rtbrouwer: hey man
DOGGx0: hey bro
rtbrouwer: wanna learn dutch?
DOGGx0: sure
rtbrouwer: okay, well, what do you wanna learn? I have a good idea.... With everything I type I type the dutch translation behind it
rtbrouwer: hi how are you? / hoi, hoe is het?
DOGGx0: ok. how are you?
rtbrouwer: I am fine, how are you you doing? /// met mij prima, en met jou?
rtbrouwer: is dutch so boring or did you just fell asleep? /// is nederlands zo saai of ben je gewoon in slaap gevallen?
DOGGx0: lol.. no i am looking back and forth at american then to dutch to see how it might relate
DOGGx0: jou = doing?
rtbrouwer: jou = you
rtbrouwer: doing is not included in the dutch translation..... doing can be translated in 2 ways..... In this case it should be "gaat"... so you get how are you doing = hoe gaat het met jou?
rtbrouwer: and doing in the way of doing something = doen.... e.g. I am doing the dishes = ik ben de vaat aan het DOEN
rtbrouwer: get it?
DOGGx0: zo saai = so boring?
rtbrouwer: yes
rtbrouwer: you are the bomb
DOGGx0: :-)
rtbrouwer: ohw... forgot the translation...... yes = ja and you are the bomb is jij bent de bom
rtbrouwer: jij = you....... bent = are..... de = the...... bom = bomb
rtbrouwer: any other questions? enige andere vragen?
DOGGx0: zo jij bent gevallen?
rtbrouwer: what do you mean by that?
DOGGx0: so you are asleep?
DOGGx0: is that right?
rtbrouwer: so you are aspleep should be translated...... dus jij slaapt?
rtbrouwer: so can be translated as dus and zo
rtbrouwer: you translate it als zo if you use it to compare things....... e.g. you are so stupid..... jij bent zo dom
DOGGx0: why dus?
DOGGx0: ahh
rtbrouwer: if you use it as a question....... so, you are sleeping..... dus, jij slaapt?
DOGGx0: i see
rtbrouwer: in the way I just said sleeping. "ben je gewoon in slaap gevallen" that means, have you just fallen asleep
rtbrouwer: zo jij bent gevallen? mean "that, you have fallen"
DOGGx0: ohhh
DOGGx0: what about sleep?
rtbrouwer: sleep = slaap
DOGGx0: ahh.. i see
rtbrouwer: but slaap is also temple....... sleeping is slapen..... but being hit on the temple = geslagen worden op de slaap
rtbrouwer: haha, we have a lot of dubble meanings for words........ contexts are very important in dutch compared to english
DOGGx0: no **** man
DOGGx0: weirdos
rtbrouwer: hahaha, this only the beginning....... we have so many forms for one word
rtbrouwer: he sleeps = hij slaapt
rtbrouwer: I sleep = ik slaap
rtbrouwer: they sleep = zij slapen
rtbrouwer: they have slept = zij hebben geslapen
DOGGx0: ik = i?

rtbrouwer: I = ik
