When the only thing neuken me in my keuken is life. 😔

[-] eldain@feddit.nl 44 points 1 year ago

Kutleven!

(The Dutch attach genitals or diseases to words to turn them into swearwords. This one is often used for "shit life" but it literally means "vagina life" which I find very fitting and ironic in this context)

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 27 points 1 year ago

cunt life would be better. Even more correct: a cunt’s life , ie a very bad life.

[-] eldain@feddit.nl 10 points 1 year ago

I took into account that OP's domain is from the UK, where everybody calls each other a cunt and therefore lifes a cunt's life by default.

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Absolutely fair!

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 14 points 1 year ago

To add a few more examples:

  • zakkenwasser (sack/bollocks washer, an asshole)
  • lul-de-behanger ([mister]cock-the-wallpaperer, also translates to asshole)
  • lullen (dicking/cocking, talking nonsense)

this sounds funny bc keuken sounds like dick in swedish

[-] randomsnark@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

And kök looks like cock in English, so we've come full circle (I know it's not pronounced that way)

We used to call that a mushroom stamp.

Penalizing someone works too

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Turkey slap

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 year ago

I read this in Canadian.

"Oh yeah bud, we were just neuken in keuken all night eh?"

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

“When yer livin’ in the good ol’ American north, sometimes nucken in the keuken is the only entertainment ya have, don’tcha know?”

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Ye'll freeze ta death out here witout yer neuken bud.

[-] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 22 points 1 year ago

I am absolutely convinced that Dutch isn't a real language. The entire country just makes shit up as they go along just to fuck with the rest of us, and the the entire country is in on the joke.

[-] Goodman@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago

Makker houd een even heel gouw je grote mond.

[-] watersnipje 3 points 1 year ago

gouw

Spreek Nederlands…!

[-] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

¿Ves? Son solo un montón de sonidos tontos y todos se ríen de ello.

Nederlands regel :-)

Something that's always confused me is that here we don't pronounce numbers from left to right. So instead of hundred ninety six (100-90-6) we say honderd zes-en-negentig (100-6-90)

[-] Fox@pawb.social 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

English used to be that way as well:

Sing a song of sixpence

A pocket full of rye

Four and twenty blackbirds

Baked in a pie.

In these lyrics "four and twenty" means 24

[-] princessnorah 11 points 1 year ago

Which actually makes sense when you remember that English, before the Normans at least, was very close to dutch.

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

And it's all because they are germanic languages (at least old English is), and this is the same in German (vier und zwanzig).

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Modern English is still a Germanic language, but with a LOT of Latin and French thrown in.

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, and then we got better

[-] princessnorah 2 points 1 year ago

I really, really struggle to see how the Normans made English "better".

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

They made a successful cipher that has thwarted their enemies into perpetuity.

[-] OwenEverbinde@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ah, the same way Linux was able to thwart hackers for as long as it did.

[-] peetabix@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

I used to work in England as an export clerk for a Dutch transport company. This is the first phrase my Dutch colleges taught me.

[-] GargleBlaster@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago
[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I did an exchange program with the Netherlands once (Mgr Frencken College or something) and this sentence and a weird ass kick dance was all I learnt

I think you can add on de keukentafel?

[-] qevlarr@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm like "let's look up some jumpstyle videos on YouTube for the onlookers in this conversation" but I think it's all been deleted out of sheer cringe.

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Do you remember what it was called even? We just called it The Dutch Jump Dance but my guess it is not the native dance of your people

[-] qevlarr@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's called jumpstyle. I found this video which is pretty good (at 1:20) https://youtu.be/aja2Wlp9OD0

The other dances are also very well executed. I think jumpstyle worked so well as a fad dance is because it's easy to learn, variation is pretty basic, you can somewhat blend in if you can keep a rhythm. Whereas tectonik is fucking awesome but you look like an idiot unless you're crazy good and wayyy confident.

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Jesus those guys are amazing

[-] Rev3rze@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

If you're talking early 2000s I know exactly what dance you mean. That was a short but intense fad.

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah it was around that time and I am very certain you have the right one in mind. It ended up being the secret "I participated in the Holland exchange" dance in our school and I can still kick it

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I did it all for the neuken

[-] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Mooie meisjes, met kaas!
