Dutch is not a language. The people who “speak” it are Germans who suffered severe head injuries. The place we call “the Netherlands” is a German hospital colony where those unfortunate people can live while they recover. That’s why it’s flat and everyone walks or rides bicycles; their head injuries make them unfit to drive cars or to manage difficult terrain.

/s, please don’t send the actual Dutch after me.
The Dutch are simply swamp Germans, best left to their own ways. Much like the mountain Germans you find between Bavaria and Italy.
Het is te laat, je hebt de Nederlanders opgeroepen, makker. Bereid je voor op k o l o n i s a t i e.

It is too late, you summoned the Dutch, mate. Prepare to be c o l o n i s e d.
How does “opgeroepen” translate to “summoned”??? It’s clearly “aufgerufen” - i.e. “invoked”. Smh my head.
As in all such matters, it is the German version which is wrong
I just read it as “called up”, though granted Dutch ain’t my first language (or even second),
Do you implement your healthcare system in your colonies? Also how likely are the colonizers to marry the locals and produce tall offspring?
Asking for a friend.
Dutch one is still semi private
First question: no, best we can do is force you to build dykes.
Second question: we wouldn’t actually visit you, we would hire your neighbors to subdue you.

Then again, this being Lemmy maybe you meant it as written!
Both spellings can mean wall for holding back water, and things spelled with a “y” are 20% cooler.
Bummer! Although an update to our water management infrastructure would be welcome.
This makes an incredible amount of sense so I can’t imagine the Dutch understanding what you’ve written.
Time to find out if I can ban fellow admins.
Trump v Musk reenactment!
New theory: the reason the Hogeweyk concept was effectively implemented in The Netherlands is because the entire country is that concept.
