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.

dutch text : wanneer je "Gekoloniseerd" Maar het is een nederlandse sub
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?
I think my favorite one my Dutch buddy told me about was "Helaas pindakaas." If not that, I also love the insult "droplul."

Expectation:
"Haha notiddies. Man, what a meme that was!"
Reality:
Me not remembering ever seeing this post in my life.
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.
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?
"Lekker" actually means tasty in Dutch, however it can be used as "enjoyable" or something in this context, kind of weird actually
In Afrikaans it’s like calling something “rad” or “cool”. Like “lekker mate” when someone asks how you are.
