COOL !!!!!!!!!!!!

Jup daar heb ik de naam van, en zo te zien is dat een origneel. Ik heb met veel pijn en moeite er ook een, maar in een strip.

Ben je ook fervent strip/commic verzamelaar?

What kind of man is he
To create this allergy?
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom,
-- Oh!
Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
-- Well, goodness gracious me.
 


You posted in mine thread--I'll post ya back :)

Hallo Maldur :)

Although I'm Canadian by law, my roots are quite Dutch (at 191cm is there any doubt?). All my uncles (ooms), aunts (tantes), and cousins (neeven en nichten, sp?) live in Holland: Heiloo, Nijmegen, Groningen, Rotterdam, Vries, Hoorn, Emmen (where I was born. Great zoo there--no I wasn't born in a zoo :D ), and elsewhere I've forgotten.

As much as I appreciate being Canadian in Montreal, I miss my familial connections--travel to europe is not as easy as driving down highway 401 over here for 500km (6 hours) to see my parents in Toronto. Sigh.

So, since I can't go to Holland this year, I wish you a hartelijk meeting in Arnhem! Tell us all about it, okay? :)

-W. :cool:

PS: Yes, sadly enough I had to use my engels/nederlands woordenboek :o
 

Winterthorn,
Good to hear from you. Whenever your visiting relatives send me a mail and we'll gather some ENworlders for the occasion.

Een woordeboek! Slecht hoor :P

Neven.

Dutch is a very hard language to learn for English speakers. Actually it is a very hard language to learn for almost everyone, Germans possibly excepted. There are just so many small rules, such as the above that the double ee is shortened to e. Then there are 2 rather unique sounds (The "U" is actually more or less as unique as the glottal "G" is...)

I should have continued with general linguistic studies...
