(Screenshot of a social media post, user posting an image of Jar Jar Binks with a speech bubble for the post replied to. Post is from a Dutch politician stating "We hebben een serieus probleem met de politieke ontwikkelingen mbt de dwangwet en ik hoop dat dat de komende dagen kan worden opgelost. ")

Who’s opgelost?
I’m german, never learned dutch and the only part I couldn’t make sense of is “mbt de dwangwet”.
That being said, Geert Wilders is a racist cunt and right wing populist.
Mbt = “met betrekking tot”, basically means regarding. Dwangwet translates to Zwangsgesetz in German.
Thanks, though that doesn’t help that much. I don’t think we have these kind of laws in Germany (or I have never heard of that, though a quick internet search only shows laws about when police is allowed to force something).
He waa kicked out of Slitherin.
I can’t even understand it and yet it still manages to make me sick, like strawberry Quick. Thanks Lucas!
And still manages to have a more consistent spelling than English.
I believe that applies to literally every language other than English.
Even French.

You can’t really have an X here, it would get pronounced. But you can have an H, H is always nice and silent. Unless there’s a C before, then it changes how the C is pronounced.
I’m a little surprised how much of that knowing Danish allows me to reasonably interpret when reading it. It’s just a pity I made this marvelous discovery trying to read something written by fucking Geert Wilders.
It’s Dutch secret bathroom knowledge, when we shitting and reading the labels on the packaging, discovering we understand written Danish.
Written Danish is easy, like all Nordics. Spoken though, not a chance.
Except Finnish, perkele!
Mind. Blown.
