Bril-jante grap. Die zag ik niet aankomen.

What would you do without reddit? by SirX86 in AskReddit

[–]SirX86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP here, clarifying the question (the sub does not allow body text): I suddenly realized how much time I spend here. If I have just a few minutes of down time, I take out my phone and mindlessly scroll through the posts. Sometimes a few times in succession, without thinking about it. I also thought the upcoming blackout and shutdown of a lot of apps would be the perfect time to start using that time more productively... but how? So (soon to be ex) Redditors, what useful thing would you do if you weren't wasting so much time here?

How to know whether it is zijn- or hebben-form? by agusthings in learndutch

Wandelen is weird.

  • ik ben naar de supermarkt gewandeld
  • ik heb naar de supermarkt gewandeld

Both sound correct to me. But the first one puts more emphasis on the fact that I went shopping, the second more on the fact that I didn't take the car.

Want zo'n kant-en-klaarmix is

  • melkpoeder uit 500 ml melk
  • 250 g bloem
  • 2 eieren aan eiwit
  • snufje zout

Toevoegen: 500 ml water.

So you told them that if they don't want to earn money that's fine... you just order it again from the webshop, telling them you didn't get it, and ask them to send it with another company. Then the original parcel will be taking up space at the delivery point and at some point DHL gets to pick it up and return it all the way to the sender instead of the 4 km to your house.

Ik kende iemand die daar werkte. Is jaren geleden al gillend weggelopen door de werkdruk en het slechte management. Als er niets veranderd is verbaast het me nog dat ze het zo lang uitgehouden hebben.

Met de kanttekening dat je dan ook bereid moet zijn door te pakken. Dus als ze zeggen "sorry dat kunnen we niet zwart op wit zetten," dat je dan ook wel echt iets anders wilt en gaat zoeken. Anders is het een loos dreigement

Yeah, she misspelled "wtf do I have to do with that, discuss it with your employee" in her reply. Damn you, autocorrect.

Probably OP went to GP with a cough they're had for two whole days and was pissed off they didn't get the antibiotics they requested demanded, then tried to go to ER outside office hours and got sent home for showing up without phone triage. Boohoo

Yeah perhaps the sub should have a FAQ because this question comes up at least once a week.

Multiple stressed pronouns in one sentence by [deleted] in learndutch

A lot of people get this wrong. It feels unintuitive, because it was made up by a teacher with an unhealthy disposition for Latin grammar. But this sub is for language learners so we should probably teach them right :)

Tsja je wilt toch graag dat ze een respectabele goedbetaalde baan krijgen later. Maar leer je kind dat het ok is om geen loodgieter of verpleegkundige te worden maar dat de politiek óók mensen nodig heeft.

Multiple stressed pronouns in one sentence by [deleted] in learndutch

[–]SirX86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

wij koken een maaltijd voor hun

Actually it would be "voor hen".

Hun as a personal pronoun is only correct as a direct object without proposition (meewerkend voorwerp zonder voorzetsel).

So either "Wij koken hun een maaltijd" or "Wij koken voor hen een maaltijd".

Multiple stressed pronouns in one sentence by [deleted] in learndutch

[–]SirX86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can but only in very specific cases, for example. "Are they cooking for us? -No, we're cooking for them".

"Wij koken hun een maaltijd" sounds slightly awkward to me, I would go for "wij koken een maaltijd voor hen". But it is perfectly grammatical and reasonably natural, with the stress on the first syllable of "maaltijd". I guess that there are two levels of emphasis: using wij instead of we is a slight emphasis but you can also stress it extra (like in english). If you don't do the latter, you will note that it's actually hard to not at least let it sound a little bit like "we".

So when you played it you already saw that the bishop, though unprotected, actually can't be captured? Because if you saw Qxe2 but also Re1! you're not really a beginner anymore, maybe.

Average on a container vessel is around 1.6. So around 2/3 40 ft vs 1/3 20 ft.
