Sorry harrold

but Dutch is one amazingly fucking ugly language, two colleagues have been having a conversation next to my desk for the last 20 minutes.

You misspelled my name Do they use many G's? edit: anyway, it's lower germanic with a twist - something you'd expect barbarians to speak. So it's only natural that it sounds barbaric.

So I did. Sorry mate.

Enough that if I were speaking they would need umbrellas. I'm told that the very hard G is an Amsterdam thing and that it's softer elsewhere.

The soft G is for the fake Belgians in Brabant en and Limburg, but maybe the real (hard) G is a bit harder in Amsterdam than elsewhere..

Do you say fake Belgians because you think they're really Dutch? or because you think their Belgian and object to them using (a version of) Dutch? I'm guessing these are the Flemish?

[Lost User]

Well they are Dutch, except in Zuid-Brabant. But the real Belgians also use the gay G

:) On the coast it doesnt even exist. 'Genough' sounds almost like 'enough' (the english word) the G is so silent.
