Hallo Bren

Je doet het zeer goed hoor. Alleen je grammatica is soms wat minder, maar daar heb ik ook last van.

Tim

Hello Bren,
You are doing a very good job by writing Dutch... so very funny to see this. Some of your grammer is not correct.... but he.. mine is also terrible... hahaha.
But i'm doing fine, and how are you??? How is your hair??? Did the barber make something of it??
But it is nice to see that you are doing fine... and you are doing a great job.

Talk to you later!!

The Butcher, Tim
De slager, Tim

Dank je wel Tim,
Het is fijn om jou te zien.

i will have to learn Dutch grammar, methinks :lol:
you should give me credit,voor het proberen :lol:
The Bat is trying very hard to learn.

The hair is fine thanks ,the Bat is now beautiful :lol: :lol:



Bren

Offcourse Bren.

Speaking and the grammer of the Dutch language is so hard. Even i have some trouble with it.... English a such an easy language if you know the words and the grammer... but Dutch is a hard language... Tough to learn.

The Bat, still wants to learn though,even if it is hard
very determined little bat i am.
:D
Bren

That is cool!!! Nice to hear Bren,... then we will go on with this!! And when i'm coming to visit your country...we can speak Dutch together. hahaha

I might be able to read and understand a little now Tim but i woudn't be able to a speak a single word

Hi Bren, feeling better today thank you.

See you back tonight.
I hope you'll feel better then and you're bad day has turned into a nice one.
You did say that correctly.....you are getting better every day, and I get worse at English, because I have made 5 spelling mistakes wich i'm gonna correct now, lol

Ik ben blij dat te horen,Asha,
Tot ziens
Bren

Hello Bren.

Je doet het prima zeg... dat Nederlands leren gaat je goed af. Heel leuk om te zien.

Alsjeblieft means: here you are.... or here you have it in a polite way... like a waitress brings you some coffee and say: Here you are, your coffee... in Dutch it will be like: Alsjeblieft, hier is uw koffie.

Alsjeblieft is not the correct way.... if you are polite it is Alstublieft... you see the difference???

Alsjeblieft
Alstublieft.... this is more polite.

The Butcher.

Hallo Tim,
Dank je wel.

Thanks for telling me what Alsjeblieft means and for explaining it so well, much appreciated

I found an online Dutch/English dictionary and had a go at translating this. These are a few words I couln't find translations for, can someone help?

vind
bepaalde
zei
willen
van
heeft

I think I understand the general ideas expressed but the last sentance still confuses me. Perhaps having 'van heeft ' translated will help.

Hope someone can help. Thanks,
E

K, E here goes:
vind is think (I think)
bepaalde is certain
zei is said
Willen is to want
van is off
heeft is has

The last sentence translates as:
I f a non-smoker has a problem with it he just has to say it.

Hope this helps E.
Have fun
Asha
