    Back 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”

      Yeah it’s odd. Nobody says S’il vous plaît but we do say svp out loud.
