These Dutch words sound funny to foreigners!

What is your favorite word?
Write it here:

Kalt geur aug plat?😂

The chef in the muppet show didn't do the Dutch any favours!lol😅😅😅

I júst realised that the word "victim" is actually weird in Dutch. Or...funny at least.
Slachtoffer, is victim. It means slaughtersacrifice.
So you'll use that in a newspaper; 'The slaughtersacrifice of the carcrash was a 5-year old girl."

My wife finds “verrukkelijk” very strange because it means tasty but sounds as if disgusting.

And what about gehakt?

"Lekker toch?"

Try to translate "lullig" in Englisch or German...

so far, my favorite is "sinaasappelsap"... i mean, it has the word 'apple' in it, but it's orange juice, it makes me chuckle.

rhinosarous = neushoorn (nose horn)

My favourite word is bromfiets. It sounds what it is: brom brom brom fiiiets, here I am.

my favourite dutch word is : goesting

Hersenvliesontsteking as Horrific as

benign is moiee.

Swaffelen! Best word

I was taught Lekker is for only food or drink? But I hear people use it for everything here. Is that ok? 🤔

Kussensloop

A Dutch woman in Kansas taught me to speak Dutch so I could write to my pen pal in his language. My teacher came from Friesland, and I copied her pronunciation. I got to spend about three months in The Netherlands, and people kept asking how long I had lived in Friesland. I had never been there! LOL

My nephew has a German girlfriend and her Dutch teacher told her to repeat these words over and over again: KIJKEN, KUIKEN and KEUKEN. These, apparently, were very difficult vowel combinations. Difficult????? Wahahahaaha!!!

Daar komen wij gewoon uit 🤗 geen probleem. Soort wissel bediende die op het spoor aan een hendel staat te rukken.
Helder. 😁

Die eerste gast met dat baardje is keurig opgevoed.
“Lekker” heeft alleen met eten te maken.
Ja.... 🤗😇 en heerlijk, is de overtreffende trap daarvan. Maar dat terzijde. 😁
Deswegen ist darum auch “daarom” to enjoy the word a little longer.

Try to get a Thai person to say Scheveningen.
Im poss ible.

"senior citizen's home sounds a lot nicer than just a house for old people."???? Like what, the english version is literally just synonyms for old people house

Zo gauw ik Heerlijk hoorde moest ik denken aan Slijptol met zo'n "Oh heeeurlijk"

Niederländisch klingt für mich mega schön ❤️
Liebe Grüße aus Bayern

Lekker in Afrikaans gaat nog veel verder.

The American name "Aaron" has a double vowel.

Scharminkel

Lekker is also my favorite word!! I'm 4 days in on doulingo learning Dutch. So fun!!

De vraag, "Hoe laat is het", klinkt voor engelse oren als, "Who let is shit?"

Mine is “ardappel” i think that means fries or idk 💀

Bejaarden doesn't translate to old people though freely translated it would be more like elderly and in the literal sense, it implies a person that's lived a lot of years. So it would be closer to home for the aged rather than old people's home which would translate back to 'oude mensen tehuis' which would be pretty rude to say here.

Hoofdrol !

look up english word Torch and translate that and say it loud and slow with two syllables. Enjoy. good to see that google plays ball: listen to it : )

Bejaardentehuis is sowieso al geen woord meer wat gebruikt ‘mag’ worden in Nederland. Het is een verzorgingstehuis

I got a little distracted by the brazilian girl

The whole language is funny.
When I was in Maastrich once, I got ranted on by a dutch police woman and I couldn't stop but laughing.
I'm so sorry but it's true. Fortunately she was understanding.

My German husband loves it that when something new appears we Dutch invent words/names for it: Like: „De flappentap werd het slachtoffer van een plofkraak dus nu kun je daar niet Pinnen“ (The ATM fell victim to an explosion detonated by thieves, so now you can’t get money there.) Flappentap, Plofkraak, Pinnen. I would not know words for that, that are not descriptive in English or German. ATM or Geldautomat, are descriptive terms, not names,

kakkerlak.

can we use strange dutch swear words????? i know a few. can i ??? please????

Still can't get over handschoenen.

Jesus Christ, I love how literal minded my Dutchies are.

Ik ben zelf Nederlander dus ik vindt dit heel leuk om te zien

My favourite Dutch words are sneeuwpop and knuffel 🥰

Mensen in deutch means period in Norwegian 😂

Ummmmm I learn German and I'm indonesian and when I heard when some of our words are very similar with Dutch like:

Kamar(indo)
Kamer(Dutch)
Wortel(indo)
Wortel(Dutch)
Ich(German)
Ik(Dutch)

So they are all talking English?
