The Dutch owned much of New York State in the United States before the British took it over, actually, New York City used to be called New Amsterdam.

[@HalfAsleepChris]

I didn't know that, that's really cool

[@jlammetje]

There’s still (new) Harlem on the other side of the water, named after the Dutch town Haarlem.

[@rubeushagrid8990]

New Amsterdam was sold, for that time it was a good deal, but it was like 7 or 8 euro's...

[@wjkoopman]

@@rubeushagrid8990 Yes it was sold. But it was not a good deal. It was sold under high military pressure by the english forces that surrounded the town. The inhabitants started to build a wall against these forces, but it wasn't finished (just a mount of dirt) before the ultimatum was handed to them. Nevertheless, when they took over the town, the English named the street next to that pile of dirt Wallstreet. :)

As someone actually from the Netherlands, it was lovely to see this and I particually lovend your pronounciation of Papeneiland

[@HalfAsleepChris]

Thanks a lot? Haha, as in it was completely wrong or spot on...? (:

[@stijng6803]

completely wrong hahaha. But don't worry, dutch is really wrong to pronounce correctly for foreigners, some tones don't exist in other languages.

[@OP-1000]

Half-Asleep Chris. Eiland is more pronounced *ailand*

[@-Archant]

What's pronounced Eiland in the Netherlands would be EggLand if put in my head's version of Google Translate. Dutch is a hard Language, Don't worry. The Moroccans are worse.

[@JulieWallis1963]

Fenna Van Der Wall I would have said it as Pap-En-island. Pap to rhyme with rap and tap. En to rhyme with hen and Ben. Island to rhyme with Ireland .

[@MultiPerryPlatypus]

A few points. 1. You got very lucky to see someone wearing wooden shoes in the middle of the center. 2. The I live in a 1930's building and we still use it to get a fridge or a couch in/out. There's usually no space for elevators to be built and they only really became a thing ir the 60's. 3. Quite a few of the other larger and medium sized cities here actually have a red light district Cool video!.

[@HalfAsleepChris]

That’s so cool that you used the hook!

[@George-ie1si]

I was born in Holland but grew up in NZ. I went back to Holland and recognized many of the buildings. While I was there I noticed that the buildings slanted forwards at the top sometimes on both sides if the house was on a a corner. I presume it was to make it easier to lift items up the pully wheel.

[@Bianca_Toeps]

@@George-ie1si I always thought that was to get more floorspace while paying less taxes. Also the ground is soft so sometimes they houses just tilt because of that.

[@Snibble]

@@HalfAsleepChris It's funny when noobs try to use the hook. They forget to attach a line to keep it away from the windows or they just don't secure it well enough. Seen washing machines falling down from 3 stories up and what not.

[@Snibble]

@@George-ie1si It was also just to make it look more impressive when on street level. And all the houses are build on poles drilled into the ground to a layer of sand. In the old days they used a layer of sand that was not very stable. Later they started drilling deeper to a second layer of sand. If they start tilting by themselves there is something wrong.

[@Pallander]

5:45, adding to it. I live in Utrecht (4th largest) and they hooks are no joke. We only get furniture in through the window that we disconnect from the frame.

[@RKleyn]

I am dutch as well haloo

[@rembryo]

maybe you noticed the building tend to lean forward a bit. This was done to make hoisting easier :) nice vid m8

[@oostwest3618]

Forwards sloping facades were protection against rain. The thin brick walls without a cavity are simply not waterproof. Water lists, oil from the masonry, but also the escape from the façade limit the chance of rainwater penetrating.

[@mardy3732]

On top of that half the wooden foundations have either sunken deeper into the ground or rotten away.

[@KarlSnarks]

@@mardy3732 That's also what I thought. Or have we been lied to all our life??😲

[@KryzMasta]

Mardy That only goes for some houses which are actually unstable. If that goes too far, you’ll see beams and poles outside to support the facade to keep it from falling over, until renovations allow the building to stand straight again. But Oost West is right, the slope was rain protection, it wasn’t so much for the hoisting.

