Every (and yes, i do mean ALL of them) Dutch mother says the same thing when the kids complain about having to go through the rain. "You are not made of sugar; you won't melt". If rain would stop us, we would never get anything done here so it's just not an option. If it rains, you put on your rain poncho and trousers and cycle on!
@@merilicious1594 Nowadays i have to tell it to myself but occasionally I can almost hear her and it makes me smile. No matter how old you get, you are always your mother's child.
The Senz is a brilliant umbrella, because it withstands the high winds we have often, whereas the normal ones will get destroyed quickly. I own one, and it's still alive after 12 years (and it's orange😂😂).
The weird umbrella is a storm umbrella that keeps its shape in windy conditions, so that it doesnt break by the wind. Which happens a lot with the 'normal' umbrella.
This is the answer! This umbrella turns into the wind basically and is reinforced. You hold it in front of you so you are in the cover compared to how the wind blows the rain.
About the bicycle in rain, we actually don’t care much, if it rains we put on rain coats and all that, we still go on the bike. And just at a side note, we are probably the best in the world at complaining at the weather. No matter what the weather is. If the sun is out, it’s to hot, if it rains it’s to wet, if it snows it’s to cold. Etc.
i hate cycling against cold strong wind and rain in autumn most, where you're simultaneously trying to keep from getting cold, but are sweating because of the effort it takes, and the sun comes out every x minutes, so you keep fiddling the zipper on your coat halfway up and down to compensate, such a faff. i'll take a bit of rain over a strong headwind any day, but they generally come together in autumn lol also, honorable mention for hailstorms, they don't happen too often, and usually only last like 5-10 minutes per storm, but boy does it suck getting caught in one lol
@@pepijn22333444455555 i hate cycling in general 🤣 just as i hate most cyclists on the road, especialy those racing in a group with their tight gay suits. Never paying attention to the road, always cycling in such way that they block you from passing them safely and many more reasons to follow.
Oh and we are well trained by our parents from childhood on. “You’re not made of sugar, so you won’t melt out there. You just get wet,.. that’s all”! When you grow up, every other year you get a new rain suit (that would fit) so you can bike to school back and forth and don’t be wet all day in school. And we complain hard when it’s sunny too! It’s too hot or it’s not good for nature and we need to water the garden too much. Complaining about the weather it’s the number one “bonding” thing to just make contact with someone and do small talk.
The "nasa" umbrella is shaped that way because of the wind. It has a smaller chance of being blown away and by holding it in front of you you can also bike with it
on top of the fact that most people use the normal umbrella's wrong and this one comes with instructions XD. they sometimes keep normal umbrella's straight over their heads while they should actually aim it at the place the rain/wind comes from. so basically you angle your umbrella in such a way that the rain will hit you the least instead of just holding it above your heads.
4:20 Germanic languages can Fusion words. And yes, the first series all has different meanings for wind, precipitation, duration and cloud cover. The second series is just cussing out the weather, giving impressions for just how rainy it is and how angry the curser :D 5:40 The Netherlands used to be swamp. It wants to go back to being swamp. We will not let it.
As a foreigner living in the Netherlands for over 10 years I only can say IT IS ALL TRUE😂🤣😂 When the weather app shows 18C we always check what it really feels like, most probably 15C😂
That apps are not predictable. Just loop up to the sky.😂 The colour and form of the clouds tells what's going to fall down and how much. (Rain, thunderstom, snow) The area and winddirection tell if it's going to come to where you are. Rivers, forests and mountains (you know, the ones on holiday) do not let small rain-clouds pass. And the windspeed and sometimes rivers tell how long it is going to take before you get wet. It is fairly easy if you know the area.😊
Can I just say, I think you’re such a lovely person. Your vibe is just so pure, happy and kind ⭐️ And yes, I’m a dutchie, I use all those words. No kiddin’. And it does exactly describe the type of rain (how big the drops are), what the sky looks like (intense dark grey or light blue-ish), how long it’s going to last etc etc.
