Telefoon dood, wat nou?

Notities

What's wrong with tities?!
- Someone mentioned that Hitler Dood thing was actually Afrikaans, not Dutch. But yeah, poor Dutch and their notities...
  
  It would be the same in Dutch.
tities > notities
- Came here to say this
R E K E N M A C H I N E
- Sounds like a southerner's word for a calculator.
  
  "Two times three? I reken that's a five."
- My new speed metal band, but all the songs are actually about math. Our debut album will be Hippasus of Metapontum with the single being Mystic Discourse.
- L I V E I N C O N C E R T!!!
  
  ITSSATURDAYNIGHT
- Proper name for the torture of mathematics condensed into a single program.

- As a Dutch person, I can confirm
  
  I never considered the possibility of my language being funny before I saw the memes. Except for the dutch they speak in Flanders.
I wish the Dutch were real 😔
PANIEK
Why does Foto's have an apostrophe?
- I'm not an expert but probably because it's Dutch
- Plural of words ending with a vowel (except "e") uses the apostrophe.
  
  Only if it's a short 'e', if the pronunciation is long, you do use an apostrophe.
  
  Gotcha, makes sense
- Niet omdat het moet, maar omdat het kan
  
  100 hours learning Dutch in duolingo and I still had to go look this up. /smh
  
  Don't let it go, but let it go
  
  Is that about right?
  
  Nie omdat ek moet, maar omdat ek kan.
Show me them notities
Remember notities.
- 1 month from now...
  
  Expectation:
  
  "Haha notiddies. Man, what a meme that was!"
  
  Reality:
  
  Me not remembering ever seeing this post in my life.
  
  Hier ben ik dan, 1 maand later. Notities?
Not the notities!!!!
geef me een klap papa
Hitler so dood.
- 🤨
  
  A couple days before they posted this, someone posted headlines from around the world when Hitler died. All of them looked really official and then in Dutch it's "Hitler so dood" (Hitler is dead). Such a silly looking language for English speakers.
Lekker met de instellingen klooien
- I only know that lekker means cool in Afrikaans and that Afrikaans is very close to Dutch. I’m not versed enough to know if this sentence is in Afrikaans or Dutch.
  
  I also know that “the” is “die” in Afrikaans. Because I saw a book called “die bible” on someone’s table and thought it was a way cooler book than it was. With the “de” I’m back to thinking Dutch?
  
  DIE BART DIE
  
  "Lekker" actually means tasty in Dutch, however it can be used as "enjoyable" or something in this context, kind of weird actually
  
  It's dutch yeah
