Apparently in Polish there is: * holender: - person from the Netherlands. In Polish European part of the Netherlands as a whole is called "Holandia", whether you like it or not, and the "Niderlandy" refers to the entire country including overseas territories or pre- London treaty Kingdom of Netherlands which covered entire BeNeLux. The language itself is called "niderlandzki". - machine for grinding fibres in the paper industry - aquarium with natural flora inside - pose in ice skating - in 7th grammatical case "Holender!" as a soft swear word in place of an already soft swear word "cholera", which comes from the name of a disease. - Dutch windmill * domek holenderski - a container house, portable camping house within the size of the standard cargo container * holendrować: - in ice skating, making poses mentioned above - to tilt the aircraft and change its course at the same time (by similarity with ice skating pose) - to staple the booklets by pulling the thread through all the sheets at two points on the spine of the insert My entire life I knew only about "domek holenderski" and the camouflage for camouflaged swear word. That's actually interesting, because Dutch settled some villages in Pomerania, especially around Vistula river estuary creating its nowadays delta, but seem to be not reflected in the languge.
Since moving to Halifax Nova Scotia, I have noticed a lot of people ride bikes. Recently I heard a radio announcer promoting 'the Dutch reach'. Which is when you open your car door with your right hand while exiting your car instead of your left hand. I guess it gives you a second to look and see if a bike is coming up beside you and you don't open the door on them. So thoughtful the Dutch are!! I also really want a Dutch door on my next house!
Look into the expression "Pass the Dutchie". It originally referred to a Dutch Oven (the literal one) in a song about poverty, but because it's a reggae song people misinterpreted it to be about passing a joint around. It's now generally meant that way.
Thanks for explaining about the "Double Dutch" rope skipping. We did that a lot in my German primary school. At the time we didn't know any English. (Apart from the sentence "You are terrible" which an older brother of a classmate had "taught" her and a bit of counting.) We still called it "Dabbeldatsch". I had almost forgotten about this and now it brought back so many pleasant memories. And an explanation for the weird term.
@@learndutchwithkim I don't know whether it's called like that all over Germany or if only in my rural, little, remote Northern German village we were quite the experts on appropriate rope skipping terms ;-)
In 1667 was the raid on the Medway. The Dutch sailed up the Thames and fought the English Royal Navy, defeating them completely. It's still considered to be one of the biggest defeats, if not the biggest, of the English navy in the whole of their history. Especially because it was also being suffered on their own soil. The dutch made a very advantageous deal with the English afterwards. No wonder the English didn't really like us and began to use expressions like the ones you mentioned in the video! And no wonder these expressions are mostly negative...
There is much more to it than that. But yeah it is a part of it. By the way, there was hardly any fighting involved in the Raid on the Medway. The English were caught off guard.
@@ronaldderooij1774 That's absolutely true. Nevertheless it was one of their greatest defeats. The Dutch also captured their "vlaggenschip", don't know the exact English word for that
@@ronaldderooij1774 Thanks! By the way, the fact there wasn't much actual fighting was the reason I called it the "raid on" the Medway, not the "battle of" the Medway
Dutch Cocoa :) And, The Flying Dutchman opera/ship So many of the examples in your video I had never ever heard of! [From one website about Dutch Cocoa: Dutch-process cocoa powder starts with cocoa beans that have been washed in alkaline solution of potassium carbonate. This wash neutralizes their acidity. So, dutch-process cocoa powder is neutral. Because it is neutral, it does not react with baking soda. It’s often paired with baking powder. (But not always!) Alkalizing cocoa makes it darker in color, mellow in flavor, and dissolves easily into liquids. Oreo cookies are made from dutch cocoa!
More names in NY with Dutch roots: Flushing (Vlissingen), Wall Steet (Walstraat), Broadway (Breede Wegh), Nassau Street (Dutch royals). Keep it up Kim, love it!
The first Dutch stereotype I knew was they were vigorous sailers, hunters, and explorers. For example those orchid hunters who traveled months in the sea and the jungle for the rich orchid collectors back home.