Ah, Turks Fruit. The young and wild Verhoeven makes an experimental, grim, pornographic movie about sex and cancer based on a scandalous novel and it's the most successfull movie in Dutch history. About a quarter of the population went to the cinema when it came out.
The guy in the black poncho was putting words in front of weather: shitty weather, crappy weather. We like all the different kinds of rain, just to be able to complain about it in detail. You always try to keep your umbrella against the wind, otherwise it can break, but it also limits the visibility. The umbrella shown helps with that.
Parents tell the kids : go to school on your bike. Reign is just water, you won’t melt! See you this afternoon. Bye!” Seriously. Every kid hears that And So we learn to deal 😅
Hahaha it's not that bad. People in the Netherlands are very spoiled. They have everything their heart desires. So they complain a lot about the weather. The weather often varies from day to day. And if you plan to have a picnic it will rain 🌧
Paul, the rain brings us good things too. Despite a lot of rain we had during 3 years a shortage of sweet water in the soil. We can only hope that we will come to the necessary equilibrium. Sometimes we have long times without rain and some years we have a lot of rain. So it is changeable over the years.
Normal starter of a conversation at the supermarket, with your neighbor, at the baker, at the trainstation: nice/bad/snowy/warm/rainy weather today, don’t you think? Choose what’s applicable 😂🤣
This is so true 😂. Wait and see the difference between motregen and stortregen. I use 95% of the words depending on the amount of rain I have seen in the past days 😇
3:33 I’m Dutch. And yes. It’s true 6:34 the point of the shape is so it is stronger for when you’re walking in the storm, so the wind won’t break the umbrella, or fold it. That’s why it’s called a “storm paraplu’ what translates to ‘storm umbrella’.
Hahahaha I am from the Netherlands and hearing all those words to basically just describe “rain” is hilarious to me. And yes I’ve used probably all of them at one time or another but not in the same hour. There is slight nuance between those words, but it basically describes rain in one form or another.
we also ride our bike during rain. Everybody bikes to school. I bike 4 km (30 minutes) to school, but i know people that need to bike 12 km to school. But we always bike, during: rain, hail, storm, thunder, sun, freezing, snow, mist and everything where you can think of. My parents would say: 'just put a rainsuit on and bring a towel with you'. But it always rains in every season. I personlly love rain in the summer, because it gives mee a good feeling!
Fun fact, when it's sunny weather in the summer. We complain aswell. (Wrote this before the video ended😂) On a serious note though, the last few years, the weather is taking a turn for the worst. Heavy rainfall is flooding parts of northern Europe annually and increasingly. Also, like in the US, wildfires due to periods of heat and draught have also become an item. And because our 'below sea-level' situation, most of us take climate change pretty serious.
All of those words for bad weather are definitely known to me and I've heard them more than once. Usually I just stick with 'kutweer' myself. And yeah... we really do complain about every type of weather as well... sun, wind, rain, snow, hail, thunderstorms, cloudy skies... we're alright with it for 5 minutes, but then we just complain again. Often times in the summer I pass someone in the street and they'll randomly tell me 'god it's warm, isn't it?' and I'll be like 'yeah... it's summer, it's definitely warm. Don't worry, soon it'll be winter and we'll be able to complain about the cold.' and then I'll walk on.
i never realised that everything in this video is true... 😂😂😂😂 if you don't know how to start a conversation, talk about the weather! And yes we do need a lot of words to describe all the sorts of rain.... never thought about it, but i do use them all...... thanx for the lesson of today!
Hehe yea, I was in Amsterdam once when it was raining at first and I was like "Not a big deal" and many people were also like that at first, but people you walked past had this smile on their face like "Good god what afwul weather!" and then it started hailing and people took shelter in the entrances of shops and you were hearing "The rain wasn't that bad but this hail, no thank you!" and when it picked up a bit more you heard people go "Oh of course, just kick it up a notch! We weren't having bad weather before!" :P.
Yep. I use those words. Like.. all of them. Most when I'm pissed it's raining because it's already raining for days or only when I have to go outside or something🤣
The other day we looked out the window and our upstairs neighbor was dancing in the rain with his clothes on, my daughter joined him and we just watched nice and dry ourselves. One big rainy family up here in Groningen!
