this is so pretty i need my duin poster to be something like this

cool dutch word: fnuikend

deze fout was fnuikend voor mijn toets: this mistake was fucking terrible for my test (something like that, hard to translate)

i've genuinely never seen someone this enthusiastic about dutch, not that i'm complaining :3c

very true!!! altho i am a big enjoyer of 'houdoe' (a thing they say where i live), and 'dag dag'

(girl who guessed correctly (that's how you use them :3 schattig / shattiger / (de) schattigste))

big sad that a diminuitive of my name (finley'tje) looks kinda bad :(

but finlietje (if you dutchify it) looks pretty good i think :3

helemaal mee eens!!!

wintertje is so cute hehehe

digitigrade should become cijferegraad with all the dutching

(funnily both 'digit' and 'grade' usually translate to 'cijfer' lol)

i like that wikiwoordenboek defines the word 'editor' as (among other things) 'a computer program with which text or source code can be written, with our without markup functions', whereas a teksteditor is specifically defined as having 'many markup functions' :3

there's also 'broncode-editor' which i guess is the most fit for duin

bwaa i've been thinking about this but uhm i think it'd be better if it was 'dit' rather than 'deze', 'cause 'deze' implies it's that dune specifically? but idk how to really explain that bwaaaa

b-b-but awawawa tysmmmm >~<

de taalunie can be a little bit annoying at times, but they help standardise the language (with their groene boekje) which i suppose is pretty nice. other than that they mostly help people with the language, including in former dutch colonies! but if you really want a cool dutch language authority....

onzetaal is really cool :3

they're friendly and they have a cool magazine with cool linguistic facts in it and i love it and aaaa

they're very good little descriptors and they document everything, including speech considered archaic

they recently did some research into making the dutch language more inclusive which i think is pretty cool

instead of de (germany) it's se (sweden)

yeahhhhh
i think it's even better than in spanish or french 'cause there's a lot less that depends on it

it's only really the articles, words like 'this' (dit / deze) and 'that' (dat / die), and adjective endings that change depending on noun class, whereas in spanish and french there's a lot more (i thinK)

you could call her 'herfst', the dutch word for autumn :3

well yeah it is mostly pointless, but!!! there's cases where the article matters

for example:

de fietsen = the bikes
het fietsen = the act of biking :3 (here fietsen is a verb)

but yeah mostly it doesn't matter. at least there's only 2, rather than 3 or even more;;;; (some stupid language nazis insist there's still a difference between masculine and feminine words but no one cares)

do not believe in fokschaap propaganda!!!! it's such a stupid thing, in reality it's way simpler (if you know a bit of linguistics)

unvoiced consonant -> unvoiced ending (t)
voiced consonant -> voiced ending (d)

this works much better overall, since whenever there's an unvoiced consonant that's outside of 't fokschaap, -t should still be used

like if you loan the english 'to crash', the correct past tense form is actually 'crashte'

the Nederlandse wikiwoordenboek is zo goed >:) ik heb er zoveel obscure woorden geleerd
