Here are my top 3 favorite dutch words/expressions:
1. Doei ("DOO-weee"): It means goodbye. I love a good diphthong. And when dutch ladies say it, their voices always go up at least two octaves.
2. Donderdag* ("DON-duhrr-dach"): Thursday. Doesn't it sound ominous? "When is the plumber coming to fix your sink?" "DONDERDAG!!!"
3. Roomkaas Tieten ("ROME-kahs TEET-ehn"): Cream cheese tits. :)
And, for those romantics out there:
"Ik heb altijd van jou gehouden" (Ik heb ALL-tide fun yow ge-HOW-when") = I have always loved you

*Gs in Dutch are like chavs in Hebrew. Or, for you goyim out there, it's the sound you make when clearing the back of your throat of a moderate amount of mucous.
For those of you who dug deeper to find an easter egg, LEKKERSTE POEPSLET (lehkk-er-steh POOP-slut) means "delicious sh** ho." That is all I have to say about that.