That "crazy half umbrella" is a Senz umbrella. It is a Dutch design and it is really usefull in stormy rainy Dutch weather. The Senz umbrella is aerodynamic in such a way that it can be used with windspeeds above 100 km/h (60 m/h). They even tested this umbrella on a motorcycle while driving. It doesn't break and it keeps itself horizontal. Just search on youtube to see how clever it actually is. I have one of these on my bike. If it rains, it keeps your face and torso dry in all different types of rain. Works perfectly, although not everybody is capable of cycling while holding an umbrella in one hand. It requires some proper Dutch cycling acrobatics ;)
Typical Dutch expression "you're not made of sugar" or "you won't melt" aka a little rain (or a lot) doesn't hurt you one bit. Add to that cycling to school/college/university for years on end, and for some reason always with the wind in your face is more than enough training to last a lifetime. There's good things about it too, coming home from school or from playing outside all wet and cold (like drenched) and getting into nice dry clothes and your mom (or dad) having a warm cup of tea ready when you get downstairs again makes you really appreciate those moments. Despite all the complaining I actually like that sort of weather and I bet I'm not the only Dutch person who (secretly, perhaps) feels that way.
My dad always used to say that if you can survive the Dutch weather, you can survive anything. It can rise close up to 40 and it can go down below 20. O, and i almost forgot : Hot one day, cold the next, pretty normal.
Regarding the senz umbrella: the point of it is that it's supposed to be resistant to turning inside out in the wind. The other point is the weather man ("Just kidding!!"): his name is Erwin Krol. And in his day he was *INCREDIBLY* famous (the first news celebrity we had in The Netherlands). At one point he left the network for a few months ("time for something new" before he changed his mind) and it was national news....
Love you man, lmfao! There is no language with so many swearing words then Dutch, almost any word can be combined… crazy language we have, but ohhhh, so fun! 😂🥰😜 also, because of the that, we have the most swearing words according to any language…. Don’t know if that’s a good thing, but still outrageous for me…. 🤪
Lol, it ain't that bad, the weather is good for nature, most of the time farmers cry because it ain't raining for months, we had a couple of heatwaves the last years and no real winters. 🥳
6:35 The Senz umbrella is shaped like a Stealth Fighter and can withstand storms of up to 100 km/h. If you manage to hold on to it under those conditions.
The usage of so many words, in my case, is determining how big the effect of the weather is for the plans I have. For example, if it's "baggerweer" and I need to travel far, I will change the time of leaving and let the other people know I come in later because of the "baggerweer".
Yeah we do use all those words, lmao Also the weird umbrella is a storm umbrella, the shape is meant to not break as fast with high speed winds and they’re pretty expensive
We had a blizzard last winter! It was awful! Two inches of snow and it stayed in the streets for ten days! Just horrific! But the total of 'water from heaven' is 870 mm a year in average. That's about 2.3 mm a day. It rains 240 days a year, but that includes days with a little drizzle for 10 minutes. And the evening showers after a warm day (August and September), which cools everything down and last a half hour, afterwards you can sit on a refreshed terrace again, and enjoy the breeze. Days with constant rain are limited, usually in November and February. Most dry days are in May, June and July. That is why the Netherlands are GREEN all year round, hardly any forest fires, and wild flowers in almost every season.
Holy ships your blizzard was worse than the one we had over here last year (Zeeuws-Vlaanderen): just under an inch of snow which lasted for TWO WHOLE DAYS seriously I was afraid we wouldn't make it!
3:37 all of these words are actually real, and describe different properties of the rain. Like how heavily it is raining, what kind of rainy weather it is, how humid it is, etc. He wasn't joking when he said that we have more words for bad weather in Dutch than eskimo have words. The man at the end, at 4:04 is just rattling off ways to swear/cuss at the weather. Those aren't actual words but ways we complain when it is raining.