[@innsj6369]

I reckon someone lifted up a heavy fridge and the whole building tipped over a little bit

Housing in the US rural is so different. I live in a planned community 3 miles from restaurants, groceries, etc. and 1/2 mile away from a state park with a lake. I recently retired in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in NE Tennessee. Housing is affordable. I'm happy living here in a new home in a community where everyone is about retirement age and friendly. Europeans are so lucky to know where their heritage is. I'm 100% Western European but have no knowledge of how we left and came here to this region. You are luckier than me in your knowledge of where you came from.

[@bombersander]

hi, im dutch and i work in house renovation of amsterdam houses. the way these houses are constructed is amazing, and yes the stairs are very narrow and steep. that's why we often get the old pully out and attach it to the hook and use it to hoist up our tools. the beam that the hook is attached to, runs all the way to the back of the attic and uses a triangular wooden beam structure to even the load over the building. the amount of weight they can hold blows my mind.

[@musicismydrugxo8217]

Well, I mean technically he is right. The official language in Flanders is Dutch, not Flemish, so Mika is still a native speaker of Dutch. If you say 'here we have a native English speaker', it would be equally valid to have a Scot pronounce it or a Texan. It's just that some Flemish linguists decided in the 19th century that they'd prefer taking over the standard language from their northen neighbors than to code the massive array of Flemish dialects the common folk spoke at the time. Nowadays some people would argue Flemish is a language and not just an accent and group of dialects, but it's not officially recognised as such.

[@mistrants2745]

@@musicismydrugxo8217 sure but the thing is, in this context, 'native' also refers to that specific country they are in. Because the pronounce certain names from that country. So even if she is native to the dutch language, her version of the dutch language does not originate from the place whose names they are trying to pronounce properly.

[@musicismydrugxo8217]

@@mistrants2745 I see where you are coming from and you are definitely right there!

I love the storytelling in this video! It really feels less like a vacation vlog and more like an adventure to find these houses while seeing Amsterdam along the way. I find it odd though, as I spent 4 months studying in Amsterdam but still seem to come across new places and things about the city that I never experienced while I was there. I feel pangs of regret for having spent so much time riding across the city but not taking enough time to stop, walk into a cafe I don't know or eat at a restaurant I hadn't been to. Amsterdam has such a whimsical nature about it, that it seems almost better to be a little spontaneous when exploring the city.

There's this song with the lyrics "in ieder mensenhart daar vind je Amsterdam" (In every human heart you'll find Amsterdam).

[@ReddoFreddo]

The "Native Dutch Speaker" is clearly from Belgium. She speaks Dutch, but she also speaks Flemish. There's always people in the comments fighting over wether there's a diistinction, there is. We have the Flemish GPS voice in our car because my dad thought it was funny, once we had an Italian in our car who doesn't speak a word of Dutch and she immediately noticed the accent was Flemish. That gives you an idea how different Flemish is from Dutch. It's similar enough that my Dutch dad understands the directions from the GPS, but it's different enough that a non-speaker can hear the difference. It's so different that Flemish people dub their own Disney movies, but it's so similar that Flemish kids watch the Dutch dub for smaller media like Nickelodeon cartoons. I hope this basically illustrates it. It's like a slightly bigger difference than between American and British English. Flemish is not exactly a totally "different" language, it's very similar to Dutch, but calling it a "collection of Dutch accents" is also misleading. Flemish is a language variety, just like British English, Scots, American English, AAVE etc. So this video is kind of like an American pronouncing London street names. The reason why people get confused about wether it's a language or not, is because Flemish people are basically "bilingual" or "bidialectual" for lack of a better word. Meaning that if a Dutch person speaks in Standard Dutch to a Flemish person, the Flemish person can understand him, but if a Flemish person speaks Flemish to the Dutch person, the Dutch person can barely understand her, so the Flemish person will by default speak Standard Dutch back to the Dutch person, with a Flemish accent, and most Dutch people don't even realize that Flemish is different, because Flemish people talk Standard Dutch to them and for any "official" thing in their own country that Dutch media might pick up, like the Flemish evening news, politics, radio, official statements, writing, etc.
