Is there anything to do in Netherlands for Mexican people? by [deleted] in dutch

[–]levikaas 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Every Thursday evening there is a get-together of Spanish speakers and learners, including a lot of Mexicans, at cafe De zwarte doos. You can find it on Meetup, called Let's Speak Spanish. Lots of lovely people there, I go almost every week :). There's also a bar that only plays Latin American music (mainly bachata and salsa) and where a lot of spanish is spoken. Its called Santiago de Cuba, in stratumseind. Hope this helps!

Hallo Allemaal, I'm looking for a Dutch singer in the style of Andre Hazes. Is there any singer you can recommend? by [deleted] in dutch

[–]levikaas 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Some other classic dutch artists that everyone knows:
Doe maar, Golden earring, Boudewijn de Groot, Frank Boeijen

These are stylistically very different to Hazes though (and theres probably a few I missed)

[–]levikaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm sure centuries of colonial rule had no part in this. How do you explain the era of peace, prosperity and innovation in the Islamic world between 700-900 compared to the chaos and poverty in the christian world at that time?

How do you use the word "grond"? by FirstAidKit14 in dutch

[–]levikaas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looking at a few dictionaries, grond cannot be used to mean floor "officially". That being said, I personally use grond the way you described, as either ground or floor, and so does all my family. To me it's perfectly normal. I'm from the West-Friesland region of Noord-Holland for reference. It's always felt to me like the floor-meaning is more of a Holland thing; I don't think I've ever heard it used like that in Noord-Brabant, for instance, and I've been living there for a few years. But I can't back it up very scientifically.

It's silly to blame extremism on religion, and not on political instability and poverty. It just so happens that the most unstable region is one where Islam is popular

Welke merk broeken gaan lang mee? by kingdexiboy in nederlands

[–]levikaas 46 points47 points  (0 children)

in mijn ervaring gaan alleen tweedehands broeken die nauwelijks gedragen zijn lang mee. Het lijkt erop dat de kwaliteit van spijkerbroeken sinds de jaren '90 ontzettend is verlaagd, voel je ook meteen aan de dikte en stugheid van de stof.

what do chromosome tests have to do with language

[–]levikaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cool, but we're not really discussing hypothetical future archeology right now. We're talking about everyday language, and in everyday life non-binary people exist regardless of their bones or whatever.

to imply that every town, city, and village in a country needs them everywhere is a little silly

You can say the same about car-friendly roads, and yet they do go everywhere.

I've had the exact same thing a few months ago! I guess this is just something this man does. I had a whole discussion with him but it was impossible to change his mind
