lol y’all really believe Dutch is a real language

Edit: speak all the gibberish you like, you can’t fool me

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It is.

Belgian is a myth though.

What about Belgian chocolate? Is it real or am I being ripped off?

[–] s_s@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Flandersization.

It started off real but now it's basically a parody of itself.

Sugary grainy praline.

[–] aksdb@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Flemish or French?

There are only two things I can't stand in this world; people who are intolerant of other people's culture, and the Dutch.

I too can't stand anything in this world.

[–] Rednax@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Same here. Probably a shared feeling among us Dutch folk.

Stiekem doen we gewoon alsof.

[–] OtherPetard@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Héél stiekem, terwijl we zo heel stilletjes in ons hoofd engels praten zo.