I have been studying and researching a lot about this language, it is Rhenish Franconian on the German side, related to Dutch and Luxembourgish, it is the Franconian Rhenish regional language as well as Franconian Hessian. The name that the Statenians gave is pretty crazy Pennsylvania or Dutch German 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 especially because standard Dutch is never from the same linguistic subfamily as standard German. This language is very interesting and beautiful and a transitional border language between sister and neighboring nations kisses in your heart Kim 💋❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
De afgelopen 18 maanden hielden je video's de Nederlandse taal constant in mijn oor. Ik ben Afrikaans en opereer als reisleider in Zuid-Afrika via Djoser reizen. Ik was bang dat ik bepaalde uitdrukkingen enz. zou vergeten - je onderwijs is geweldig! ik heb er alle vertrouwen in dat als ik in de nabije toekomst gasten moet verwelkomen dat mijn "Nederkaans" niet zo verroest zal zijn als verwacht.
I've also heard a "Dutch treat", for when someone invites you somewhere or offers you something but doesn't tell you until afterwards that they expect you to pay for it, e.g., a guy asks if he can take you to a posh restaurant on your birthday and he orders champagne and so on, but then at the end of the meals he wants to split it 50/50 so you're lumbered with a massive bill, even though you would have been happy with a couple of pints at the local pub; or your phone breaks so your friend says "don't worry, you can have my old one, I'll bring it tomorrow" and then when they hand it over they're like "you can just send me £80 whenever". Also Dutch Elm Disease
We forgot all about a very nice animal, namely a Dutch Rabbit, which has a pelt which is divided into very clear white patches and patches of 1 other colour. It looks like it got a white jumper on and white socks ! ........ Then in Sweden (where I lived for 20 years) a Holländare is besides a Dutchman, also a windmill, frequently found in southern Sweden (Scania) that were built by Dutch craftsmen.
Several Australian places named after Dutch places or people e.g. Arnhem Land, Tasmania (after Dutch explorer Abel Tasman and previously called Van Dieman's land) and Australia itself had been called New Holland. Also, another term I've heard is Dutch Auction where the price starts high and comes down until someone offers to buy.
There is also a Cape Keerweer, where the Dutch sailed back (omkeren) and Cape Leeuwin. A placed called Wittenoom in Western Australia which is off limits because it used to be a mining town for asbestos which is a very dangerous substance. There is Groote Eylandt, and Rottnest Island (Rat's nest eiland) where the cute Quokkas live that looked a bit like rats in the eyes of the Dutch sailers.
In Indonesia, a Dutch wife is actually a long pillow that you can grab while sleeping. usually you lie on your side and place the pillow between the legs.
So, I've learned some very different definitions of some of the terms in the video. "Dutch wife/Dutch husband" - This term pre-dates sex dolls; my grandmother used to use it to refer to a body pillow, which is usually long and covered in a white pillowcase. The comparison (sorry, Kim) is to a wife/husband who simply lies there inertly. The usage is dated now. "As hot as Dutch love" - I learned this as an ironic reference, meaning "very cold". See "Dutch wife/Dutch husband" above. One term I learned growing up was "Dutch trader", meaning someone who deals unfairly or underhandedly, implying that the person shortchanges those they deal with. It comes from the American Colonial period, and was exactly like the term "Yankee trader", which is the same meaning applied to Americans. Clearly the Dutch and the Americans didn't trust each other in business back then. As for being high all the time, "dutchie" is a euphemism for marijuana. Just saying. I've never heard the term "up the Dutch shit", but I learned--and still use--the term "to be/get in Dutch with" someone, meaning to get in trouble with them. It's another term I learned from my grandmother, so it may be a little dated nowadays. Oh, and "jeneverbesse" (sp?) should probably be translated as "juniper berries", since gin is flavored with juniper.
A Dutch wife is what we call 'guling' (old spelling: 'goeling') which is a very common article found in Indonesian bedrooms even now. Its history originates from the bolster used by Dutch soldiers during the colonial period as wife-surrogate. mothership.sg/2017/10/the-dutch-wife-is-a-pillow-with-regional-origins-but-it-has-evolved-into-a-sex-doll/
Let's do dutch/going dutch ☺️🤗... In the Philippines, it is referred to as KKB, an acronym for kanya-kanyang bayad which means 'pay for your own self'.