Is is not raining every day. We have lots of nice weather as well. But when your planning something you always have a back up plan for bad weather. And it never hurts to have a umbrella at hand for when needed.
yes, I have used all those words at least once. Some way more than others this has to do with what kind of conversation or to whom you are speaking or how you feel. And as a Dutch person you know exactly what the weather is like with the word that is used.
And then I moved to the West of Scotland, and discovered that really, the Netherlands has really not all that much rain and wind. Btw, the Rain Embracer is the late great Rutger Hauer
6:31 This umbrella is specificly made to be used in high weather without flipping over, thats why the front is smaller and sturdier reducing air resistance a bit
2:32 King Willem-Alexander (right), queen Maxima (behind the king) and their first daughter Amalia. Correct, we all have these words for bad weather. The point of that umbrella is that it's designed to withstand heavy gusts of wind.
I'm Dutch and we use almost all of those descriptions. Depending on the person. Also the different descriptions (till zondvloed) are differents kinds of rain. Not every rain is the same :P.
They integrated well as they are complained about the weather well. It does rain plenty but there are some decent sunny days too. And yeah all the words and more are used.
exactly right just wait 5 minutes is usually the trick. the odds of cycling in the rain are pretty low but I do not want to say how low I do not know the exact number anymore.
Every (and yes, i do mean ALL of them) Dutch mother says the same thing when the kids complain about having to go through the rain. "You are not made of sugar; you won't melt". If rain would stop us, we would never get anything done here so it's just not an option. If it rains, you put on your rain poncho and trousers and cycle on!

The "nasa" umbrella is shaped that way because of the wind. It has a smaller chance of being blown away and by holding it in front of you you can also bike with it

There is no language with so many swearing words then Dutch, almost any word can be combined… crazy language we have, but ohhhh, so fun! 😂🥰😜 also, because of the that, we have the most swearing words according to any language…. Don’t know if that’s a good thing, but still outrageous for me…. 🤪
Fun fact: the guy who's face was licked was Rutger Hauer in the movie called "Turks Fruit" (Turkish Delight) from way back in the seventies.
oh, it's true. and watching this as someone from the netherland it even made me realize its insaine how many words we have for bad weather!
I love the rain/sun/i love nature.
Each weather have his charm😉
Because we Dutch ain't build from sugar, we go out on our bikes no matter what weather....but we loveeeee to complain about the weather! 🤣😂🤣😂
Lol, it ain't that bad, the weather is good for nature, most of the time farmers cry because it ain't raining for months, we had a couple of heatwaves the last years and no real winters. 🥳
there was snow in April..
Yay?
@@Itza-Me Yay.
Ah man! I laughed so hard because of some absurdity and the reactions! 🤣
We dont wait for the weather to change because you might be waiting all day. Nope simply put, buckle up buttercup and get biking 😜
6:35 The Senz umbrella is shaped like a Stealth Fighter and can withstand storms of up to 100 km/h. If you manage to hold on to it under those conditions.
The usage of so many words, in my case, is determining how big the effect of the weather is for the plans I have. For example, if it's "baggerweer" and I need to travel far, I will change the time of leaving and let the other people know I come in later because of the "baggerweer".
6:30 It's a storm umbrella, for rain with strong wind. 😆
Yeah I guess I used most of the 'rain' words throughout life lol, until I had enough and moved to the sunny Dutch Caribbean 🏝🌞
Oh yes I use almost all the words. We always fricking complain about the weather🤣
Yeah we do use all those words, lmao
Also the weird umbrella is a storm umbrella, the shape is meant to not break as fast with high speed winds and they’re pretty expensive
I indeed use alot of those words for the weather. And we always talk (complain) about the weather.
Yes we Dutch have that many words for rain 😍😍😍
And yes we use them
We had a blizzard last winter! It was awful! Two inches of snow and it stayed in the streets for ten days!
Just horrific!
But the total of 'water from heaven' is 870 mm a year in average. That's about 2.3 mm a day.
It rains 240 days a year, but that includes days with a little drizzle for 10 minutes.
