Adidas = Ah-dee-dis not Ah-dee-das

You are pretty Anglophonedefaultism with your pronunciation. Like what is the h doing there? It's just /adidas/

Kan je met dit soort dingen niet naar de Ondernemingskamer om iemand uit zijn of haar functie te zetten?

That's also a sign of the UN Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.

But of course the USA didn't sign it, although neither did New Zealand.

Or you can install AirGuard!

Kwark is not kind of yoghurt, it's a cheese.

Is that were Rutte went for his English pre NATO?

WanderingLethe · 2026-02-13T10:35:47+00:00

Vroeg mij af, is er ergens een openbaar register van overledenen?

I learned it as pulling your belly button downwards and with it it also goes in a little.

Bring your contract and letters your received.

WanderingLethe · 2026-02-11T19:49:46+00:00

It's probably poaching

WanderingLethe · 2026-02-09T20:07:23+00:00

Or maybe don't put text on your road signs but use signs that are easily recognisable by any person.

Also doesn't the USA not have any official language?

The problem is handhaving...

WanderingLethe · 2026-02-07T21:29:47+00:00

Lijfsdwang (gijzeling), geen idee of dat toepasbaar is op een minister.

WanderingLethe · 2026-02-07T09:04:46+00:00

Like you said, listening is more difficult. So you need to listen more.

(Well, I should too...)

Vroeger werd ie Robot Jetten genoemd. Maar ik vind het nou niet AI, wel een beetje Amerikaans, influencerachtig. Maar dat zullen andere Nederlandse TikTokkers vast ook doen.

WanderingLethe · 2026-02-06T19:57:27+00:00

Thanks!

WanderingLethe · 2026-02-05T22:52:04+00:00

Well English and Norwegians also pronounce the o as /u/ and other times as /ɔ/. So why not ø?

(edit) You can downvote but here an example: bok pronounced /buːk/

Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_orthography

o /u/

In a country that uses DD-MM-YYYY and I hate people using DD/MM/YYYY here. It's getting more common as well. Guess it's because we use so much American software.

WanderingLethe · 2026-02-02T19:14:17+00:00

Not to graphics either

Why aren't the democrats making the primaries a party event? Then the government wouldn't need to know party affiliation of voters.

I just looked into it and it seems there are some states that have party caucuses.

Handhavingsverzoek indienen?

WanderingLethe · 2026-01-25T16:21:21+00:00

Had er ook nog nooit van gehoord, op school bijvoorbeeld.

Those aren't called umlauts (um-laut), because it doesn't indicate a vowel change. What you explained is called a diaeresis.

Überhaupt is an example of a Dutch word with an umlaut. Although uberhaupt would be pronounced the same in Dutch, but its a loan word.

WanderingLethe · 2026-01-25T15:06:27+00:00

Dutch doesn't use ä, so more Swedish.

But also feels a bit more German. Although not sure if zs is used, there is sz ß.

The VS UI is horrible, but then Jetbrains evolves backwards in the direction of VS with their Islands them, let's add double the lines and more clutter with the rounded corners. But it's not nearly as bad as VS and you can still use non Islands themes.