I'd like to share something from my native language Croatian, that has to do with the word ''Dutch''. The word ''tuđ'' (''Đ'' is pronounced as ''J'' in ''Jack'', but a bit softer), meaning ''foreign, strange, not your own'' is a cognate of the word ''Dutch'', all the way from Proto-Indo-European. Similar words with the same meaning also exist in other Slavic languages, for example ''cudzy'' in Polish or ''чужо́й (čužój)'' in Russian. Also, in this context, it's interesting to notice how we call the Germans - ''Nijemci'', from ''nijem'', which means ''mute, someone that doesn't know how to speak''. This is similar to how the ancient Greeks and later Romans named the peoples and tribes that didn't speak Greek or Latin - '''barbarians'', because the language they spoke sounded to the Greeks like gibberish, represented by the sounds "bar..bar...bar...''
Just a short comment on the common origin of the words Dutch ( for from the Netherlands ) and Deutsch ( German in German ). For a long time there was no clear language divide. Certain consonant shifts led to High German as we know it now. The West Germanic language branches of the saxons and franconians who settled in what is now Northern Germany ( low saxon ) and the Netherlands ( partly low saxon, partly low-franconian ) didn't go through these shifts. You notice this even nowadays in the local dialects that have established a dialect continuum between both languages. It makes sense that the settlers in America who originated from Dutch/Deutschland were considered of the same root somehow.
It might make you feel better but I’ve never heard of any of these negative stereotypes about Dutch people I’ve only heard that Dutch people are fun and like to party! I’m 42 years old from Philadelphia and I haven’t heard negative stereotypes about the Dutch
Hi Kim we love being your "dutchies to be" im from South Africa and its fun hearing about countries and areas that speak Dutch, i grew up in a town called Ermelo which is another town named after a town in the Netherlands
New York is full of places named after Dutch towns or Dutch names that have been Anglicized Flushing - Vlissingen Bushwick - Boswijck Red Hook - Roode Hoek Flatbush - Vlacke bos New Utrecht - Nieuw Utrecht (doesn't really exist now but there's still New Utrecht Avenue) Coney Island - Konijn Eiland (literally "Rabbit Island") Staten Island - Staaten Eylandt Midwood - Midwout
Thanks for another fun video Kim! Love your content 🥰 As an expat in Amsterdam, I always hear ‘Dutch direct’ to refer to the straightforwardness you mention. Also ‘clever clogs’ to refer to someone who’s a ‘smarty pants’ - maybe it’s got some Dutch roots?
It’s vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and chocolate bits, filled with marshmallows and nuts (cashews). Creamy, crunchy, fluffy and fudgy! Super lekker! 😃
I’m from NZ and no I’ve never heard that saying before. I’ve heard “Up the duff” which means your either pregnant or used like the expression “up a creek without a paddle”
I almost forgot about the term "Dutch Wink" . We might see some during the Olympics gymnastics competition. You can see lots of examples of the Dutch Wink at ua-cam.com/video/hVoQbt0sCyY/v-deo.html I wonder if there will be a new term like "Dutch Gold" where someone thinks they won a race but came second ;) (For the record I'm a big fan of AVV)
Een veiling die van 'hoog naar laag' gaat (zoals de bloemenveiling bij Schiphol) noemen ze een 'Dutch Auction'. Het gaat in wezen tegenovergesteld van een 'normale veiling' waar klanten met elkaar 'omhoog' bieden. En in de VS hoor je wel eens iemand zeggen, tegen een kind bijvoorbeeld, 'You're in Dutch' en dat betekend dan 'You're in trouble'. Pas op; je bent stout geweest en nu ga ik je straffen: 'You're in Dutch'.
@@learndutchwithkim : Iets 'Dutch' wordt, zoals je goed uitlegde, vaak geassocieerd met 'iets slechts' (vanwege al dat geheibel met die Engelsen, etc.). Maar je kan ook zeggen: If it ain't Dutch; it ain't much!
Thank you kim for the inforamtion. Also, the book George Orwell 1984 behind you is an interesting book to be read about the big brother, a book was written in 1949. regards
Example of Dunglish: there is this migrant anecdote from Australia when a young expectant Dutch migrant couple in the 1960's with a limited command of English caused a sales lady in a department store to almost faint when the couple asked: "Doe joe sel ledikants (pronounced ladyc.nts) hier ?" (= do you sell baby cots here)
"Dutchie" in Canada (or "Hollandaise" in French) will be known by most Canadians as a sweet square-shaped glazed doughnut with raisins popularized by the coffee shop chain, Tim Hortons. Not sure why it's called that, maybe it's loosely inspired by the oliebol? Although it's been recently replaced by the Apple Fritter which, sadly, is most definitely not as tasty. Ref: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutchie_(doughnut)
The English imported jenever before making it themselfs (gin). When they needed some extra courage they drank jenever (later gin). Dutch courage is gin not a lack off courage from the Dutch. Maybe the stealing of their flagship is proof of real Dutch courage.
