Funny thing about peanut butter, indeed in dutch it is pindakaas, wich translates to peanut cheese. this is because "butter" used to be a copyrighted term in the netherlands. that's why they changed it to "pindakaas".

[jacquelinevanderkooij]

Never heard of schaamstukje.
Paraplu is actual french (para=against and plu=rain)

[helenehuydecooper]

My friends husband thought schatje was a terrible also. He liked the word lieveling a lot better. Pity he often got confused with the word viezerik instead.

[merlingallagher]

Verschrikkelijk, which means terrible, is I think one of the most terrible words to pronounce. Which is ironic.

fynny to compare 'long distance relationship' to 'lange-afstandsrelatie'. And then say the dutch word is soooo long! Both the english and the dutch term are long!!!

Kont(je), one of the reason the Dutch Rabobank is not present in Portugal... Rabo = kont in Portuguese. They were not amused. Ass bank? No way...

[miraij]

What I found funny is that she said langeafstandsrelatie strange was. But litterally translated it’s
Lang = long
Afstand = distance
Relatie = relationship

So it’s litterally just long distance relationship but put together XD

[ElProf]

"Langeafstandsrelatie" vs "Long distance relationship" seems about the same length to me XD

[Uuuuuuurrgggggghhhhh]

Amazing how good they all pronounce the words! Respect for that because these are not easy words. Nice video, as allways....

[Choco-pasta]

2:37 hilarisch die twee 😁, nooit over nagedacht dat 'hèhè' iets typisch Nederlands was.

[meggink]

The reason we say pindakaas and not pindoboter is because for something to be called butter in the Netherlands it needs to have a certain percentage of fat. Thats also why less fat butter never has the word boter on it, but 'lekker op brood' (tasty on bread) or smeerbaar met olijfolie (idk how to translate that, its too weird) for example.

Zo leuk, deze video's! Maar ik heb werkelijk nog nooit gehoord van 'schaamstukje'!

[Caprifool]

I love the word sinasappelsap! It's so nice to say it. And it's so cute when you put tje or je after someone's name that you like. It sounds so loving 😊💕

[Leto]

Brilliant one once again!
It reminds me of 'Hunting lazy horse' anyone, or just 'jachtluipaard'.

[mariusb]

Lange afstandsrelatie ... ??
Ik begrijp werkelijk het probleem niet.
