Accents are for sure different, but especially amongst themselves they use much more french influenced words (Tas koffie instead of Kop koffie and sacoche instead of handtas for example). I would say the difference is bigger then your comparison. If, as a Dutch, you talk to them you can perfectly understand them since they will adept to a more former use of Dutch.

@@MrRabbiTricky that though is true for all different dialects ... for example i as a Brabander can use sentences that will have the average North Hollander baffled without a concept of a hint of an idea what i mean by it.

@@dawnmaster68 Girl from Drenthe, snatched up by a Brabander guy. Yep totaly true. Boschenaren are far worse. ;) I have been know to sit at uncles birthday in Den Bosch, nodding yes and no and hoping I choose right. but the otherway around is the same. If I go full on Drents on them, they don't understand a thing.

@@lindaraterink6451 well i am from Den Bosch :P. But i do understands Drents, provided they don't speed up too much and don't use mnemonics i never heard before. But other than that it is sort off possible to follow most of it.

I think the Dutch play with words more comparing to Belgium, they are more loyal to their language I believe

funfact!

I have a fun fact to: Rutte en die rooie haten ons tot het bot, ze zijn verandwoordelijk voor duizenden kinderdoden (belasintingaffaire) of kinderhandel en dat puur voor misbruik en adrenochrome. Ze hebben ons land gesloopt en verkocht aan het WEF en als ze slagen zijn wij in 2030 dood en leven er nog maar 500miljoen mensen op ons bolletje.

Yet he gets hated on so much, poor guy.

Was the funniest part of this video, history teacher saying ''those are just rocks''.. pyramids just rocks in a triangle, stonehenge just rocks in a circle, moai just rocks with faces, ...

This exactly! I went like, did he just say "just rocks" to a freaking hunebed? (burrial mount) Those were build between 3350 and 3050 BC and those "just rocks" that were used weigh on average 20000 kg with the largest being about 25000 kg. ( 44092 - 55115 lb) "just rocks" bah! *mutter mutter grumble grumble*

I'm glad he wasn't my history teacher. I found it a pretty stupid remark of him. @burnone716

You might wanna read that last sentence again😀

@@koen23 you are right! 😂Had another sentence first, changed that and voilà stupid mistake was made. Corrected it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Carrots are usually white, because there is actually no need for the plant, or it's even waste, to produce any sort of pigment. I think carrots, or roots for that matter, would be purple or orange as a side effect of a colourful self-protection material (like carotene) and/or as for the cause of breeding.

@@maartenbakker8311 carots where purple, but where made orange to grow faster. Just like cale (boerenkool) originally it was puple but we made it green so there is more fotosynthese (glucose production) and therefore is grows faster and bigger. But because it grows faster is has less minerals then purple. Thats the down side of mass production

I am one of the lucky dutch people who have had to pleasure to live with an indonesian family in jakarta for a while, and visit bromo, borobodur and bali as well. What an amazing country and wonderful people! I will never forget it. Greetings and all the best wishes to you and indonesia!

@@celsus7979 oh my god you are so lucky, bro I'm indonesian and haven't visit Gunung Bromo💀💀. Really miss the homeland wish I could go back this year🇮🇩

I got up at 3 hours past midnight to climb bromo before sunrise so i could see the sun rise. It was amazing, nothing grows there, i felt like i was on the moon. And the sunrise was incredible. But it was so cold at night on top of thd mountain! Never thought i would get cold in indonesia ;) I miss indonesia too. The food! Hope you enjoy your time abroad :)

@@celsus7979 Bromo, Semeru, Rinjani, a lot of mountains to visit. I don't really know what's going on in my homeland, it's been 3 years living in Jordan. I feel like an alien here in the middle east, I wanna go back to Indonesia or at least give me holiday to visit Netherlands and the rest of Europe 😂

I hope you can go home soon man! Keep your spirit up until then!

Not for long with these WEF run politicians.

yeah, and a bunch of the "export' is imported b4 they export it again.... that's what the Port of Rotterdam is doing...

@@pietikke5598 Well, the Netherlands is more know for exporting nasty GMO stuff, though.

@@puciohenzap891 That stuff is banned in the EU. I think you are mistaken with the USA and Canada. They use insane amounts of that poison. But USA mega cooperations wanted to push their GMO crap into Europe. Also their Chlorine chicken and hormone filled meats washed in Ammonia and other poison that is banned in the EU.. So they came up with a treaty. I forget the name but after lots of protest it did not go thru. But most of those same mega corps also were in Canada so they tried again with CETA. And so far as i know they agreed to that in 2017. So maybe it has something to do with that. So that some company's found a way to ship in food from other countries give it a Dutch label and ship it to other country's. But our own farmers are insanely regulated. Don't know why anyone wants to be a farmer here anymore. But i'm glad we still have a lot of them. But a lot of them will be gone when the government gets their way. They are talking about taking their lands.

