I would like to get a couple of things translated from English to Dutch but I think google translater just does it literally and I'd like to know how it would really be said in Holland.
my wifes mother is dutch, i could ask her but she not to good with computers and lives quite far from us
hippyrichy knows a couple of Dutch phrases but they are mainly names for body parts so probably not a lot of use... :
That's brilliant Mucka, If I send you 5 sentences do you think your neigbour will translate into Dutch for me?
If not i am 1/2 Dutch and have lots of family over there, one being a Dr of English language if you need a translation let me know
I can't help you I'm afraid, but as a few previous posters can, I feel I can now post this without being too annoying..... Police in Amsterdam - Harry Enfield and Chums - BBC comedy How brilliant is Paul Whitehouse eh? )
Thanks for all the help guys this is what I've got on my van and I think it'll be even more amusing if there's a translation just above it.
Cheers Matty, I've got someone helping at the moment but if that doesn't pan out I'll give you a pm. Thanks for the help. Jack, That's exactly what the Dutch police are like. One year I got lost in Amsterdam and flagged down a police car for directions. They said "Follow Us" and we wound up driving at breakneck speeds through the centre of Amsterdam. It was like a typical police car chase except the police car was in front and I was chasing them.
I am afraid I cannot speak dutch but i thought i'd let you know just in case as I am trying to get my post count up.
Me good mate who is fluent in Dutch tells me that it's "Mijn hovercraft is vol met paling" but knowing him I would check it before getting it printed.
