    Why does Foto’s have an apostrophe?

        Only if it’s a short ‘e’, if the pronunciation is long, you do use an apostrophe.

        100 hours learning Dutch in duolingo and I still had to go look this up. /smh

        Don’t let it go, but let it go

        Is that about right?

          No, it roughly translates to

          Not because i have to, but because I can

            And the intonation matches: doing stuff for the fun of it.

          They don’t give you the fun local saying we have here.

            I think my favorite one my Dutch buddy told me about was “Helaas pindakaas.” If not that, I also love the insult “droplul.”