In the Middle ages, "Dutch" referred to all (germanic) languages on the continent. Only the Netherlands retained that "title". Dutch just meant "language of the people"
To call Afrikaans 'baby dutch' is rather unkind. Although Afrikaans started out as kind of simplified Dutch it has evolved as a unique language in its own right over the years........Do you know that Afrikaans is easier to understand for the majority of Dutch people than most dialects spoken in the Netherlands ? !!
Dutch oven lol, that's the first term I've learnt from local farmers in s'Gravenpolder. I was like: there are no ovens in this room, only beds with sheets.
Check out the place - "New Holland" in Saint Petersburg, Russia... Not literally Dutch but Holland ) and also I've heard of "Dutch disease" (without butt) - a term from economics
Hi! I have not heard many of these phrases before: maybe they are Americanisms rather than Anglicisms? I had to look up Dutch oven in an American recipe and discovered it meant a casserole. These days Dutch courage is being re-told as a compliment to the Dutch who were the only ones brave enough to sail into plague-affected Britian in the 1600s, possibly delivering gin or under its influence! On a date, 'going Dutch' is also seen more as a matter of fairness and female equality rather than male stinginess these days. Archaically there was a fabric called 'hollands', the term only (just about) existing nowadays as 'holland covers' which I think maybe the fitted dust covers used in a fancy building (such as a stately home) to cover furniture when it is not on display. A glass of hollands is also used to refer to gin, but only in historical literature.
In Italy we say 'don't make the Portuguese (non fare il portoghese)' when you use something (usually a bus) without paying. I don't know if we have Italian sentences (expressions, way to say) against the Dutch. Anyway I will buy a Dutch oven to cooking taste food for my wife.
You're so helpful with Dutch pronunciation, let me return the favor: at 9:52, "characteristics" is /kar-IK-ter-is-tix/, not /kar-IS-ter-is-tix/. All the "c"s are hard.
Yes, definitely interested in the history! Your channel is so much fun and so informative! People call me anDutchman yet. Of course they are no younger than 75 years old. Definitely already a Dutchie though.😎 I do have one question though. My dad was born in Friesland. His family has always said that they spoke a different language and they often acted as a different nationality all together, even though they were still in the Netherlands. Do different states of Holland still have different languages? I grew up very confused!
As a 30 year old English man I have never heard any of these English sayings other than "going Dutch" because my mam used to tell me to never do it on a first date (probably sound advice) 🤷🏻♀️ I also have an egg allergy but hopefully I can find some good vegan stroopwafels there once governments finally tell us it's safe to travel again 😒
@@learndutchwithkim In fact, when I have heard it used it often is synonymous with beauty and the stereotype tall blonde girl. Perhaps it is colloquial to the British isles?
First time i hear something about "drunk dutch". I'm polish and all my life in Nederland (10 years) i heard how much polish people drink and how big they are alcoholic... Dutch people drink often a wine, of biertje. And they still can talk that polish people drink more.. Is not nice for me, because I am polish and I dont drink. But if I looking at dutch people never I can imagine that these people can drink much 😁
Interesting, fun video. But I couldn't help wonder why exactly men DO love bitches! 😆 Anyway. As for the English having negative stereotypes about the Dutch and whether or not they like the Dutch, fear not. The English don't like *anyone* who isn't English, really. Not even the other inhabitants of the British Isles. Come to think of it, the inhabitants of the south of England don't even like the inhabitants of the north of England. So it's not just the Dutch! 🤣 And as for stroopwafels - my friend brought some over when she visited last August, and they were certainly lekker! After she left, I found some in my local Aldi store - manufactured here in Wales. So we've nicked your food too! 😁
The Dutch not miserly? Do the words "Een koekje alleen" sound familiar Kim? Here in Australia you can have as many biscuits as you like provided you ask nicely! Nederlanders zijn krenterig!
