🇳🇱 American cCouple Learn How to Speak Dutch! | The Demouhets REACT The Netherlands

[@itllbe]

Indeed. Both Dutch and English are members of the Germanic languagetree and therefor will have many similarities in grammar. In opposite to French, Italian and Spanish etc who feel less familiar because they are from the Roman languagetree. Further to the east in Europe the languages become Slavic.

[@JanuzTrance68]

I hate to tell you this, but in the Netherlands, besides from large deer and wild boars, we also do have (some) wolfs running around in the wild. So not just little foxes and squirrels

[@taal1979]

@@JanuzTrance68 Some wolves? The Netherlands currently has eleven wolf packs and two solitary wolves. Ten packs have confirmed that cubs have been born. In total, at least 55 wolf cubs have been confirmed this year. And this in a nation that is twice the size of the state of New Jersey.

Love you both trying to speak dutch. But i have to say that you both as a couple are realy very loving and gentle to each other, and i love that. We dutch people can learn that from you. Greetings from the Netherlands and have a nice day.

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

[@lawtraf8008]

Hey, I'm trying to learn Dutch.

[@helenooft9664]

@@lawtraf8008 People in the Netherlands appreciated when you learn Dutch and living in the Netherlands, greetings, and good luck.

[@Roastedbread]

American English actually has some Dutch loan words due to New York being New Amsterdam before. Like the word “cookie” which comes from “koekje”, “bluffing” from “bluffen” etc

[@glennheuts407]

Dankjewel not Dank je vel(thank your skin)😂😂😂

[@eliasnestor9482]

In Afrikaans they say baie dankie

[@taal1979]

Dutch word for airport is actually Luchthaven (air = lucht and port = haven). The word "Vliegveld" is usually meant to indicate a small airport.

[@bretho011]

This would actually help when you come to South Africa.

[@JanuzTrance68]

As a Dutch person i don't understand why the are writing the W as a V in the Dutch pronunciation in the video. Because it is just NOT. For example: The W in Windmill is the same as the W in Windmolen. Just pronounced a bit shorter in tone.

[@mazi2646]

Your pronunciation is very good :) I liked you have some fun with learning this.

[@sannevandenheuvel5635]

Our G is hard isn't it? And The language closest to Dutch is actually English, we also have a lot in common with German. We also have some words straight up borrowed from other languages whenever we or they invaded. (English and French mostly). We also have some wolves these days btw, but they aren't with a lot and you won't find them in the bigger cities. Also foxes don't come up to people here! Also if you try to speak Dutch and we reply in English please don't think we are rude, we are trying to accommodate you haha. Hope you can visit some old city centers here, they are the prettiest.

[@FrankDijkstra]

Also also also

[@MartinTheBear]

My g is soft and this almost arabic hard g is just ugly

[@annalieb.9493]

Hahaha, Dee's Goede morgen was in a great Dutch dialect. Vliegveld was pretty good. You two are getting the guteral G, nice

[@baby28girl]

You guys did actually pretty good 😅 I have to be honest our language is pretty difficult because we use German dutch French and English all together.

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Thank you!

[@dgraveth]

Our beer is in the zoo, a beer is a bear😉

[@juanitao722]

I still believe. lol. Alstublieft. For thank you you could also say “dank je”

[@Ron-id1ze]

Alstublieft actually means ‘ if you please’

[@Diegotheparrot]

Lol you actually said good morning in Afrikaans at one point. Goeiemore.

[@Yochemm]

Dutch is a germanic langues, so is English... That's why words look like each other... England and The Netherlands have as neighbors influenced each other and the English brought it to the US. PS. The Dutch have also an (political) history in the US, so that's why the senate in the US still vote with "Yah" (Ja) & "Neh" (Nee).

[@vk88864]

I learn a lot from you two. And I like that you cover many cultures ❤

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

We're glad to have you on this journey with us!

[@gerhard6105]

Veld is field. Roosevelt: field of roses....simple...simpel. Vliegen is flying. A fly is a vlieg.

[@Arti-iChi]

Afrikaans ( South African language originated of Dutch settlers ) so understood the words said in video.. just like veld (field) and vlieg (fly) is is exactly the same spelling and meaning in Afrikaans

[@gerhard6105]

@Arti-iChi Ja, wij begrijpen elkaar erg makkelijk. Het Afrikaans klinkt voor ons als Nederlands uit de 17e eeuw. Ik had een college die daar vandaan kwam. De mensen in de video snappen nog niet de onze talen zeer veel overeenkomende woorden hebben. Ik heb al aardig wat voorbeelden voor ze getypd. Ik kom trouwens uit een Transvaal buurt. Meerdere steden in Nederland hebben zo een buurt. Die zijn gebouwd tussen ongeveer 1885 en 1905. Je vindt er straatnamen zoals Paul Krugerstraat, Ben Viljoenstraat, General Cronjéstraat, General Bothastraat, Colensostraat en Pretoriaplein.

[@r.m.97]

We do have one kind of lethal poisonous snake; the Adder, but they are not all over the country, i even have never seen one outside a zoo, so no worries 😊

[@anouk6644]

You both did pretty good, especially for a first time. The “I still b’lieve’ for alstublieft is genius! 😃 The fleegflag/fleeflap for vliegveld not so much 😂 Fun video!

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Glad you think so lol

[@tumeke_ec]

Hey ya'll 😅, if yous want you two should maybe sometime react to Te Maurea Whiritoi 2022

[@DrMustacho]

English is in the lips dutch is in the throat

[@gertvanderstraaten6352]

All the other Germanic languages pronounce j as English pronounces y. Not all Dutch speaker pronounce the g as harsh as that, people in the south of the Netherlands and in Belgium use a 'soft' g as we call it. Alstublieft is a shortened version of als-het-u-belieft (if it pleases you), which is the same as the French s'il vous plait with you in both language being in the polite/formal version. Dankjewel is informal (wouldn't say impolite), so it's a bit confusing as we also have dankuwel and alsjeblieft. We also use the French pardon for excuse me. Toilet is also French, the English have it but pronounce it in the non-French way. Why would you ask do you speak English in Dutch or any other language?

[@cheryljacobus]

You guys are good.

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Thank you!

[@eliasnestor9482]

All these European languages including English derived from Latin

[@sanka2000]

Goedemorgen

[@ZaimoZaragazzo]

Most foreigners think and believe the G thing. No need to pronounce the G as a scraping throat. Never did that and never will. In fact it sounds when pronounced as if it ain't there at all. NO JOKE! Btw: Province Limburg in the south is known for the soft G.

[@sleutelbergen8678]

Grappig 🤣

[@timothytruter]

Would you do Afrikaans after this? It's very similar to Dutch.

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

We have before. kzbin.info/aero/PLycUc8cOIl8Njsvx6ZKFclHAgs1aRdFZl&si=rEnqilcu67P1GjQB

I already found her very attractive, I better not say anything now!! Let her study Dutch!!

[@lisabakker8331]

UHM we also have wolfs.

[@takrisjama3804]

Alstublieft(please) is in fact als het u blieft. (If it pleases you).

[@gerhard6105]

Was n't / was niet. Isn't/is niet. Do/doe,
