There was this commercial on Swedish tv3 where a woman was to buy a specific detergent on which bottle there was a ball in which you were supposed to pour the detergent, anyway her comment was upon seing the ball the following:
Den där fånbollen! Det kan man väl inte använda. (That silly ball, is it of any use?) I've even translated the term into French: Balle de bête |

Yay, I'm going to Holland next month. Any Dutch phrases I should know? What's the word for restaurant bill? How do you say "thank you", "you're welcome" and "where's the bathroom?".
Eärniel, please help!

I was just going to ask who here lives in the Netherlands. My dad is leaving Tuesday to go there; he will be somewhere in the country at a friends house and then lecturing at the University in...Enschada (spelling?).

Enschede, I know the name from the news (there was a terrible accident in a firework factory a few years back) but I didn't know they had a university there. Never been there, though.

A few days ago we made an excursion to Fredriksten, Norway (to visit the famous fort where the Swedish king Karl XII was shot in 1718). At some café, we met a Norwegian guy with whom we talked about lots of stuff. He had had a job in Stockholm, so he carefully picked Norwegian words that he knew exist in the Swedish language, so we could understand each other perfectly well. I even practised some of my Norwegian that I've picked up when watching Norwegian television .
Um, so that was cool. I got to hear and speak Norwegian, you other language lovers didn't And how do you say "hi" and stuff in Dutch? Does anyone know if the Dutch dub their movies or if they use subtitles?

I'm in the Netherlands, and I don't understand much of what they say . My friend does though, but he's studied German and stuff so I guess it's easier for him. I do however understand a lot of the written Dutch - their words look like twisted Swedish words .
The Dutch guy at whose place we're staying at recommends that I watch Dutch news. I guess that way, I will have picked up some of the language by the end of my stay.