Actually that is not entirely true. On my first try to Nederlands I took a tourist boat in Amsterdam in one of the krachten. I got talking to the boat's captain in Dutch who was a retired engineer and after ten minutes he asked 'wil je de boot sturen?' so I was allowed to steer a tourist boat through the canals, under the bridges and into the water near Centraal. An incredibly generous offer that most tourists and probably most Dutchies never get, and made to someone with no Dutch nationality or family background. The Dutch can be erg gezellig mensen.
@@learndutchwithkim Thanks Kim. One quick suggestion. You have studied languages other than Dutch and achieved high proficiency. I would love to hear what method works for you as there is much discussion about different ways of learning languages on UA-cam.
Dutch elm disease! XD Some kind of disease an elm tree gets! XD Why the word; “Dutch” is in the name? I don’t know! 😝 Imagine if the tree explodes if it gets it? BOOM! 😝
Dutch courage is dronkenmans moed - when you're drunk and think you can manage anything. ......... Dutch concert = Hell of a noise...........Tight as a Dutchman = very stingy
Dutch Butt may have an ugly racial origin from South Africa. A Khoikhoian woman known by the offensive nickname "Hottentot Venus" was displayed as a kind of sideshow around the world.

I actually visited Lancaster, PA where there is a big Amish community and also met some in Las Vegas. The first thing that got my attention was the last names, they had quite common Swiss last names, like Oberholzer. The next interesting bit is, as I speak some Swiss German, I could understand their German quite well and they were surprised that I could communicate with them in their old Swiss German. They are migrated from Bern and its surrounding apparently. Oh, btw, regarding the book "Why men love B****es", not all do, certainly not me =P
Have you noticed that there is a Dutch soccer player (character) in the Apple TV show, Ted Lasso. They keep saying that he's not rude, he's just Dutch.
"As hot as Dutch love" also refers to very hot weather :) Which other expressions do YOU know? Share them in the comments!
i never know that dutch can have a hot love. hahaha..
Hahaha @Peter CS
This slang sounds punk, alternative, indie 😅 the structure sentence is never related with the meaning 💋

This is similar to how the ancient Greeks and later Romans named the peoples and tribes that didn't speak Greek or Latin - '''barbarians'', because the language they spoke sounded to the Greeks like gibberish, represented by the sounds "bar..bar...bar...''
so sympatique, graag gedan als altijd
Just a short comment on the common origin of the words Dutch ( for from the Netherlands ) and Deutsch ( German in German ). For a long time there was no clear language divide. Certain consonant shifts led to High German as we know it now. The West Germanic language branches of the saxons and franconians who settled in what is now Northern Germany ( low saxon ) and the Netherlands ( partly low saxon, partly low-franconian ) didn't go through these shifts. You notice this even nowadays in the local dialects that have established a dialect continuum between both languages. It makes sense that the settlers in America who originated from Dutch/Deutschland were considered of the same root somehow.
Dutch baby is a very nice pancake from USA. But people who created this pancake were Germans 😅
Oooh, are they small pancakes?
@@learndutchwithkim no no, it’s a big one. Just google :) because it’s difficult to explain 😅
Cool terima kasih 🇮🇩teacher
Graag gedaan!
It might make you feel better but I’ve never heard of any of these negative stereotypes about Dutch people I’ve only heard that Dutch people are fun and like to party! I’m 42 years old from Philadelphia and I haven’t heard negative stereotypes about the Dutch
Oooh that’s nice!! Thank you 😊
and how about "Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich", the tax evasion scheme? love this content!
Haha nice!!!
YOU ARE SO FUNNY. I just love your character

Hi Kim we love being your "dutchies to be" im from South Africa and its fun hearing about countries and areas that speak Dutch, i grew up in a town called Ermelo which is another town named after a town in the Netherlands
Ooh so nice!! And happy to hear you like to be a dutchie to be!
yes please make a video about netherland history =====
HI. In Ukraine we have a special type of cheese name as "Holland's cheese". And its really very popular for more than 30 years expression.
A “Dutch oven” is just an unfortunate term because the actual cooking pot is very useful!
ik vind u les leuk om te kijken en volgen het was mooi
Dank je wel 😊
New York is full of places named after Dutch towns or Dutch names that have been Anglicized
Flushing - Vlissingen
Bushwick - Boswijck
Red Hook - Roode Hoek
Flatbush - Vlacke bos
New Utrecht - Nieuw Utrecht (doesn't really exist now but there's still New Utrecht Avenue)
Coney Island - Konijn Eiland (literally "Rabbit Island")
Staten Island - Staaten Eylandt
Midwood - Midwout
Nice!!!
