I love these Dutch posts

It's like if someone went to a business conference but only spoke through Doge memes

ts language CANNOT be real bro

[u/RespUnin → u/shinjidrivekari]

That's Afrikaans but but that's a Dutch enough language

[u/_WdMalus_ → u/RespUnin]

The title works in either

[u/MisterDutch93 → u/_WdMalus_]

It would’ve been “Wat nu?” instead of “Wat nou?” in Dutch. The word “nou” is less formal and more common tongue, so it’s not used in print like this.

[u/_WdMalus_ → u/MisterDutch93]

Broski it still works. A newpaper title doesnt hace to be formal, especially if it is rather old. Dutch is my mother tongue, no need to explain its registers to me

[u/MisterDutch93 → u/_WdMalus_]

I’m just saying you wouldn’t see a newspaper use “wat nou” in this way. BROSKI. It’s because Afrikaans was influenced by English (compare with “what now”).

[u/JasperJ → u/_WdMalus_]

Newspaper headlines always have to be formal especially if they’re rather old.

[u/SoFarSoGood1995 → u/_WdMalus_]

No it doesn't 

[u/dutch_mapping_empire → u/_WdMalus_]

''wat nou'' isn't really written language in dutch, it's very often said like that but written is just ''wat nu''

[u/spawnmorezerglings → u/[deleted]]

That's just blatantly false: american vs british english would be more like dutch vs flemish, dutch and afrikaans have diverged much more

[u/_WdMalus_ → u/spawnmorezerglings]

Dutch vs Flemish is more different than an english speaker could dream of

[u/NikoB0t → u/[deleted]]

i think its more like spanish VS mexican
