The guide to Dutch responses: hè hè = finally ja ja (quickly) = don't rush me ja ja (slowly) = I don't believe you ho ho = wait a minute zo zo = well well poe poe = wow, medium impressed nou nou = slightly less than medium impressed nou (stretched out) = I doubt that

We vloeken ons godverdomme helemaal de tering! Hoppetee!!😂😂👍🏻

My impression is that when someone says "boeien", he is sarcastically saying something is fascinating while actually meaning that it is boring.

Leer er ook van want ik kende curlingouders niet.

hoppatee =there you go... always positive...

Haha as a belgian i had several dutch partners... so i use "boeiuh" a lot. But they dont get it here🤣

Today I learned 'mwah' is a Dutch thing LOL

Well they said, a windmill has 4 strains, so I counted to 4 , but the 5th came, and hit me. That's the ' klap van de molen '

hoppetee, happata, hatsjikidee

Je hoeft echt niet lang te zijn om door molenwieken geraakt te worden. Ben in mijn jeugd vaak in een Hollandse poldermolen geweest. Bij een bepaalde wind draaiden deze wieken zo voor de deur (uitgang) langs.

Klap vam de molen gekregen. This is possible and did happen (and still can happen). The origin is literally what the saying says. Well, almost. When a millner is adjusting the blades to the direction of the wind he has to do this outside on the first floor of the mill. If he accidently loses his control during the proces he might be hit by the blades. Or he.just walks outside the mill on the first floor and forgot the blades were spinning already. Well usualy there is little chance of surving a hit by spinning blades, but when you do, you probably have some kind of braindamage, hence the saying. Nowadays there are lots of safety protocols, so the chance of this happening these days are small, but I can remember that during a storm the windmill I lived next to, turned rogue. The security which hold the blades in place broke, so the windmill started to work on its own. The millner had to come over and had to fix this during the storm. It ended well, but that moment safety protocols were not an option, so if he had some bad luck, he would have had a klap van de molen.

Curling is actually a heavy polished stone sent down an ice rink. I do love the idea of the term though!

Lmao im belgian and even i dont get it why they always swear with cancer. And to the last people: “Boeie” has a meaning of: “ugh ok i really dont care”

The first Dutch expression I learn from my Dutch bf is Goedverdomme hahaha

Die "jezus" kwam er grappig uit!

Deze video's blijven geweldig!

My favorite is 'Doe effe normaal!"

A Canadian friend who lives here in the Netherlands had a really hard time understanding the "ja ja" and "he he". What people meant (usually nothing) when they said it, and when he could use it. If love this series for the outside-in look it gives into my language and culture. Us swearing with diseases is really bad, we should stop that 🙊

Thanks Bart 👍

"It's a perfect way to end a discussion" :D

2:24 Godverdomme, mooi shirt man!!

Great video! Koekje van je eigen deeg is a good one, I’ll try to remember that…

Leuk zo'n spiegel voorhouden

My favorite? Dat maakt mij de pis niet lauw. "I couldn't care less" or "so what".

Nou curling ouders zijn ouders die alles regelen voor kinderen en alles wehouden. Alles moet Leuk en prettig zijn. Die kinderen mogen geen stress, geen pijn, afwijzing helemaal niets voelen. Die krijgen alles en de uitkomst is dat je op je 20ate een burnout hebt, niet tegen tegen spraak kan of tegenslag, en zelf niets kunt oplossen.

@1:40 well someone was standing in front of the windmill and got hit by the vanes and then never was the same again

Altijd grappig dit!

It looks like the 'mmmm' the girl talks about at 2.46 is about food. Some dutch people only like their own food but when they try other people's food they don't want to offend you. And they might need another minute to start appreciating the flavours of foreigner's foods. Just watch how much they eat of each dish 🤭 Usually if you want to impress the dutch 'schoonouders' make 1 blend tasting dish and make a nice sweet dessert. Ofcourse you can ask your lover what the parents like. Some dutch people actually prefer tasting different kind of (spicy) authentic food.