Before the city became ‘New York’, it was called ‘Nieuw Amsterdam’. ‘Wall Street’ was ‘Walstraat’.
Bloomingdale, New Jersey (van Bloemendaal) can be added to the list too I think.
😂😂😂 Wat een leuk filmpje weer, Kim! Ik kan er altijd wel van genieten! Vooral de ‘Dutch Oven’! Hilarisch!🤣
😊 dank je ☺️
Thanks for another fun video Kim! Love your content 🥰
As an expat in Amsterdam, I always hear ‘Dutch direct’ to refer to the straightforwardness you mention. Also ‘clever clogs’ to refer to someone who’s a ‘smarty pants’ - maybe it’s got some Dutch roots?
Yes Dutch direct! I’ve not heard that but can imagine it being used!
Double dutch is an icecream flavor in the Philippines! 😋
Really? What does it taste like?
It’s vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and chocolate bits, filled with marshmallows and nuts (cashews). Creamy, crunchy, fluffy and fudgy! Super lekker! 😃
very interesting👌🤣🤣
I’m from NZ and no I’ve never heard that saying before. I’ve heard “Up the duff” which means your either pregnant or used like the expression “up a creek without a paddle”
Hahaha thanks!
I almost forgot about the term "Dutch Wink" . We might see some during the Olympics gymnastics competition. You can see lots of examples of the Dutch Wink at ua-cam.com/video/hVoQbt0sCyY/v-deo.html
I wonder if there will be a new term like "Dutch Gold" where someone thinks they won a race but came second ;) (For the record I'm a big fan of AVV)
in woodworking, a dutchman is a type of repair: ua-cam.com/video/5ss4FFpxXZ8/v-deo.html
Probably related to Dutch frugality.
Een veiling die van 'hoog naar laag' gaat (zoals de bloemenveiling bij Schiphol) noemen ze een 'Dutch Auction'. Het gaat in wezen tegenovergesteld van een 'normale veiling' waar klanten met elkaar 'omhoog' bieden. En in de VS hoor je wel eens iemand zeggen, tegen een kind bijvoorbeeld, 'You're in Dutch' en dat betekend dan 'You're in trouble'. Pas op; je bent stout geweest en nu ga ik je straffen: 'You're in Dutch'.
Wow that last one is hilarious! Thanks for sharing!
@@learndutchwithkim : Iets 'Dutch' wordt, zoals je goed uitlegde, vaak geassocieerd met 'iets slechts' (vanwege al dat geheibel met die Engelsen, etc.). Maar je kan ook zeggen: If it ain't Dutch; it ain't much!
That was a whole lot of Dutch 😀
Wow you’ve watched my video 😂😂😂
@@learndutchwithkim ik ben een grote fan van jou 😍
Thank you kim for the inforamtion. Also, the book George Orwell 1984 behind you is an interesting book to be read about the big brother, a book was written in 1949. regards
You’re welcome! And yes, I love that book!
Example of Dunglish: there is this migrant anecdote from Australia when a young expectant Dutch migrant couple in the 1960's with a limited command of English caused a sales lady in a department store to almost faint when the couple asked: "Doe joe sel ledikants (pronounced ladyc.nts) hier ?" (= do you sell baby cots here)
Hoeveel nieuwe dingen voor mij na dit video 😅 Dank u wel =)
"Dutchie" in Canada (or "Hollandaise" in French) will be known by most Canadians as a sweet square-shaped glazed doughnut with raisins popularized by the coffee shop chain, Tim Hortons. Not sure why it's called that, maybe it's loosely inspired by the oliebol? Although it's been recently replaced by the Apple Fritter which, sadly, is most definitely not as tasty.
Ref: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutchie_(doughnut)
The English imported jenever before making it themselfs (gin). When they needed some extra courage they drank jenever (later gin). Dutch courage is gin not a lack off courage from the Dutch. Maybe the stealing of their flagship is proof of real Dutch courage.
In the Middle ages, "Dutch" referred to all (germanic) languages on the continent. Only the Netherlands retained that "title". Dutch just meant "language of the people"
True. It was called Diets then
Afrikaans is called "Baby Dutch". And Nederlanders are sometimes referred to as "kaas koppe". Look up "Melktert". You will live it.
