You could just say: "Wauw, ik aanbid u, oh groot orakel, neergekomen als messias op aarde om ons nederige schepselen te verlichte, ook al ben ik onwaardig!" to me
Note that "knap" could mean both "pretty" ( good-looking ) and "smart" ( good-thinking ), so you could say "wauw, jij bent knap!" if someone made some beautiful colouring or something... ( though "mooi" only means "handsome/pretty/good-looking" when directed to a person )
It's ment to be 'Ik weet het niet' but that may be just a typing fault.
And there are so many ways to say goodbye, almost every (and there are a lot *cough cough cough*) district in the netherlands has it own way.
en ShgnLW, dat is gemeen om de rest te laten zeggen dat jij hun meester bent :P
A dutch will says this: Ik heb altijd gelijk - I'm always right
Jij hebt geen gelijk- You're not right
You will say this: Jij hebt gelijk - You're right
Ik heb geen gelijk - I'm not right
Het spijt me - I'm sorry
This is all you need to now, A dutchman is ALWAYS right, remember that, because he self will also think he's right.
I'm thinking of studying in netherlands next year, I like the country (put aside Geert Wilders and guys actually voting for such a !$#&!/?-self zensorship to avoid getting banned-) and some of it's legal interpretations in specific :>
Plus my hown town is close to the border and I guess the language shouldn't be too hard to learn for Germans
Is a High German accent considered to be rude in Netherlands, like it is in Swiss?
Considering we put up with morrocan/turkish accents, I'd say no.
Geert Wilders... the guy shouldn't even be in the government at all. I mean, seriously, what sort of politician has time to publish a glossy mag about himself?
I mean, for someone like Patricia Paay I can understand why she would do such a thing, but come on! The guy's supposed to lead by example, especially during economical recess! And yet all he does is whine and hinder the others that are seriously trying... well, maybe not that hard, but at least they're doing something other than twiddling their tumbs.
