Abandono por causa da anarquia e desleixo que aqui reina

So very much agreed. Even your specific example fits.

 

plattegrond

 

But that's a silly word. And 'kaart' doesn't really fit I think (well, it does I guess, but it reminds me of treasure maps ).

Beside, everyone I know uses 'map' too. It might as well be Dutch by now.

 

I know jongen.

/me is multilingual genius.

 

Nem értem.

Hogy van?

 

Not sure why, but somehow Dutch and German sound nearly the same

 

NEIN

 

DOCH!

 

Maybe ein bisschen.

 

That's because they kind of are (although I've been told Dutch sounds, to an English speaker, as English with very weird phrases if you hear it as background noise, instead of actively listening - no idea if this is true though).

If you know one language, you can easily understand some phrases from the other language. Same goes with Norwegian and such to a lesser extent.

 

Habe ich doch gesagt
For those who don't understand that: That's what I said

 

Ich glaube es nicht. Hast du Beweis?

Ik geloof het niet. Heb je bewijs?

 

Du hast es gerade bewiesen/You just prooved it

 

Sprecht nicht mehr von diesen giftigen Lügen!

And while that would be a 'normal' phrase in English, it sounds utterly silly in Dutch (and, I suppose, German?). Also, that sentence is probably wrong, but hey, I dropped German the moment I could in favour of a more useful subject.

 

Just saying, it actually is a correct german sentence, yet it even makes sense, only that it should be "diesen giftigen Lügen" since it's Plural....meh, german gramatic was always difficulty, and it will be always difficulty

 

Mehr Lügen, ich sehe? Ich habe nie 'diese' geschrieben, es war immer 'diesen'! Ich bin unfehlbar!

Yes, I admit, I Google'd 'unfehlbar', but I could have guessed.

 

yet, you made another mistake, it should be "nie", not "nimmer". "nimmer" is in english "never". Nimmer is used in terms that won't do something again. Nie is used in terms like you would never to dat again.

 

Ok, fine, have it your way, savage Hun!

I yield. Please, have mercy on my soul.

 

Do you want to speak English?

English translation: Do you want to speak English?

 

Just a question out of curiousity: Why are we still posting on this thread from Ranger!?
