Ja, jeg kunne l�se dit hollanske. De to sprog minder om hinanden. Der er er flere ligheder .. ogs� med tysk. Many of the european languages borrow from each other or stem from latin or greek so there is a natural likeness. Which is why knowing latin or greek is actually not useless knowledge as you can use it as an aid in translating languages you do not know. A lot of countries that are located in the old germania have further similarities. Still I must say reading your dutch is not easy .. but I can. > >I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy !! > >MUHHAHAAHHAAAAAAAAAA!!!! (Maniac grin) > Say, is there a typical Danish drink? Other than Carlsberg ? Hmmm .. Milk ? Oh and you can actually drink the water here .. AND like it - Unlike some countries .. though i'm sure you have clean water in Holland too. There are typical danish meals though .. things you dont normally see elsewhere. > Feel disillusioned? I've got some great new illusions ... Uhh do tell ! :)