Hahaha, yes we also call ourselves “kaaskoppen”
To call Afrikaans 'baby dutch' is rather unkind. Although Afrikaans started out as kind of simplified Dutch it has evolved as a unique language in its own right over the years........Do you know that Afrikaans is easier to understand for the majority of Dutch people than most dialects spoken in the Netherlands ? !!
aaah I love your videos so much and it's so nice to see you are vegan as well!!
Thank you 😊
Dutch oven lol, that's the first term I've learnt from local farmers in s'Gravenpolder. I was like: there are no ovens in this room, only beds with sheets.
Hahahaha 😂
❤❤❤❤😊
Check out the place - "New Holland" in Saint Petersburg, Russia... Not literally Dutch but Holland ) and also I've heard of "Dutch disease" (without butt) - a term from economics
Oooh Nice to know it’s also there!!
Hi! I have not heard many of these phrases before: maybe they are Americanisms rather than Anglicisms? I had to look up Dutch oven in an American recipe and discovered it meant a casserole. These days Dutch courage is being re-told as a compliment to the Dutch who were the only ones brave enough to sail into plague-affected Britian in the 1600s, possibly delivering gin or under its influence! On a date, 'going Dutch' is also seen more as a matter of fairness and female equality rather than male stinginess these days.
Archaically there was a fabric called 'hollands', the term only (just about) existing nowadays as 'holland covers' which I think maybe the fitted dust covers used in a fancy building (such as a stately home) to cover furniture when it is not on display. A glass of hollands is also used to refer to gin, but only in historical literature.
Thank you for all your additions! Very nice! Maybe your right and the meaning slightly differs in England and the US :)
We say “beer muscles” for “Dutch courage”
Hahaha nice!
In Italy we say 'don't make the Portuguese (non fare il portoghese)' when you use something (usually a bus) without paying. I don't know if we have Italian sentences (expressions, way to say) against the Dutch.
Anyway I will buy a Dutch oven to cooking taste food for my wife.
Haha wow that’s funny as well! Thanks for sharing
even in spongebob cartoon, they have the flying dutchman ghost
Yes!!
ik ben nederlands xd
You're so helpful with Dutch pronunciation, let me return the favor: at 9:52, "characteristics" is /kar-IK-ter-is-tix/, not /kar-IS-ter-is-tix/. All the "c"s are hard.
Thank you! 😊
Yes, definitely interested in the history! Your channel is so much fun and so informative! People call me anDutchman yet. Of course they are no younger than 75 years old. Definitely already a Dutchie though.😎
I do have one question though. My dad was born in Friesland. His family has always said that they spoke a different language and they often acted as a different nationality all together, even though they were still in the Netherlands. Do different states of Holland still have different languages? I grew up very confused!
That’s a good question! Only Fries (the language in Friesland) is a separate languages. All the others are just Dutch dialects :)
go dutch
>Englishman
>calling out Dutch for having no taste
Only I find it funny?
😅😂
As a 30 year old English man I have never heard any of these English sayings other than "going Dutch" because my mam used to tell me to never do it on a first date (probably sound advice) 🤷🏻♀️
I also have an egg allergy but hopefully I can find some good vegan stroopwafels there once governments finally tell us it's safe to travel again 😒
It’s good advice indeed ;) some Dutch guys can learn from that!
het woord characteristic wordt uitgesproken als kerekturistik in het nederlands, dus je zegt de c's als k's.
Ja en dus schrijven we het als "karakteristiek". Maak het nou niet moeilijker dan het al is...
I'm from New Zealand and have never heard of 'Up the Dutch Shit.' If it's a saying then it's gotta be super old!
Yes probably!!
I've never once heard Dutch girl used in the context you shared, at least, never from a native spoken English perspective.
:) perhaps it’s not used everywhere or old fashioned
@@learndutchwithkim In fact, when I have heard it used it often is synonymous with beauty and the stereotype tall blonde girl. Perhaps it is colloquial to the British isles?
Isn't one of double dutch definitions refers to belgian and hollanders crowd?
Oh I don’t know!
