minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•edit-26 months agoBack in the 90s when I lived in Amsterdam, I also saw svp (which is actually French) used often instead of aub. I never understood why though. Also, ff wachten for example. ff is short for effe, or rather “even”. Just wanted to throw that one into the mix. Edit: alstublieft is also a short version of “als het uw blieft”
minus-square@Sir_Fridgelink2•6 months agoYeah it’s odd. Nobody says S’il vous plaît but we do say svp out loud.
