Funny thing about peanut butter, indeed in dutch it is pindakaas, wich translates to peanut cheese. this is because "butter" used to be a copyrighted term in the netherlands. that's why they changed it to "pindakaas".

[@ExxoToxin]

The more you know

[@In1998able]

Echt! please teach me

[@MoViesDProductions]

Close. Intellectual property law generally doesn't (and didn't) allow "copyrighting" generic terms--and even if someone had wanted to protect the name, they would have tried to register it as a trademark, which is a completely distinct type of IP right. Copyright mostly applies to artistic works (and a number of other types of creations). It need not even necessarily be registered to enjoy protection. The reason it's not called peanut butter is that the term "butter" was protected by law at the time. Manufacturers had to meet certain criteria and thresholds before they were allowed to sell their product as "butter." Since peanut butter isn't even a dairy product, it's easy to see why it didn't pass muster.

The reason we say pindakaas and not pindoboter is because for something to be called butter in the Netherlands it needs to have a certain percentage of fat. Thats also why less fat butter never has the word boter on it, but 'lekker op brood' (tasty on bread) or smeerbaar met olijfolie (idk how to translate that, its too weird) for example.

Het probleem is dat jij het verkeerd schrijft. Het is geen 'lange afstandsrelatie', maar een langeafstandsrelatie. Anders is het een 'afstandsrelatie' die lang is/duurt, terwijl het lange hier juist op de afstand slaat, niet op de relatie.

Wow, so far I didn't know Het "schaamstukje". Indeed, the last piece of cheese (or any other snack) on the plate at the end of a party. Nobody wants to be impolite like snatching it away. Many feel a bit awkward if you take it: You're kind of supposed to leave it on that plate for another guest. Of course, any party attracts visitors having an irresistible appetite. They don't feel a-shamed (be-schaamd) if they snatch the cheese-cube away exactly at the moment you're going for it. Great word!

The long rivalry between our nations has seeped into YOUR language alot, whereas the Dutch aren't that petty with their language. 'dutch courage' is one for example... there are more about my people and quite frankly the dishonesty and disrespect captured within them is laughable. Just look at our little country and imagine France, England and some other nations descending upon it and they still had a hard time dealing with us and then claim such a thing as 'Dutch courage'... It should be removed from your vocabulary already and we should never trade tea with you again for the disrespect... (it was the Dutch that popularized tea in England after all)

Parar means to stop, pluie is rain, so a paraplu stops the rain, hence the question in the song: "Who stop's the rain"? Answer: the paraplu... Parasol stops the Sun from burning you. Para means for... Another option. The paraplu is for the rain ,the parasol for the sun... Flemish is even more descriptive than Dutch... Avanceerplankske for the Dutch Step... etc..

paraplu is short for French para-pluie - rain-shield - like para-tonnerre is lightning rod, or thunder shield not from Greek para- but from Latin verb para-re.

At 04:24, it's not a dutch word, it's a French word. Paraplu means literaly against rain. This is what we call a "leenwoord" borrowed from the French. And i have a suggestion. Angstschreeuw, this word has 8 consonants behind eachother. A good word to scrable with.

[@TheRealTricky]

Nice addition is that "paraplu" is only said in the Netherlands. In Belgium they say "regenscherm" (lit. 'rain screen'), and I guess it's the aversion against the French language...

[@TheRealTricky]

@@mr.bonkers2310 The only place in the Netherlands where I ever experienced that word being used was in my home reading "Suske & Wiske", but since that's a comic from Belgian origin, I guess that doesn't count. But maybe there are locations where "regenscherm" is actually used. I didn't say no Dutch say it, but in Belgium the word "paraplu" is not very common, as well as the word "douche", which is also originated from French, which is in Flemish "stortbad" (In Suske & Wiske they took "stortbad" literally by making the entire house collapse (instorten), causing Sidonia to say "Jij met je stortbad!"
