are open until next week, April 11th 2024 at the link via @a-different-stroke. (Please note that to be able to offer/request a certain fandom/pairing/language, it must first be nominated. So nominate the tags for what you wanna write/receive and wait for them to be approved before you sign up!)

#i am encouraging everyone to join ofc but specifically those with overlap in languages and fandoms so we might find a match in each other! #nederlands #deutsch #fic exchange #a different stroke 2024 #multilingual gift exchange #the magnus archives #rusty quill gaming #wheel of time #the stormlight archive #hatchetfield #dungeon meshi #dungeons and dragons #good omens #doctor who

one of things I noticed in the Netherlands and Belgium, is that menus often list bottled drink sizes as "25cl" or "50cl", and people usually say kwart liter and half liter

whereas in South Africa we always write "250ml" or "500ml" and we'd usually say twee(honderd) vyftig mil and vyfhonderd mil when speaking Afrikaans

now, it's perfectly obvious what all of those mean, like it's all the metric system. but it's precisely these small and subtle differences which I find fascinating ! and that's probably why I enjoy the Dutch language so very much. people always talk about how similar the languages are, and it's true. if communicating is your only goal then they're almost perfectly intelligible. the classic example is wandel[en] which in Dutch means "to walk", but in Afrikaans means "to take a leisurely stroll". if communicating is all you care about, that distinction is irrelevant. the person is going on foot. but — if you're into languages and linguistics or poetry, then that's a huge difference !! (this example might actually work better in Flemish than Hollandic ? but that just adds a whole extra layer of excitement to things)

I find that so much more interesting and rich than the super obvious differences, like how a "receipt" is bonnetje in Dutch and strokie in Afrikaans. or even the false friends like the word aardig, which means "friendly, nice" in Dutch, but "weird, unpleasant" in Afrikaans. because the subtle ones can slip by you unnoticed

#afrikaansnederlands #afrikaans #langblr #dutch #nederlands #I hate the word bonnetje by the way I was so brave about hearing it after every purchase #I also hate favoriet and lievelings because they just sound like French and German loans #just say gunsteling #always trips me up

Using a patchwork homemade pronunciation guide

CAPS indicate stressed syllables

[ɛy] = like vowel sound in Australian "day"

[ɣ] = guttural "g/ch" sound like in Scottish "loch"

[⟨ʀ⟩]= uvular trilled "r"

[ɛr] = like American "air"

[r'] = tapped or flapped "r"

[(n)] = regularly dropped "n" sound

[k'] = voiced "k" sound, almost its own syllable

[ø] = like vowel sound in British "hurl"

#I'm neither a linguist nor a native speaker so i apologize for my likely inaccurate pronunciations #dutch #nederlands

Het is echt zo’n dag vandaag

#important weather posts #k3 #i made an original post #nederlands #my colleague was like this isn’t going my way this isn’t and this annoys me #but at least the sun is shining so I’m actually not annoyed #sadly he doesn’t really speak Dutch so he won’t appreciate this song

Welp, I bought that expensive book about Dutch traditional clothing anyway. I saw it in my local bookstore, and it was the only copy of it in their store 😇

#I am going to justify this purchase by saying that I supported my local bookstore by buying it #And my mom wanted the book as well so we split the cost #Dutch #Nederland #The Netherlands #Holland #Traditional clothing #klederdracht
