Every language sounds funny when you transliterate it and Dutch is no different. These were the words and sayings I always found the weirdest when they had to be said in English.
What words sound funny when you translate them into your own language??

In Dutch peanut butter is called pindakaas because butter was a protected name (de Boterwet). Only real butter made from dairy could be called butter so they couldn't call it pindaboter. Kaas was not a protected name so they picked that as the next best thing.

Once there was a hairdresser in Rotterdam who would like to order french fries with meat, salad and garlic sauce and he would always order the same, at the same snackbar. So the snackbar owner knew what he needed to make eventually once the hairdresser (owner from the kapsalon) came in, it became a gimmick and the owner of the snackbar put it on the menu :)

I hate to hear a Dutch accent when somebody is talking English (Louis van Gaal for instance but that is not English but Louis English) so I learned to speak with an American accent (was trying British but American is easier in the long run). And with practice I can switch between American English and Dutch in the same sentence.

Kapsalon was initially conceived when a hairdresser from Rotterdam, Nataniel Gomes, ordered the same unnamed (deviant?) dish at his local Shoarma bar every single time. Other people saw it, tried it, and it got its actual name as people really liked it and it went onto the regular menu. It then took flight outside of Rotterdam and the rest is history.

Het gerecht is in 2003 ontstaan toen Nataniël Gomes, de eigenaar van een kapsalon aan de Rotterdamse Schiedamseweg, bij de even verderop gelegen shoarmazaak El Aviva een lunchschotel liet samenstellen met daarin al zijn favoriete ingrediënten.[1] Het werd een regelmatige bestelling, die daarmee de aanduiding 'kapsalon' kreeg. Het gerecht werd populair onder jongeren en is in veel Nederlandse en Belgische snackbars en shoarmazaken te verkrijgen.[2] Ook in andere landen werd het gerecht populair.[3] De schotel was in 2017 een hype onder de elite van de Nepalese hoofdstad Kathmandu. Een kok die Nederland had bezocht introduceerde hem daar.[4] (Wikipedia)

@@DaniMystic9 Interestingly enough, "luiaard" was already a Dutch word before the animal was first discovered. "-aard" is simply a suffix to describe a certain quality of a person, basically, it describes the way a person is. Other examples are: "gierigaard", "gulzigaard" or "lelijkaard" (often written as lelijkerd nowadays). "Luiaard" basically means "lazy person". When the animal was discovered, it seemed like the perfect name for it. This is similar to the English name in a sense: "sloth" is the deadly sin of laziness/idleness and the animal is a perfect personification of that concept.

"The leopard" is actually "DE luipaard" in Dutch. This makes it sound like a lazy horse, but that's not correct (then it would have been "HET luipaard"). I think it comes down to "lijp" or "leep" which would mean something like "cunning" or even "dangerous" with the suffix -aard, and this way describing an animal to watch out for.
@wucebrayne

Whoopsie: "Luipaard komt van het Latijnse leopardus, een samenstelling van leo, 'leeuw', en pardus, 'panter'. Doordat het etymologische verband tussen -paard en pardus op de duur op de achtergrond raakte, gingen velen door de bijgedachte aan het paard ook het luipaard zeggen." - which makes it a "lion-panther". Still, not a lazy horse.

I don't know if you've ever heard of Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer. If you haven't he was one of the first to reach Australia, Tasmania is named after him and why New Zealand is new with the old zealand as a Dutch province. Just like New York used to be Dutch and you can still see it in the names. Like Queens, Brooklyn (Breukelen), Harlem (Haarlem), Coney Island (konijnen eiland) and Wall street being the old wall of the fort that was there from the Dutch setlers. And some of the names for animals might be the same not because the Dutch used the English name, but the English using the Dutch name. The wierd cross polination between Dutch and English and the wars we used to have in the 17th century

A funny example of Dutch animal names being translates into English is the white rhinoceros. It has nothing to do with the color, since the black and white rhinos are pretty similar. The distinction between the two has to do with the shape of the mouth. One is wide which is ‘wijd’ in Dutch but got translated into white.

