What are the Netherlands People calling this Kind of Domestic Discipline? In America they call it Mouthsoaping. If a Child or Teenager or Slave (BDSM) uses Foul Language, this Person gets the Mouth washed out with a Bar of Soap. How do the People in the Netherlands call this Punishment in Dutch?

I have changed my mind about this entry, but I would like a comment by a Dutch native speaker.
http://ennl.contribute.dict.cc/?action=show-history&id=1239080
This entry gives the name as "Roßbach", but "ß" does not exist in Dutch.
Several wiki entries use "Roßbach", but most use "Rossbach".

According to the TAALUNIE, it should be spelled Rossbach:

Hi! Just came across this beautiful song on a German radio and though l can guess some words, l can't grasp the meaning. Could someone please render the English version? Super thanks!

I can´t give you a complete translation of the text; that's not the purpose of this forum. For lack of time and knowledge of the dialect from Groningen, I can only resume these lyrics: he is driving down a dangerous alley by stormy weather

"Ik ken verhoalen van dit stee in de nacht

"Aalmoal mensen, pliezie stelt wat vroagen
Een kirrel wordt in ambulaanse droagen,
Toakelwoagen sleept n wrak oet de sloot"

All those people, the police is asking questions

a recovery vehicle is towing a wreck out of the ditch"

and so on...

Hi! I just need one word translated.

"Human" --in the context "we are all human."

I google translated but i just want to verify because you know how that can be. Thanks in advance!

Answer:

by wbk (BE), 2016-09-30, 07:54   Spam?  

the noun "human" = "mens"
http://www.vandale.be/opzoeken?pattern=human&lang=en

so "we are all human" is best translated by "we zijn allemaal mensen".
So for once, google translate is correct ;-)

Hi all,
My name is Francisco and I am Spanish. My grandfather recently showed me an old letter from one of my ancestors (circa 1625) and I think it's written in ancient Dutch or Flemish as my family originally moved to Spain from the Nederlands or Belgium.

I wonder if I can post it here to see if anyone can identify the language.
Thank you!!

... that is Dutch. I recognise some words, however you need a palaeographer (which I am not) to decipher the full text.

Good luck!

Hi,
I need the Dutch version of this English word with a connotative meaning in American English: a tattle teller.
For example, "Katie is a tattle teller. When her older sister snuck out of the house to meet a boy, Katie told her parents. Katie tattled on her sister".

Tattling refers mainly to children. The adult version of this word in English is a rat (slang). For example, Joe and his teenage buddies stole a six pack of beer from the garage of the old man who lives next door. Joe told the old man that his friends stole the beer. Joe is a rat. He ratted on his friends.

tattle teller = klikspaan

rat (snitch) = verklikker

In the following phrase, does Zulke mean "these" or "such"? It's a small but important distinction that I'm trying to clarify.   "Ze heeft zulke geniale ogen"
Thank you!

The basic rule in GL 3 is "Always confirm the first correct posting!". So far, when there was no completely correct posting, and someone voted for a deletion, this delete vote was the first correct posting, so it had to be confirmed. However, most of the contributors understood this differently or didn't want to comply with it, for reasons I understand. In the last months this rule was challenged several times, which caused a lot of discussions. In the end I came to the conclusion that the vast majority of the community wants less strict delete rules. After discussing some text suggestions (forum: #846903), the following rule was accepted and is now effective:

+Always confirm the first correct posting! [...]
A [del] vote is considered a correct posting if no previous posting (input, vote or comment) contained...

Dear Forum

I started to learn Dutch and found the amazing list of 625 words from Gabriel Wyner to start any language.
Unfortunately I run in some problems with words which have multiple meanings or translation.
Now I would kindly ask if someone could translate me (and for everyone else) those 625 words.
Because I had already the embarrassing moments with google-like translation where people laughed at me or even worse, could barley understand me.

Here would be the list of the 625 words: http://fluent-forever.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/625-List-Alpha...

Thanks

P.S. Yes, I read the guidelines and I tried to translate it...

You are really asking too much. Many of the words are already in dict, and you could easily look them up for yourself. If you select the words with which there is a real problem, somebody might be willing to help.