@@DataStorm1 Yes that to, but still we are a big exporter of our own. We have very fertile soil and great farmers . But if our disgusting WEF government has his way that will be over soon. They want the farmers lands now.

I do hope you get your frikandel as a 'broodje frikandel speciaal' On a bun wiyh onion, mayo and 'special' sauce Its the best!

@@celsus7979 Yes, I agree 100%.

But they use a shit ton of electricity lmao. That’s the thing that no one likes to talk about. Just like vegans trying to convince farmers and everyone else that raising cattle does more damage to the environment then growing plants lmao.

As a greenhousebuilder i can prove this message.

And songs from the old days that might ring a bell: Van Halen (Jump), Vanderberg (Burning Heart), Golden Earring (Radar Love, When a lady smiles, Another 45 miles), Herman Brood & his Wild Romance (Saturday night), George Baker Selection (Little green bag), Lucifer (House for sale), Shocking Blue (Venus)

And another funfact is that Floor Jansen lives in his country (Sweden).

And proud of all the symphonic metal bands, but what came to my mind first were Armin van Buuren (from my hometown!!), DJ Tiesto and Hardwell. Although I am not a fan of them.

​@pietervanwoezik6876 holy crap. You're a hobbit. Do you life in a hunebed?

There are some dialects within Flemish though, that are absolutely incomprehensible to anyone, Dutch and Belgian alike xD

And it's called Vlaams 👍

@@Roozyj like Limburgish that's also spoken in the lower rhine area in Germany but here it's called south lower Frankonian.

@@mr.brightside6087 Flemish is de engelse vertaling van vlaams net zoals dutch de vertaling is van nederlands

Flemmish and Dutch have exactly the same dictionary. When Flemmish speak the general Dutch they got a slightly french accent. Like the Dutch have a bit of an anglo-saxon accent. Dialects ofcourse exist, as everywhere in Europe, both in Belgium and The Netherlands.

And then there is afrikaans.

ABN hasn't been officially used since the 80's. These days the term is simply AN, Algemeen Nederlands or sometimes Standaard Nederlands.

@CAPTAIN HOOK Correct in the sense that none of those are Dutch dialects because they're not Dutch. West-Flemish, Hollandic and Brabantian on the other hand are Dutch dialects that differ significantly from Standard Dutch.

@@mormacil They ARE Dutch sublanguages, but they're called regional languages (with the exception of Frisian, which is an official (minority) language). Lower Saxon and Limburgish are regional languages, just 1 step down to that of an official language. I don't know much about Lower Saxon, but being a Limburger myself I know that the reason why Limburgish is not an official language (in comparison to Frisian, which IS an official language in the Netherlands) is that Limburgish doesn't have an Algemeen Geschreven (general written) spelling. And about Afrikaans: it's an official language in South Africa and a minority language in a small part of Namibia, which derives from Middle Dutch just like modern Dutch (or Algemeen Nederlands).

@@peterkeijsers489 No it's not, they're all Netherlandic languages but so is Dutch. To avoid confusion we generally call the family Lower Franconian instead. Perhaps you're confusing the Limburgish dialect with the Limburgish language? Those are different things. The former obviously being part of Dutch as it's a dialect of it. The latter is it's own distinct language. It's as much part of the Dutch language as Low Dietsch is.

O moet je het verpesten? Wat nuchter weer. Maar wel eerlijk. Vooruit.😊

Former Queen is Princess now....

They were different colors, white, purple, dark red

Lol I have no idea why the two countries get confused so much- Is it just because of “Sw” at the beginning?

@@coyotelong4349 There are actually three countries that get confused with each other: Switzerland, Sweden and sometimes Swaziland. I have no idea why, but it happens a lot. I used to travel a lot and it happened at least once per trip. Mostly in english speaking countries, especially in the US. I can only assume it is because of the Sw, but that's a guess only. It's kind of the same with Austria and Australia 😁

@@shanwyn Seriously?? Ugh, if it's mostly my fellow countrymen (US) that are the ones who get it mixed up, I'm SO embarrassed. I promise, we're not ALL that uneducated. The really LOUD AND STUPID ones are the ones you hear about in the news. 😳☹️

I don’t think I would’ve realized this w/o your comment n I don’t have any shame admitting it. I’m already watching a geography teacher react trying to educate myself n enjoy my time. From my experience the real loud, stupid, uneducated Americans are usually the older straight white men and or the “Karen’s.” love from America

@@celestia486 Yes! The fucking Karens and “Kens” of the US

IIRC the original color was a pale yellow.