Much of this comes from the 17th century, when there was a huge expansion in Dutch innovation in the natural sciences. The republic was very young, and Dutch its new language. Dutch was used to shape a "new" scientific vocabulary. So, mathematics became "wiskunde", physics "natuurkunde" etc. But also, Dutch was used for scientific terms to describe nature: hence the Dutch names for animal and plant names that were subsequently latinized in other languages. In contrast: English took its scientific vocabulary almost entirely from Latin.

Clients of the hairsdresser naturaly smelled it and hot hungry, when they asked what it was the hairsdresser told them to go to the snackbar and ask for a kapsalon. As the meal is conventie and kinda funny, due to its name, it gained popularity quickly. The 'kapsalon' is not very old, think its avout 10 years, give or take. It is the best after an evening of exccesive drinking, and in my experience reduces the hangover de day after.

In the 17th century were quite systematic in documenting the new worlds they encountered and they were very literate. The latter might explain why the naming habits are pretty literal like Latin, it's really not that weird if you compare for example hippopotamus and nijlpaard. Unlike with animals that are part of daily life and language, it shows a systematic approach that is easy to work with. If you've heard the word before and you see the animal for the first time, like a schildpad or vogelbekdier, you know it's name. That simply works.

I like how Dutch has words that English had to borrow from other languages to make equivalents. Not objects always, sometimes concepts. For example, waarneming (observation), daadkracht (decisiveness) hartstochtelijk (passionately). There’s loads of examples. Dutch know the Latin-based versions of these words too in a lot of cases (eg observatie) but at least there are the versions in the home language. It makes it a beautiful language. If you translate these concepts into English it could sound funny but at least they made their own words from eigen bodem.

It became a regular order, which was given the designation 'hairdressing salon' (kapsalon). The dish became popular among young people and is available in many Dutch and Belgian snack bars and kebab shops."

The origin of koetjes en kalfjes comes from those activities as much of the conversations between the farmers from whom those week markets served as social events were about koetjes and kalfjes and other trivial matters. En het neutje with even more trivial stuff in the café afterwards seemed to be more important than the market itself.

Translating Dutch words or sayings into English is known as Steenkolenengels (coal english). This happens to Dutch people trying to speak English, but not mastering the language (hebben Engels niet helemaal onder de knie). If they don't know the English word they make it up by a quick and sometimes wrong translation. There are books famous for collecting the examples: I always get my sin, I always get my sin too and I have it in my own hands. Some examples: Introduction would be in Dutch Voorwoord and back again as Before Word, or, head entrance, (hoofdingang, main entrance). Finally a classic: Go your gang (ga je gang, go for it) and don't be bang (wees niet bang, don't be afraid). A onguesser (aanrader, recommended haha).

This originated in a Rotterdam snackbar where it was the employees of a nearby hairdresser wich started ordering combinations of several dishes (fries, shoarma, salad,...) and wanted them combined in one plate.

In Holland when you order a "shoarma schotel" you get a plate of fries with grilled shoarma, salad in a side dish and two or three small containers with sauce. A hairdressing salon (Kapsalon) wanted to order this for his hairdressers but because of the many different containers and plates it was not easy to eat. So he asked the grill room to make a dish that contains all of the ingredients in just 1 plate. And the grillroom delivered and called it Kapsalon. Love it, by the way :)

I love Dutch puns eg "Je hoeft niet aan een boom te hangen om een ​​eikel te zijn." or, " you don't need to hang from a tree to be an acorn" which is an amazing double-entendre. Lol