Goet gedaan

"Klap van de molen" is not that strange. The blades are almost to the ground. And this is not limited to the Netherlands. Don Quixote fought windmills in Spain.

fun fact: godverdome is actually a shorter version of "god verdoem mij" which translates to "God damn me" or god damn

2:03 Hey, that's my name!

I like the english saying, in dutch? -- "wat rondgaat, komt rond". (What goes around, comes around) It means karma is going to come around and hurt you if you hurt somebody.

3:20 schandalig toch. Dat is dan hoe mensen een taal oppikken.

The wind mill one is actually because the country was filled with those things, they used to be everywhere. So if you would do something incredibly stupid (not say something stupid, thats another thing) then you could hear that. It's usually from adults towards kids however, it's more rare to see adults to say that to another adult. If it does happen, it's usually an older person saying it to a younger person. Saying 'chips; instead is more a Dutch humor thing that somehow got stuck and stayed. If you don't want to say 'sh**' you could change it to 'chips', chips in turn is potato chips. It's a word funny play mostly. 'Boeie' is pretty much saying 'this is not interesting' or 'I don't care'.

"maak maar je borst maar nat "toen ik dit voor het eerst hoorde van mijn collega ,kijk ik direct naar mijn borsten 😂 maar de bedoeling dat ga maar hard werken of breid zich voor hard werken 😅

My favourite dutch expression is 'gooin de kont tegen de krib' , to throw your arse against the manger, ie to be stubborn and bloody minded. The kind of person who may be ' de vreemde eend in de bijt' , the strange duck in the ice hole. As for using illnesses as swearwords, it's typhus and teering (tuberculosis) that are really taboo.

@2:55 no mwoah is "neither good nor bad"

Did you get hit by the windmill. Some people who operate the windmill, change the settings, change the covers when the storm comes etc. They have to watch out to not get hit. Normal people won't get hit but these people they can have serious headproblems. Also windmill operaters can survive a small 'tik from the windmolen' without braindamage. 😅

Hoppetee = hupsakee.(hupsakeetje in Rotterdam)

EEN KOEKJE VAN EIGEN DEEG

@2:45 mmmm is very clear; it means.... welll no and theres multiple reasons why , however this is neither the time nor place, and you are also not the person to go into depth with on this subject as you are just asking because you want to be polite and not actually asking a question.... these expressions stem from that we tend to genuinely anwser questions, but we are also aware most people arnt actually asking "what my opinion on the weather is" so to say

Krijg de kanker is the most terrfying insult ive ever heard. To my worst enemy i could not wish such a thing. Fortunately, some dutch people told me they are also shocked by this expression and never use it.

3:09 dutch people who want to make their cursing less vulgare say that a lot

I’m Dutch

Curling isn't tossing a flat disc, it's sliding a large chunk of granite across the ice. I've always thought that curling was more of a Scottish sport. But then again, it wouldn't surprise me if there were some Dutch people who have an enthusiasm for curling, as there are at least two bagpipe and drum bands in the Netherlands, one based in Hilversum, the other in Tilburg.

I'd say 'boeie' means that you just don't care about something. Like 'dat boeit me niet' (that doesn't interest me).

Curlingouders ???

That's why I love the greeks, they advice me, to lose my watch

Instead of sh!t we say sjips

Ja nee, moet wel op tijd thuis zijn

boeie

boeie = whatever

Was weer boeiend! Alleen jammer van dat vloeken ! 😔, dat is wat veel nederlanders doen….ik vind het heel kwetsend en verdrietig. Nederlands leren is leuk, maar vloeken….een heel slechte uitvinding. Lieve mensen succes met Nederlands leren, maar alsjeblieft neem dat vloeken niet over 🙏💪

boeien = (who) cares?

Dat die Filipina's, uit een land waar Engels de tweede taal is, moesten vragen of gvd een 'bad word' was. Zover is die vloek toch niet van de Engelse versie verwijderd? Nee, "een bakkie doen" is niet iets wat alle Nederlanders zeggen. Ik hoor het nooit in mijn omgeving.
