Kruimeldief goes back to the brush rollers based carpet cleaning devices, I think it was a brand name, or slogan from one of those in the fifties or so.
"Why is everything a horse?" To be honest: "hippo" also means "horse" (hippopotamus = horse of the river; we just specify which river - horse of the Nile, Nijlpaard). Jachtluipaard is a different story. Leopardus is Latin and means "lion-panther". The English just dropped the "-us" at the end, but the Dutch adjusted the spelling to how it sounded to them: "lui paard" (lazy horse). But that didn't sound dangerous at all, so they added "jacht" to it. And in case you want to know: "Hottentottententententoonstellingsterrein" The Hottentotten are an African tribe, and they apparently have a tent exhibition terrain. But actually they don't live in tents, so it pretty much is a made-up word that sounds silly.
@@GrobbenFamily yes, the best way to learn the language. I travel between Jordan and Cyprus, and I have the same immersion into Greek from living in Paphos. I'm trying to move to the Netherlands...long story. I'll still try to learn Dutch if I end up moving to another country. My friend lives close to Maastricht, and she is Palestinian-Jordanian, but married to a Dutch guy. She is doing the same. Learning from her husband. Told her I need to find me a Dutch gay guy to marry so I can learn the language 🤣.
Dog=Barkhorse, Cow=Milkhorse, Cat=sleepcow, rabbit=longearedhumphorse. It's easy. :D Places to go: Gorinchem=Gorkum Good look with your Dutch lessons. It's a b#tch! Boodschappen is Bidshelfs. (now it make sense, right) Raun isn't making it easy for you. And we love the fact that you try to speak dutch. With a dutch drivers license you're only alowed to drive for a short period. Then you have to take an exam at the DMV. (Very easy bit the way)
What are you on about?? Dog is hond, Cow is koe, Cat is kat, Rabbit is konijn. And the drivers licence part is BS too. You can extend it. Up to the age of 65, 10 years, after that 5 years. Just have it extended. You are full of BS!
@@justincredible. relax… the horse thing is a joke. Nijlpaard, jachtluipaard… alles is paard in het Nederlands. Je Nederlandse rijbewijs moet je, als je in de VS gaat wonen, omruilen voor een Amerikaanse. Hiervoor moet je bij de D.M.V. 2 examens doen. Theorie en praktijk. And BS zou HS moeten zijn dan natuurlijk…
This was fun. First of all : Americans are considered loud. Lower the volume of your voice. People will ask you to speak up if necessary. I am absolutely shocked by your ability to acquire the Dutch pronunciation in seconds. 😲👏
This one is too funny! .:)
Good luck with the theory!
Thank you ☺️ I’m glad you enjoyed it!
How about ‘steenkolen Engels’? 😉
Ventiel is valve, so English for an autobandventieldopje is a tire valve cap.
Ah makes sense!

Ah okay that makes sense! Maybe like how here they say spa blauw instead of bottled still water?

Oh that’s actually quite interesting! Thanks for the info 😊 the “jacht” sure does make it sound more fierce 😂😂
It's luipaard not lui paard (lui paard means lazy horse). Hottentottententententoonstellingsterrein is a (language) joke
@@justincredible. ah a joke that makes sense. Its far to long to be something I’m willing to believe is used 😂😂
Doedelzak is bagpipe.
You should move to Limburg, we don't have that "hard" G. Probably easier to pronounce for americans.
Well, I can tell you. Dutch is the hardest language I've learned so far from the ones I know, Arabic, English, French, and learning Greek.
Oh goodness 🙈 I’m just going to keep telling myself it’s easy to trick myself into believing it 😂
@@GrobbenFamily 😄I didn't even start learning. I'm just using Duolingo to learn Dutch. I find it super hard haha
@@moldar81 ah okay, well most of my husbands family do not speak English so I’ve had quite a strong immersion into the language!

Oh goodness the obsession with horses 😂😂 I am definitely trying but proper lessons I think are necessary soon.

I’m even considered loud to other Americans 🫢🫢 its just the way I’ve always been, I’m sure the Dutch don’t like it 🫣
Thank you! I try my best!
@@GrobbenFamily Well, 'We're not made of sugar'. We'll live. 😆
Why trip and fall over ‘kinder’ in kinderboerderij. Americans have something called kindergarten so why pretend you can’t pronounce kinder 😂
I’m not sure exactly what you mean, kinderboerderij was not one of the words! I think you’re referring to when we said “koeienboerderij”
So, she can't read? geschenkink? While it CLEARY says geschenk. Doeptje?? where is the T in dopje? She has a reading problem
