Jeroen's expression when he has closed the cookie box: fantastic. I have laughed so much through the video.😆

In my part of Canada, a huge inflow of interesting Dutch people since the Big flood in '53. They ALWAYS have the best cookies ... But few have become victims of the obesity epidemic. Now I know why.

And, from now on, when visiting, I will only take one cookie.

Your lessons are hilarious & useful. Sorry I waited so long to begin learning the language of what might, right now, be the most clever people on Earth.

And, please keep coming!. All 18 million are most welcome here.

I’m from UK, when I lived in Netherlands I never noticed the 1 biscuit rule, it was always suggested to take as much as I wanted! The not showing up without appointment, I’m not sure because I would always make appointments but quite often my Dutch friends would show up at my house unexpected, but always welcome! The tikie is definitely true 😂 and so is the planning everything. I found it odd that they would personally congratulate me for the birthdays of relatives, instead of asking to pass the congratulations on them!

[ianjackson]

That one about not only congratulating the birthday boy/girl was the shocker to me lol.
I did not know that at all

[MeriadocMyr]

For this first one, you should be aware that this only applies when someone offers you one from a closed container as shown. If they just have a platter sitting in the open you can take what you like (within reason).
Coming over without an appointment is something you can get away with if you are particularly close. but people certainly prefer a heads up.
If you walk on the cycle path you are a bad person.

On the being late one you can get away with being late if you send a message ahead letting people know you will be late. As long as they have actual confirmation you will be showing up people will wait for you.

Splitting the restaurant bill shouldn't come as a surprise to English speakers since we use the expression "go Dutch" for this 😂

[damianoprato]

The ´dove devo andare pe trovare sto coffeeshop´ made it for me... ahahahahah

[pepsicolla]

Deze video was heel erg leuk en grappig! Ik heb eindelijk geleerd wat een tikkie betekent haha! 😁 Heel erg bedankt voor jullie fantastische werk Easy Dutch team. Greetings from Lithuania

[aexe]

Thanks for this instructive video! 🙂
Also I showed this to my Dutch friend, and after watching 6:10, he agreed that it was "just plain rude" and that you always say "gefeliciteerd" to the family and friends.

[Antonioable]

Lekker video, guys!
It's a great idea to show the real situations as well as local traditions.
You did amazing!
I like this format and also interviews on the streets, so I could see how people communicate in real life.
Much success to you!

Always remember there are exceptions, I'm Dutch and if you don't take away the cookie box from me I won't stop eating them😂 and ofc I won't mind if you do the same when you're visiting my place😂💕

[EasyGreekVideos]

Really funny video! Laughed out loud at the cookies and the appointments.

[Kingsman]

I am from south africa and Dutch & Afrikaans are sister languages I understand Dutch 50% because most words that's in Dutch is in afrikaans aswell

[agathoklesmartinios]

Misschien kunnen jullie in de toekomst eenzelfde video maken over Vlaanderen. Kan interessant zijn om te zien of er opmerkelijke verschillen zijn.

[muhammedirice]

Jullie video's zijn grappiger en leerzamer geworden. Ik vind het erg leuk

[marielvanhees]

Bij een feestje altijd eerst vragen en niet zomaar op een stoel zitten, het is zeker al het plekje van iemand anders en die laat je het ook meteen weten wanneer die terug komt. "hej mag ik weer op mijn stoel zitten?" of op z'n Brabants "Gadegij ins oew eiguh stoel ins pakken?"

[dirtyhannie]

Het niet lopen op het fietspad is een randstad ding. In de polder heb je vaak alleen een fietspad, dus dan heb je weinig keus.

[bepsnet]

Ik heb inderdaad één familielid die de koektrommel weghaalt na een koekje gegeven te hebben, maar dat is op een grote familie de enige die dit doet. Bij mij mag je alles opeten, ik vergeet dat ik koekjes heb en zou het zonde vinden om ze weg te gooien, dus je krijgt ze zelfs mee bij het weggaan.

Cyclists are supposed to share the cycling path if there's no sidewalk, aren't they? Love planning even if it's a few minutes in advance it may be all we need to clean up a couple of things and get dressed, maybe freshen up before someone comes, so that's a great Dutch costume. One cookie (or slice of cake or whatever) is something funny and unusual for many of us coming from other places. I found that out at a birthday party, they asked which cake I wanted (there was a LOT of cake) and I thought it was for the first slice, so I'd have a second of the other one (you know, because we use to have at least a piece of most things in a party where I come from so it doesn't look like we didn't like something, even if we only get a sample to say we tried it). Nope, cake went away after I made my choice LOL. Glad I didn't have the opportunity to make a mistake and get a second piece while annoying everybody nearby with my faux pas 😂

Fantastisch filmpje. Nederlanders houden er niet van als je tijdens het eten komt.
