That feeling when you they something in Dutch... and you don't know whether to take it literally...
Which Dutch expressions are weird to you?
Do you know Dutch proverbs and Dutch sayings?
Which are your favourite Dutch idioms?
That's what we asked to the Dutch language students at the Dutch Summer School...
They answered:
'het regent pijpestelen'
'kijken, kijken, niet kopen!'
'voor een appel en een ei'
'ben je van de trap gevallen?'
'ik kan mijn ei erin kwijt'
'helaas, pindakaas!'
'een klap van de molen'
'komkommertijd'
'een huishouden van Jan Steen'
'hoor'
'wat toevallig!'
'sjongejonge'
'daar komt de aap uit de mouw'
'ik kan er geen chocola van maken'