And it's the oldest national anthem of the world

Thank you for pointing that out because it bugged me as well

Friesland is the tallest people in the Netherlands and the entire world.

Brother I am 1.37 foot tall

White asparagus is also popular in Germany. :) But yeah, carrots come in white, yellow, and purple, and now also orange. :)

I think in general, people are cool with Germany. I'm studying to become a German language teacher and a lot of people have told me they dislike German language (because of the 'harsh' sound and the difficult grammar), but I haven't heard many negative opinions on the country itself :) I personally like Germany because I've spent many holidays at the Mosel river :3

Living in the north of the netherlands i am cultrually much closer to the north gernans than i am to the south netherlands. Pass the river rhine and things become a little different. The romans stopped at the rhine and french influence was a lot bigger there too. I see a lot of similarities with the culture of northern germany and denmark Greetings!

From one pan-european brain to another😉; what's a border, really, these days? I used to live in Nijmegen and take my dog walking in Berg en Dal. There's a path there, forest left, a grass field right. No wire nothing. Path is NL, grass is DE. I like that. It should be like that everywhere and always.

@@kroon1930 well I am against segregation too !

My father's family came from Krefeld to Britain in the 19th century. We all sp-oke "German" at home as well as English. When I went to Germany in the 1970s with my husband, who had been in the British Army in Gottingen, I was told by his German friends that I was speaking Platt Deutsch, with the accent of the German /Belgian border area. .My father forgot how to speak English for the last t6 weeks of his life, and spoke Platt Deitsch instead. My own children spoke Platt Deitsch at home , but have now lost it as they were forced to learn French at school . My grand-children are going to learn Afrikaans at home in September, which according to your language expert , would be the easiest foreign language for English people to learn . The French do not even like us, so why learn their language ?

Frisian is more like danish. Mixed with saxon. Thats where they are originally from. Fun fact: in english you'll find many frisian words.

@@jochemvanderuitenbeek8324 Frisian is more like Scottish.

Its older than stonehenge.

The weird thing is Dutch is the tallest people and colonized Indonesia, the shortest country by the average at that time

It's similar with German too. It's really hard to understand a Bavarian guy for example and they even have translations for them when they show a snippet of an interview with a Bavarian. Also with German and Austrian German we kind of understand each other but it's sometimes challenging. We solved this problem by not only teaching the regional dialect but also the high - german or standard German. Is there such thing in the Netherlands too?

@@kisoschu Yes , we call it ABN algemeen beschaafd nederlands ( general civilized dutch ) Its based on the posh dialect used around Haarlem . Its a standardised dutch , up till 1947 a lot of the spelling and gramar was simular to german after 1947 it was simplified , like Mensch became mens the sch sound at the end disapeared from words. Des , Der , Den all where simplified or no longer used . A german would have no problem reading pre 1947 dutch . and visa versa.

Correct me if I’m wrong dutchies :)

@@steiner554 yeah i knew of the one in Noordlaren, i actually live close, but that's one compared to the 52 in Drenthe.

@@steiner554 Removing one and putting them in a museum doesn't really count as natural but sure you have two. I'm pretty sure the borders in 5000 bc were not really drawn yet so it really doesn't matter. (i'm half Gronings/Drents.)

@@steiner554 I was born in Borger, where the biggest one is, moved to Groningen to study and moved to Zuidlaren after.

They say they are burial mounds but as far as I know no bones were ever found or even burial goods. Educate me please if I am wrong but until I hear of such evidence they are not Graves to me. I don't know what they are otherwise maybe makeshift prisons to hold murderers who knows. Just like the piraramids they were never meant to be tombs either. Just because you can not come up with a better guess does not mean it should be taught as the truth. The truth is we just don't know because wars and the destruction of the knowledge of the conquered have left us guessing. What schools teach is not the truth but the truth of the victors. People have the tendency to destroy or obscure that which does not fit their narrative. The only reason these dolmens are there is because the church could not destroy them in the dark ages.

@@ricardotoussain In the Netherlands and especially the Drenthe region (where i'm from) the soil is acidic enough to overtime melt de remains, however we do find them with remains in Germany, also the offering we DO find inside are consistent with grave offerings. Some Hunebedden might have had different purposes though. Old Hubedden throughout the Netherlands have been destroyed and their stones used to build castles and churches, in the swampy Drenthe no one wanted to build castles and thus the Hunebedden remained preserved. I don't like arguinig on the internet but you're a troll and ignorant of real archealogy.
