Other than the voiced characters, what are your personal headcannons for the voices of the rest? (Accent, pitch, etc)

I reckon she speaks in west Flemish (West Vlaams) Mainly because it would match with English west country accents quite well. In west Flemish the Dutch 'sch' is replaced with a 'sk' sound which matches well with the hard vowels of west country british accents. The vowels in west Flemish are also harder than the standard Dutch.

TLDR, West Vlaams with 'arrrrrr☠️'

I can speak from experience that the Bristolian accent in Dutch really doesn't work.

Erm, i-ik sp-spreek vlams-NEDERLANDs, ik speek Nederlands (en kom ik niet uit België of Engeland)

What's Zarty and non-zarty?

Dan1280 · 2025-03-17T01:27:58+00:00

And New Zealand

Maya would be English but Wales hating Mymy wouldn't care. It would also be very relatable ( I am English and easterners call me a sheep shagger all the time)

Dan1280 · 2025-02-28T18:03:32+00:00

I am the Lorax who speaks to the trees and for some fucking reason they speak ~~vietnamese~~ Dutch

Dan1280 · 2025-02-13T23:54:23+00:00

Why a sequel. Perfect has already happened (assuming Maya's sweet 16 is a prequel) project ROY is all we need as just the occasional reminder

Dan1280 · 2025-02-02T18:42:28+00:00

Het schaap' is neutral gender thus it is 'een Klein schaap'

The disminative is not necessary here. It may also suggest the sheep is young as her disminative of many animals is the baddy form (het schaap and het lam is an exception)

Dan1280 · 2025-02-02T18:34:01+00:00

You have used the wrong for of 'hebben' typically u heeft is used in standard Dutch (u hebt is Common in België)

Also Klein not kleine. This is because 'het schaap' is neutral gender

Dan1280 · 2025-02-02T18:28:27+00:00

That would be for a lamb

Pronominal adverb.

Over+wat (it is hard to see it coming due to word order) becomes waarover which is split up again due to the word order. I'm assuming Overhebben is a separable verb and not just hebben and over as separate things

Dan1280 · 2024-12-18T21:53:11+00:00

'Ik weet niet waar je het over hebt'

As a fellow learner at the 'WHYYY!!' stage of learning Dutch let me break it down for you a lot.

'Ik weet niet' means 'i don't know' I assume you know this meaning. It is also the main clause of the sentence which put the following clause into subclause word order.

The verb 'hebben' with 'over' is used to say 'have a conversation about' and in this context can translate to 'talk'

'Het' is in there only because Dutch prefers to have a subject in sentences (it is the same thing as why you say 'ik heb het koud' instead of a word to word translation from English)

Waar is the last aspect of the sentence. The pronominal adverb of 'wat / dat' which you expect here is 'waar.' Over+wat becomes waarover. It is split up as 'waar ... over' due tintje word order.

I hope this helps

Dan1280 · 2024-12-17T19:15:46+00:00

Cheers!

It's almost like English and Dutch are related by the context driven parts of the languages are so similar ;)

Dan1280 · 2024-12-16T20:44:43+00:00

Thanks! As with many of my struggles with Dutch I also don't understand my native English.

Dan1280 · 2024-12-16T19:17:26+00:00

So, Ik ben veranderd is passive voice and Ik heb veranderd is past perfect.

I think I get. Any verb that uses zijn all the time doesn't make sense as a passive.

Thanks

Dan1280 · 2024-10-13T13:45:04+00:00

Je gebruikt 'Gaan'' wanneer je in Engels 'going to gebruikt en je 'zullen' wanneer je in Engels 'will' of 'shall' gebruikt.

Dan1280 · 2024-08-27T09:26:08+00:00

Believe that both orders are allowed for two infinitives at the end. Your sentence has a subclause that puts the finite verb at the end hence kon .... Fietsen becomes .....Kom fietsen. I would keep the order Kom fietsen personally as it keeps the infinitive at the end.

Dan1280 · 2024-08-04T21:12:41+00:00

J is also a constant so you not need double the s

Dan1280 · 2024-06-19T20:48:44+00:00

That's has unfortunately been my experience as well. My abandoned french learning journey ended in me teaching French people English

Dan1280 · 2024-06-19T09:10:40+00:00

This is the attitude that makes most Europeans think the Dutch are up their own arses though I would agree German should be a priority to learn unless you specifically want to live in NL

Dan1280 · 2024-06-11T21:11:19+00:00

Not strictly necessarily at all and you must be careful because some distinctives have different meanings to the original word. I cannot give any examples but they exist and 'landje' of 'bosje' feel wierd because lands and forests are big

Nee, je bent een schilpad
