  • Speaking Dutch can be pretty tough. Weird choking sounds, crazy expressions, and an seemingly endless combination of words. Still, we asked some people to give it a try. For people who want to know more about 'Swaffelen': en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swaffelen
    Thanks to www.learndutch.org/ for helping us make this video!

      @legaleagle46 6 лет назад +30

      I found it a lot easier once I realized that it's the exact same sound as the Spanish "j". I learned how to pronounce THAT more than 43 years ago, so I cheat and use it when it comes to trying to pronounce anything in Dutch that has a "g" in it.

    • @silversamm
      @silversamm 6 лет назад +10

      I always found it interesting how in Dutch these long words are all stringed together, while in English they are usually split up. 'verkeersbord' versus 'traffic sign' or 'winkelcentrum' versus 'shopping mall 'and so on. Pretty sure most languages go with splitting up?

    • @F4CEMusic
      @F4CEMusic 6 лет назад +20

      Yes you are right, but we have a good reason for it. Its to make a distinction between a long distance runner and a long distance runner. You can have a person thats long and runs distances and you can have a long distance runner. In dutch we make a distinction: "Een lange afstandsloper" is a tall distance runner, "Een langeafstandsloper" is a long distance runner.
      So yeah its easier to split words up but it can also cause confusion about the meaning of the word.

    On my fathers side I am Dutch (Lokker), Swiss (Greuter) and Irish (Murphy) and on my mothers side German (Preussner). I am fluent in German and can read Dutch but speaking and understanding it are very different. On one trip to Europe I visited family in northwest Germany and then took a train to visit friends near Gouda in the Netherlands. It was a learning experience of pronunciation of Gouda in English, German and Dutch.
    I find all languages interesting. And there is an English equivalent to Swaffelen, it is Swaffling.

    The "g" sound is a killer for Americans. I tried to learn Dutch from my friends when I stayed with them outside of Haarlem. They said I spoke Dutch like I was a Belgian.
    Luckily, they all spoke beautiful English. And French. And one spoke Chinese and another German.
    We really need to up our game in America.

    The 'arbeidsongeschiktheidsverzekering' is a mean one, in the Dutch language you are allowed to contract different words into one new word. 'Arbeid' = labor, 'ongeschiktheid' = incapability, 'verzekering' = insurance. In all it would translate to 'disability insurance'. Now lets do a video about the Dutch word 'meervoudigepersoonlijkheidsstoornis' a Dutch word that is often used when you have a fight with your girl friend or mother in law.

Sometimes they mean the same thing 'arm' is 'arm' in both languages and means the same thing referring to the body part, (but it also means: to be poor, in Dutch, while in English it can mean 'to prime an explosive for detonation'). There's tons of words like that.