First time i hear something about "drunk dutch". I'm polish and all my life in Nederland (10 years) i heard how much polish people drink and how big they are alcoholic... Dutch people drink often a wine, of biertje. And they still can talk that polish people drink more.. Is not nice for me, because I am polish and I dont drink. But if I looking at dutch people never I can imagine that these people can drink much 😁
Belanda van oranje ...
do the french or germans have any expressions about the dutch ?
I don’t know but probably yes! I will try to find out 😂
NL = nur Limo (just lemonade)
Dutch famous for buying cheap drinks, no beer or wine...
😂
Interesting, fun video. But I couldn't help wonder why exactly men DO love bitches! 😆
Anyway. As for the English having negative stereotypes about the Dutch and whether or not they like the Dutch, fear not. The English don't like *anyone* who isn't English, really. Not even the other inhabitants of the British Isles. Come to think of it, the inhabitants of the south of England don't even like the inhabitants of the north of England. So it's not just the Dutch! 🤣
And as for stroopwafels - my friend brought some over when she visited last August, and they were certainly lekker! After she left, I found some in my local Aldi store - manufactured here in Wales. So we've nicked your food too! 😁
Intelligente vrouens is aantreklik.
Greetings, you look beautiful even in AH store :)
Hoi maar ik ben wel nederlands
The Dutch not miserly? Do the words "Een koekje alleen" sound familiar Kim? Here in Australia you can have as many biscuits as you like provided you ask nicely! Nederlanders zijn krenterig!
Actually that is not entirely true. On my first try to Nederlands I took a tourist boat in Amsterdam in one of the krachten. I got talking to the boat's captain in Dutch who was a retired engineer and after ten minutes he asked 'wil je de boot sturen?' so I was allowed to steer a tourist boat through the canals, under the bridges and into the water near Centraal. An incredibly generous offer that most tourists and probably most Dutchies never get, and made to someone with no Dutch nationality or family background. The Dutch can be erg gezellig mensen.
Hahaha we zijn gezellig maar krenterig ;)
@@learndutchwithkim Thanks Kim. One quick suggestion. You have studied languages other than Dutch and achieved high proficiency. I would love to hear what method works for you as there is much discussion about different ways of learning languages on UA-cam.
Dutch elm disease! XD Some kind of disease an elm tree gets! XD Why the word; “Dutch” is in the name? I don’t know! 😝 Imagine if the tree explodes if it gets it? BOOM! 😝
It ain't much if it ain't Dutch. Maybe a modern sentence.
Nice one! What does it mean?
@@learndutchwithkim it's kind of saying that something or someone is not as good unless it is Dutch. I have seen t-shirts and mugs with this slogan.
This term seems to be popular mainly in the US.
Why in English ?
I think it is will better if you wil speak only on Dutch .
the english are not always very nice about all foreigners ...
Hahaha maybe it’s that!
Dutch courage is dronkenmans moed - when you're drunk and think you can manage anything. .........
Dutch concert = Hell of a noise...........Tight as a Dutchman = very stingy
Dutch Butt may have an ugly racial origin from South Africa. A Khoikhoian woman known by the offensive nickname "Hottentot Venus" was displayed as a kind of sideshow around the world.
Misschien de eerste tijd je is niet blij voor niet zijn ziek. Dikke billen, ha ha ha. Praten over de "ernstige" Dutch Butt Disease voor mannen en vrouwen.
Hoi Kim,
I'm quite parsh to a Dutch Brandy "Vieux"
Rottnest Island in Australia, where the quokkas live, was named by the Dutch, as when they saw the quokkas they thought they were big rats.
😳
always here to watch your video.. so funny.. groetjes van bijlmerdreef
Leuk! Groetjes terug!
I actually visited Lancaster, PA where there is a big Amish community and also met some in Las Vegas. The first thing that got my attention was the last names, they had quite common Swiss last names, like Oberholzer. The next interesting bit is, as I speak some Swiss German, I could understand their German quite well and they were surprised that I could communicate with them in their old Swiss German. They are migrated from Bern and its surrounding apparently.
Oh, btw, regarding the book "Why men love B****es", not all do, certainly not me =P
Oh that’s so nice!! How great :) and hahaha, lol about the book!
Have you noticed that there is a Dutch soccer player (character) in the Apple TV show, Ted Lasso. They keep saying that he's not rude, he's just Dutch.
😂😅 yes.. that’s what we say.. but sometimes it’s just actually rude :)
