Learn Dutch and more!

The birth of a virtual entity on the Steem blockchain.

Our own language

Yes, true, there is no Dutchland, it did not excist, it never was real. Until now that is! Because from now on anything Dutch related will now have a place that does excist. Dutchland, the virtual entity that is a reality on the Steem blockchain. And soon it will have its own Token too!

Of course, we need our own language, as virtunauts of the Dutchland entity. And what do you know, it already is as real as the Klingon language! Also it is quite similar to Nederish, you know the language that people from Nederland speak. So they might have an advantage here. Just like they have with speed skating at the Olympics. Dang those canals in Amsterdam, they are everywhere and perma frosted. To me that spells: rigged game.

First lesson

As the weather is an important part to speak about in Dutchland it will be part of our first lesson. Yes, an important part of socializing in Dutchland is knowing how to speak weather.

Being able to forecast it is even like a bliss. We do have things that we put under the will of the third person's perspective, like: "They want to have rain for tomorow." Do not reply with: "Who wants that, I don't, was there a vote on this?" It is just wierd to do that, are you from Holland? Just don't do it, 'kay?

Well, here it is the first important Dutch sentence, we will be using this quite a lot in Dutchland:

"Het is steenkoud buiten."

Translated into English: "It is stonecold outside."

Please do not over analize this, stones get cold when it freezes, okay?

Now, how does it sound when you say it like a true Dutchlander?
Well just say it in the English way like this:

"Hat is staincowt boitan."

It's close enough, so now it is time to practise! It really is though, you know, it is stonecold outside overhere. Ah well, have to dash now tataa...

Have a great one!

It is stonecold outside
