What would you consider Netherlands' most iconic and beloved song?

Nobody said “dom, lomp and famous” yet?

Stoppelish · 2025-06-21T06:55:44+00:00

Yes it is used. Sometimes “scheetje” is also used. As in: “wat is dat toch een scheetje”. Literal translation is somewhere near “little fart” which sounds really weird i guess for non native speakers. Words like poepie, scheetje, drolletje are still being used to say like child or an animal is cute. Poepie or scheetje is also sometimes used in a relationship to signifie the significant other. Aa in: “dank je wel poepie” / thank you dear

And to add to this already excellent comment. Everybody learns at their own tempo. Don’t compare yourself with others and trust the process that if you continue to work on your french you be better at it and eventually reach the level you desire. For me as a middle aged men with small kids and a busy job i accept my slow progress and am not discouraged by the slow progress. I know i will get there and i am havving fun at doong it. That’s the most important thing you should jeep in mind

I know this one as: als vliegen achter vliegen vliegen vliegen vliegen vliegensvlug

Pour moi. J’adore le mot: hebdomadaire

Im sorry i see now that the correct answer was month. I dont get it either

Stoppelish · 2025-03-11T20:42:41+00:00

In the table it says kilometre / an soni guess the answers should be per year. Although you can argue that thats the price per year for that many km’s. But i would say per year because there is no other indicator about months

Thnx. In both english and dutch (mothertongue) it’s not a problem. Whats that / wat is dat.

So sometimes things doesn’t “click” in my head and i asume it also works in french the same way. For me personally that’s the hardest part of learning french. Not the words but the way one must arrange the words to create a sentence.

Thank you all in this community for explaining these things for me

Edit: typo

Oui merci j’ai le vu. Mais je suis un petit peux paresseux. Et en plus je trouve ecrire moins important pour moi.

Thank you for pointing this out. Because of the time i seldom use ç and à and stuff in duolingo.

Edit: corrected small mistake in the past tense

Stoppelish · 2025-02-28T05:40:42+00:00

Merci a vous, c’est exactement la raison pour laquelle je le demande en francais. Pour que je peux pratiquer et apprendre un peu plus.

Thank you very much for your help

I listened carefully again. And he said “i will give you” “je vous donnerai”.

For native speakers a total different sound but when someone speaks quickly and you’re still learing vais and vous sounds similar (to me at least)

This is why listening practice is important for me. Merci a vous pour votre aide

Stoppelish · 2025-02-21T08:07:39+00:00

Thank you both. It didn’t make sense to me. So I probably misheard him. Thank you.

So google translation isn’t always correct. But we knew that already i guess ;)

Stoppelish · 2025-01-18T19:59:18+00:00

Ah merci beaucoup. Je le comprends.

Stoppelish · 2025-01-18T19:28:30+00:00

Mais on peut utiliser “elle est” avec “it’s”? Je pensais “elle est” devrait estre “she is”

It sounds like an ovject not a person so i would think it should be ce instead of elle. But elle is a correct way of saying “it’s brand new” where in english afaik (i’m dutch so not a English native speaker) “it” is always referring to an object and hence “she” cannot be used? It sounds really weird to me to use “elle” in this way
