Sadly, not a well-known show in the Netherlands (apparently there was even a Dutch version that got cancelled after 12 episodes)

I wonder if he's just being careful politically. Farmers are a polarised topic in the Netherlands.

Not to be confused with "ontroerend goed", which moves you (emotionally)

There are no beaches in the Netherlands that far away from a major city though

Zeker veel beter dan PVV, maar de CDA is ook wel een partij vol schandalen. Ik zou zeggen, de reden dat NSC en BBB überhaupt bestaan

Are you still talking about the Netherlands? Unless it's on one of the islands, I don't see how a house near the beach could be in a bad location

"Meel" is ook een interessante voor dat rijtje (specifiek de L aan het eind van een lettergreep, "stelen" is wel weer normaler bijvoorbeeld). De gewone klanken lukken voor Nederlanders ook gewoon niet goed voor een R/L.

At best you could say there's "the" (pronounced thee) and "the" (pronounced "thuh"), like le vs l'

Germanic language Dutch only has "de" and "het"

plenty of kids up for adoption

Maybe this is very country-dependent, but at least in the Netherlands that's not the case at all (and adoptions from abroad get shady, like without the mother's consent)

In Dutch, "haai" (shark) sounds very similar to "hi" (the English word), same for "hooi" (hay) and "hoi" (hi). Which leads to this hilarious comic I saw once where a shark meets a bale of hay ^{edit: somehow I typed bay of hale}

In Baarle-Nassau and Baarle-Hertog, which is essentially one village split between the Netherlands and Belgium in the messiest way possible, I think it's based on where the front door is

Looks like it got removed by a mod. Which is interesting, because the commenter was also a mod.

The English disease of putting spaces in a compound word might be worse... it's not even consistent. It'll be a new example of "Dutch grammar is 50% special cases."

Honestly no, never, and that feels more like a problem of not having proper cycling paths. Nobody wants to cycle on the sidewalk.

The way I see it, shawarma comes in strips and kebab in flakes

Oh die peiling ziet er eigenlijk veel beter uit dan ik dacht, ik was bang dat de PVV er nog meer stemmers bij zou hebben gepakt

Aw. We're pretty used to hanging out in English-speaking spaces so there's probably more Dutch folk hiding around. I do know the head admin of lemmy.world is Dutch, as well as one of the main devs of mbin.

Where are you finding all these Dutch posts? This is the only vaguely active Dutch sub I know of

At least here in the Netherlands, there was a lot of commotion because a data centre tried to buy a windmill park meant to power households as their dedicated power source