And the evening showers after a warm day (August and September), which cools everything down and last a half hour, afterwards you can sit on a refreshed terrace again, and enjoy the breeze.
Days with constant rain are limited, usually in November and February. Most dry days are in May, June and July.
That is why the Netherlands are GREEN all year round, hardly any forest fires, and wild flowers in almost every season.
Zat er POKKEWEER, ook tussen? Zo'n dag met KUTREGEN?
Holy ships your blizzard was worse than the one we had over here last year (Zeeuws-Vlaanderen): just under an inch of snow which lasted for TWO WHOLE DAYS seriously I was afraid we wouldn't make it!
You're supposed to aim the umbrella in the direction of the wind xD
if you're just gonne hold it above you, you're still gonne get wet hair :P
Yes! I use all of these words.
I used most of the words today; it was an especially changing weather type today 😬
It's true... we do use all of these words describing the weather😂
@6:30 its a storm umbrella they are great, they do not get torn appart by wind, which next to rain is probably even more common
The SENZ umbrella is the best, it's windproof and doesn't fold up so it gives you the best protection against the rain.
3:37 all of these words are actually real, and describe different properties of the rain. Like how heavily it is raining, what kind of rainy weather it is, how humid it is, etc.
He wasn't joking when he said that we have more words for bad weather in Dutch than eskimo have words.
The man at the end, at 4:04 is just rattling off ways to swear/cuss at the weather. Those aren't actual words but ways we complain when it is raining.
Is is not raining every day. We have lots of nice weather as well. But when your planning something you always have a back up plan for bad weather. And it never hurts to have a umbrella at hand for when needed.
As a Dutch this is so funny 🤣😂😂 People be looking 👀 "you good there?" Yea! We actually use those words 🤣🤣🤣
yes, I have used all those words at least once. Some way more than others this has to do with what kind of conversation or to whom you are speaking or how you feel. And as a Dutch person you know exactly what the weather is like with the word that is used.
We actually use all of them and i am crying of laughter😂
And then I moved to the West of Scotland, and discovered that really, the Netherlands has really not all that much rain and wind. Btw, the Rain Embracer is the late great Rutger Hauer
True, in the army i went to Scotland for wet weather training
I have an umbrella like that too! It's so much better when it's windy, otherwise you look like Mary Poppins in a storm :P.
Yes we use them all. 😂 Not all words were words for rain though, also just descriptions for bad weather.
Remarkably the area that is most prone for fludding , Zeeland, there’s also the most sun hours.
I loved that men HxC good humor.
Ohh so true,🌤⛈🌦🌧🌩🌨 and summertime is almost over😒😝
6:31 This umbrella is specificly made to be used in high weather without flipping over, thats why the front is smaller and sturdier reducing air resistance a bit
Yes! I used all of the above words for rain 😂😜 true story
2:32 King Willem-Alexander (right), queen Maxima (behind the king) and their first daughter Amalia.
Correct, we all have these words for bad weather.
The point of that umbrella is that it's designed to withstand heavy gusts of wind.
its true, we have so many words for rain
I'm Dutch and we use almost all of those descriptions. Depending on the person. Also the different descriptions (till zondvloed) are differents kinds of rain. Not every rain is the same :P.
that piano song is from my music teacher!!!! Im dutch, his name is jan baars.
They integrated well as they are complained about the weather well. It does rain plenty but there are some decent sunny days too. And yeah all the words and more are used.
YES WE USE ALL THESE WORDS
An umbrella is tricky in the Netherland because of the wind, we have that to 😉
All those words are true! And i use allot off those words 🙈😬Greetings from the Netherlands 👋🏻😊
As a dutch person i personally use like 90% of the rain related words
No we,ve got a lot of words for the rain. We re not joking🤣🤣🤣
Yess whe do there is a different word for every kind of rain and yes most of us use them all😅
exactly right just wait 5 minutes is usually the trick.
the odds of cycling in the rain are pretty low but I do not want to say how low I do not know the exact number anymore.
as a person form the netherlands il love this
That’s a special umbrella designed by a Dutchman to walk in the wind.
