Jij weet het net zo min als ik.

Bovenstaande zin neemt me minstens vijftig jaar terug in de tijd.

Nu zouden we zeggen: Jij weet het ook niet.
― breastcrawl, Saturday, 6 April 2019 12:01 (five years ago) link
Of preciezer: Jij weet er net zo weinig van als ik.

Dat zin komt woord voor woord uit het woordenboek.

Sure, it’s “correct”, just not casual in any way, shape or form. People will probably applaud you in admiration if you’d utter it!(het is “die zin” trouwens)

Ha, thanks was wondering about that.

A little on the new content added to the Spanish, French and English (for Spanish & Portuguese speakers) courses and how they align with CEFR levels, which is somewhat interesting though not very in depth: https://making.duolingo.com/how-are-duolingo-courses-evolving
Apparently these particular courses now cover to A2 level with the additional content. It says they aim to expand other languages to the same A2 level and to push the Spanish, French and English toward B1.

Please listen to Gorki. https://open.spotify.com/track/1AvAl5fj5mhoLHVo0to1xr?si=0h2Thu1fRJmBDcf-ivTEBgOne of the haunting songs in Belgian pop. The singer drank himself to death after his divorce.

Still doing french. Going more slowly. Mais ce n'est pas tellement difficile. The only prob: Don't know when to use en or à. :-(
― nathom, Sunday, 7 April 2019 17:13 (five years ago) link
Gorki-Mia. It's so beautiful.
But it is on YouTube.

xpost nathom, on youtube Learn French With Alexa is useful for very specific things like that. The videos are short enough and very clear. There might be other good online videos, but I really like how she explains things.

Thanks! *merciekes* as we say in dialect. ;-)

Almost done with the Dutch tree -those last two sentences are from the NL lesson- so you won’t have to watch me mangle your language for much longer.

At the risk of getting all *huggles*, I have really enjoyed working through this Dutch tree. There is something extra about this language that seems to have gotten a hook in me.
― Theory of Every Zing (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 18 April 2019 01:08 (five years ago) link
Haven’t got to the advanced part of Dutch-language culture yet to understand the appropriate balance of huggles and distance/irony
― Theory of Every Zing (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 18 April 2019 01:28 (five years ago) link
Depends on where you live. We don't do huggles here in West Flanders. I do though. But then I feel an outsider/buitenstaander.
― nathom, Thursday, 18 April 2019 07:12 (five years ago) link
A dialect word: muilen. (Lewd word for kissing. Mainly used in East Flanders)
― nathom, Saturday, 20 April 2019 10:38 (five years ago) link
That would be our Dutch “bekken”, I guess. Kissing as in French kissing, right?
― breastcrawl, Saturday, 20 April 2019 11:12 (five years ago) link
Wil jij dat ik gek word?
― Theory of Every Zing (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 20 April 2019 11:17 (five years ago) link
Sorry, that was the last sentence I got from Duo.
― Theory of Every Zing (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 20 April 2019 11:24 (five years ago) link
Oh god, bekken. Ewww. That sounds awful. But yeah, french kissing.
― nathom, Sunday, 21 April 2019 05:14 (five years ago) link
Sounds weird, "wil je dat ik gek word?"
