'de koek is op'

“Zand erover” does not mean: we ‘ll bury the problem and act as if nothing has happened. ” zand erover “ much more means: we had a problem, we have talked aboutit, now it is solved so no hard feelings”.....

@@pettylabelle7944 not exactly, it really means putting it behind because both realize there are more important things, squashed has more a connotation of "putting it aside with force without resolve" that might just be my interpretation, but if we mean that we say "daar praten we niet over" (we won't talk about that) , zand erover , really is dutch in the sense that you can see it in the context of polders; to build a solid foundation to move upwards from, generally theres been a good heart to heart before you decide to put sand over the matter and encase it , not gone, not flattened but as a monument to the experience.

Hallo meneer de Pau. Ik hou can uw filmpjes. Zij zijn goed om Nederlandse cultuur te ontdekken. Ik weet sommige zinnen als ik heb andere video's van u gekeken. In Spanje, men zegt "A caballo regalado, no le mires los dientes". Dat betekent hetzelfde als het Nederlandse gezegde van het paard. "Je dik achterna lopen" kan betekent "pensar con la entrepierna (polla)". Ik wist er niets van "een engeltje pist on je tong". Dat is grappig voor mij. Ik hou echt van de volgende uitdrukking: "met de deur in het huis te vallen". Een vergelijkbare vertaling in het Spaans is "ir al grano". 😃 Ik hoop dat jullie deze uitdrukkingen interessant vinden, omdat ze niet hetzelfde zijn in het Nederlands, maar ze hebben dezelfde betekenis. Gefeliciteerd voor deze video. Tot ziens! 😀🇳🇱

By the way, "Zand erover" isn't explained very well. It's more like an alternative to "water under the bridge". It's often used to forgive a minor transgression. I'd describe it as "You know what you did wrong and I know your intentions weren't malicious so let's not waste time and energy making a big deal out of it.".

In België is er een taallerares die nieuwkomers bekende uitspraken uit populaire Vlaamse televisie-programma's aanleert, zodat ze die kunnen gebruiken in het dagelijkse leven. Dat heeft een ongelofelijk positief effect op de autochtonen en het integratie-effect.

There are many expressions in Dutch which are uncommon in Dutch speaking Belgium (Flanders) or which make only slowly their way. 1) "tig", stemming from "twintig, dertig, veertig ..." meaning "a lot". We now know what it means but we don't use it. 2) "een eitje", meaning "it's easy", same 3) "dat is een dingetje", meaning "it's a thing" which means "yeah, we should probably worry about it" or "it's meaningful", ... Same 4) "kan ik misschien een haakje in die toko werpen" meaning "I can make a connection", "toko" meaning "shop"; Belgium has no connection to the former Dutch colonies, so any borrowed terms like "toko" are also unknown 5) and then you can cause a lot of confusion with terms having a slightly different meaning like "lopen", "stappen", "uitgaan": our "stappen" is "lopen" in Dutch; the Dutch "stappen" is our "uitgaan".

"Dat is doorgestoken kaart." Literally translated it means 'that is a stabbed-through card', but it basically means that something may seem normal or innocent, but it's not. Adding on to that, you can also use 'dat is niet in de haak', which translates to 'that is not in the hook' (yeah, Dutch is weird), but it means that something isn't right. "Naast je schoenen lopen." Literally translated, it means 'walking beside your shoes', but it pretty much means that you're doing something wrong, usually out of confusion. "De kat uit de boom kijken." Yeeting it through Google translate, you'll get 'watching(/looking) the cat out of the tree', but it means that you're observing something before joining in, though the joining in doesn't always happen. A good example would be your first day in a new class that's already familiar with eachother, so you're just watching everybody interact before you really start to get to know them. One last thing, I'm sure most if not all English-speakers know the expression 'the cat's out of the bag.' There's a Dutch variant as well, but that one is 'nu komt de aap uit de mouw,' translating to 'the monkey's out of the sleeve.' Don't get them mixed up, you'll confuse speakers of both languages ˆˆ'

Je moet een gegeven paard niet in de bek kijken, means that when someone gives you a gift, and you complain about it. Translated:" You shouldnt look a given horse in his mouth"

Interesting about the phrase "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" (this is an expression we see in English too) my father says it's because when you look at a horse's teeth you can tell the age. So looking at a horse that is gifted to you in the mouth is rude, as you are seeing if they are giving you an old horse (which would not be appreciated). You should appreciate the gift and not question it.

Tamelijk Nederlands-Nederlands hier. Van "op die fiets" had ik nog nooit gehoord. Misschien enkele (West?) Vlaamse ter afwisseling: "hou je aan het gras" (hou vol, ook bij grote tegenslagen). Of iemand die "snel in zijn hart gebeten" is (snel agressief reageert).

'De kat op het spek binden.' Literally: Binding the cat to the bacon. It is said when someone creates a scenario which you can expect to go a certain (bad) way. When you literally bind a cat to a piece of bacon you shouldn't be surprised when the cat eats the bacon.

You can check the age of a horse by looking at its teeth. So if someone gives you a horse it is not polite to check its teeth. In other words, appreciate a gift, whatever the quality

You would be surprised how Dutch the USA actually is. The pilgrim fathers took a lot of Dutch heritage to the new found land after all, anything from the declaration of Independence that is not too different from the Dutch one, up till your Constitution and all the ideas of free speech, free trade (Wall Street stock exchange) and so on that came with it. Even the American icon... The Donut... is but a Dutch invention. So it isn't surprising that some of our expressions got integrated into culture over there. Also did you know that the Netherlands is the ONLY country to have EVER conquered the United Kingdom by slaying it's King at the Battle of the Boyne? They just aren't proud of it and so you never hear them about it, but the United Kingdom was under Dutch rule as well.

@@LogiForce86 I am Dutch, but it is wrong to say that there was a battle of the Boyne and that the Dutch "conquered" the UK or was under Dutch rule. The Dutch king was invited, and he could only rule on the terms of the British Parliament. The Sovereign was his wife. It was strictly speaking not even William's "rule". The battle of the Boyne was so small, it was not even a battle. If you want to be that chauvinistic, you could better mention the Dutch Raid on the Medway. But even that was not a battle. Of the bigger (sea) battles in the 17th century, the UK won nearly every time, or it was sometimes inconclusive.

@@ronaldderooij1774 Do not forget that you are talking about a time long before emancipation. Of course women weren't powerless creatures and had their own circles and ways in which they spread their influence, but the husband was still the one to listen to. Even in this day and age of emancipation a couple influences each other, so even Maxima influencing politics while Willem can not involve himself with politics is something I personally frown upon. I digress. What I am saying is that official titles often only tell half of the story as you can not under any circumstances ignore the personal relationships. The Battle of Medway was also important and more of an infiltrate and destroy mission than anything else, but the Battle at the Boyne was a decisive turning point for England as well as Ireland. It is after all still celebrated by the Irish. I am not saying you are wrong history wise though. It can get quite complex after all, and even I might be completely wrong. I am not a historian, not in the slightest. Personally I recently found the era quite interesting, and I do also believe that the Golden Age is something we should look at again. Not because of the slave trade but more so because of the Enlightenment. I think we are forgetting a lot of important lessons learned back then.

"sadly, that's the way it is, nothing can be done" these two words helaas pindakaas only go together because they rhyme, there is no meaning to connect peanut butter with misfortune. "helaas pindakaas" is said when there is misfortune but it is not very serious, or if you're not very empathetic with the other person's misfortune. a rude shop owner might say it if you order just as they're closing up and they're refusing you service.
