      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

        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.”