Personally, I like this littererally translated Klein Duimpje story. It makes no sense for non Dutch speakers... Escaped from the language lab Through R. Cowsbrook There was once a poor woodchopper. This woodchopping, he said one day to his woman, there sits no dry bread in it. I work myself an accident the whole day, but you and our twelve children have not to eat. “I see the future dark in,” his woman agreed. “We must try to fit a sleeve on it,” the woodchopper resumed; “I have a plan: tomorrow we shall go on step with the children, and then, in the middle of the wood, we’ll leave them to their fate over.” His woman almost went off her little stick when she heard this. “What is there with you on the hand?” she cried, “aren’t you good sob?” But the woodchopper wasn’t brought off his piece by her wailing, he gave no shrink. “It cannot differ to me what you think,” he said. “There sits nothing else on, tomorrow we leave them in the wood.” Little Thumbkin, the youngest son, had listened off his parents’ conversation. The next morning before day and dew he went out and filled his pockets with pebbles. During the walk into the wood he knew unmarked-up to drop them one by one. Then the parents told the children to gather some wood, and shined the plate. When the parents didn’t come for the day any more, the children understood that they had been left in the stitch. Soon the waterlanders appeared. But Thumbkin said: “Don’t sit down by your packages. I will sorrow for it that we all get home wholeskins.“ Thank be the pebbles, he was able to find his way back. “By God,” the parents said as they came to foreshine, “how have you ragged him that?” “No art on,” said Thumbkin and explained what he had done. “If you want to be rid of us you will have to stand up a bit earlier.” That is just what the parents did. This time there came no pebbles on to pass. All Thumbkin had was a piece of dry bread. He decided that his bread there then but must believe to it. He left a trail of breadcrumbs but he didn’t have it in the holes that they were being made soldier by the birds. His parents departed with the Northern sun, as on the day before, but this time Thumbkin soon touched rid of the trail. What now? Good counsel was expensive. The sun was already under, it was raining pipestems and the crying stood Little Thumbkin nearer than the laughing. At last he saw a tiny light through the trees; it turned out to be a house. The lady who stood them to word was a giantess. She gave them what to eat but Little Thumbkin received the feeling that something wasn’t fluff. He had understood that the giantess’ man, the giant, was a people-eater who would see no bone in devouring them. If we do not pass up, he thought, we shall be the cigar; as soon as they saw their chance clean they took the legs and smeared him. When the giant came home, he sniffed the air and bellowed: “I smell people flesh! Woman, why have you let them go there from through? Bring me my seven-league boots, I go them behind after!” He was about to haul the children in, but wonder above wonder, just then he decided to lie down in order to snap a little owl. “Shoot up, help me!” Thumbkin said to his brothers as soon as the giant lay there pipping, we must see to make him his seven-league boots off-handy. They squeezed him like an old thief but they went ahead and knew him to draw his boots out. “Now we must make that we come away!” Little Thumbkin gasped. He put on the boots and quickly made himself out of the feet, carrying his brothers along. Also, he had seen chance to roll the giant’s pockets and pick in all his gold pieces. “How have you boxed that before each other?” cried Thumbkin’s parents in amazement when he showed up. “It was a pod-skin,” said Little Thumbkin modestly. “I may be small but I stand my little man. And look, I have also brought a lot of poon. We used not to be able to allow ourselves billy-goat’s leaps, but now we have our sheep on the dry. We will never come anything too short again! I shall be able to buy myself a nail-suit at last! And a woody-stringy!” “And I a soup-dress,” cried his mother, “they are you of it these days.” “Great,” his father exulted. “I shall buy us a motor-car.” That afternoon he came riding to the fore in a sleigh of a wagon. “I seem to be having trouble riding straight out,” Thumbkin’s father complained. “That you thank the cuckoo,” his woman said, “you have a piece in your collar. You have him round again. I shall stop you in bed.” The next day all the children were stuck in the clothes as well. In her new soup-dress, mother looked a cleanliness. After that, they moved to The Hague, where they bought a chest of a house on the New Explanation, and they lived still long and lucky. Rudy Kousbroek (1986). Escaped from the language lab.

What is also funny is that some Dutch words can have multiple meanings based on context. The word 'pad' can mean road or toad. And the word 'graven' can mean digging, graves or multiple counts. Because their function differs, you can combine them into new words or even sentences like 'paddenpaadje' = a road of toads and 'graven graven graven' = counts digging graves :)

4:00 According to the usual explanation, the dish originated in 2003 when Nataniël Gomes, the owner of a hairdressing salon on Rotterdam's Schiedamseweg, had a lunch dish composed with all his favorite ingredients at the shawarma shop El Aviva, located a little further away. It became a regular order, which was given the designation 'hair salon'. 4:34 In the Netherlands we usually don't put the doe in the freezer. We just make it, leave the dough to rise for about on hour or so and then, in my case, with two spoons, make "balls" of the dough and bake the oliebollen. Delicious! :)

The fast food “kapsalon”, is called that way because the “inventer” was a hairdresser who ordered a combination from his favorite dishes: shoarma and fries combined with cheese. He liked it and kept ordering it. Others followed and named it after the one who first ordered it “kapsalon” (hairdresser).
