Hihi, I'll try to broaden your scope of Dutch and add more basic phrases :)

How about:
- I don't speak much Dutch
- Do you speak English?
- My name is...
- What are you doing (right now)?
- How are you?
- and would also like to know: Dude, wake up. xD

There ya go :P

how about the grammar?  ???

Woop, thanks Angel.
I can now yell at my sister to get up, in Dutch.  :goodjob:

The grammar is fairly difficult to get into, but I'll think of something

i'm getting smarter   *skip

Teehee, I'll try to keep it up n_n

arigato~  :bow:

btw what's "thank you" in dutch  ???

... and "you're welcome"! :o

Updated~ *skip

"I love Transcendence!"

:o_o:

(why not be able to say it in Dutch? XD)

:o_o:

(why not be able to say it in Dutch? XD)

yup! add that as well  :goodjob:

Of course, how could I have missed that one!  :omg:

You know how in spanish there are two ways to say "I love you" and each has a different meaning? Is there something similar in Dutch? I find that sooooo interesting!  :love:

I know that in Spanish there are two ways, it is really cool, but in Dutch there is no such thing...

If I had to say somethings it would be the friendly: luvya (yes, in English) which girls use amongst themselves and the real: 'Ik hou van jou' for lovers.

Ah I see! Oh well, Dutch is still really cool!  :love:

How about "what"?
Like y'know how in Spanish, they have 'que' and in English, we have 'what'? xD
(Expression of a legit question, disbelief, astonishment, etc etc)

Oh, that one is very easy: What = wat

 :=X:

*ish loving how words can be so similar yet different at the same time*

yup~<3

Yes, it is strange, but somehow really cool  *skip

waarom probeer je ze nederlands bij te leren. nu moet ik plät gaan praten om irritant te zijn  :=D:

:dignose: Showoff... 

Awww, don't be so mean Harr.

Anders doe je gewoon lekker mee en leer je ze ook wat?  *skip

T_T you language masters.

*off to hide in a hole*  :crywithno:

Hehe, just being native~

 *dead

Don't be depressed, you'll get it!

I've been studying French for 11 years and I STILL can't speak/write well.

(Granted my teachers don't teach, but still) :swt:

Angel, is the dutch translation for "I Love You"  => "Ik hou van u"?  ???

"Ik hou van jou" would be better as "U" is quite formal

"Je maakt alles gecompliceerd"
"Deze les/ Jij slaat nergens op"
DO YOU EVEN LIFT BREH
"Bedankt voor het harde werk mensen" though I prefer "Goed gedaan allen" which tls to "Well done y'all"
"Ga ervoor"

I'll leave the manlyman-talk to Harr, I'm not too familiar with them

Lol, Ange. Not really "manly talk" per se...

But yeah, RIP Zyzz.
Not that a load of us are trying to get that buff but still.

LOL. That phrase is universal. xD

(What is a padawan? =_=)

You do know right Liapoo?  :crywithno:

LOL OFC.

I was just mentally facepalming ^^;;

Thank you... I was scared for a second there...  :omg:

 :swt: I'm glad we got that cleared up...

*huggles Liapoo* which one did you like best?

Hmm... It's been awhile since I've watched them, I'm not so sure. I just remember wanting to see how it all ended. xD (I was pulling an all nighter with my family after all LOL)

What about you, angel poo?

I think Episode 3, bacause it has such epic battles~<3

I heard rumours about them making episodes 7, 8 and 9...

WHA O_O seriously?!?!

uhu, but just rumours sadly...

Well, when there's a will there's a way! >:3

NOOOO. why would they do that :crywithno:

they can only make it worse.

/me used to be quite a fan in the past

There are quite great books written as sequels, maybe they'll pick one of those?

Secretly I'm still hoping for the Han Solo chronicles, ever since I read the books...

Quote from: Aurelia on June 04, 2013, 15:57

There's The Hobbit movie trilogy. :) It's not the same but it's close enough.

The Hobbit was written before LOTR, so it's good  :goodjob:

Why, of course! :D I haven't read the books yet but...so far, I reckon LOTR is better because of the wars. XD Ahahahaha. I'm biased and horrible.

The Hobbit actually does have a nice story, so that's great  :goodjob:
