Een internationale levering (Groot plaatje)

[Triple a]

Now I'm interested!  

Hmm, well you make good friends, are the most sociable group I've visited in my pamphlet quest....

Here's something. I've heard some say the American's were like the French .That's an evil insult and about as low as you can get. If you comapre us to the French you probably would be threatening me with large blades.

vriendin probably means "next victim"

"Alle nieuwtjes over het forum komen hier." probably means all newbies come here to be locked in a dungeon

[ChibiFirli]

ack, she's on to us! >_>

change dialects!

*hides*

That's a weird comparisson! For one, the French completely refuse to speak English, something you cannot accuse Americans of

Not yet.

I seem to encounter such comparisons when talking to any European. Personally, I think the American/French personal feud is ridiculous, especially when it gets to the point of renaming things like french fries. But still, don't insult me by saying I'm like the French . I suppose maybe the rest of the world just sees both the French and the Americans as being stubborn and thats where the comparison lies.

You mean after all my posts here you think I don't completely refuse to speak English? Where have i been going wrong.....Oh.   Ma duc in oraº.

we will scold
we will curse
we shall scald



I'm doubting its that tame though

[Jovi_Hobbes]

Literally it says something like: are you throwing abuse at me (and now I really hope that my translation makes sense  )
But what we mean by it is: what on earth are you saying? It's something we say when somebody uses a very difficult or incomprehensible word. Aren't languages funny?

well the computer seems to have taken away my "s" with a squiggle on it, but what I was saying was "I'm going to town." 

I'll let you find out which language I was using on your own 

[Jovi_Hobbes]

I really should be able to do that because quite a few years ago I've had some lessons in language recognition, but I'm too lazy to try and find the textbook    My guess is that it might be Latin or Spanish. Is that even close?

I didn't even know that expression . Must be something purely dutch, or maybe I'm just linguistically impaired .

well it is a romance language.

[Jovi_Hobbes]

Alright! But which one... Guys, I need some help here!

Let's find out if other Dutch or Belgian members do know the expression, before we declare you linguistically impaired 

Dus: wie kent de uitdrukking "gaan we schelden"?

I think it's Romanian (still had some old linguistics textbooks from uni )

Die ken ik ja. Volgens mij is het niet een puur Nederlandse uitdrukking.

[Ereinion]

I also know what 'gaan we schelden' means.
