No women in northern Norway I guess?
None that use shampoo
well then they could still be asked
more like none that shower
or in the fucking capital of denmark
Denmark? Do you mean the southern part of Sweden where people speak so weird they can’t even understand each other? Probably just no data because speech incomprehensible
I would sooner believe they don’t shower (maybe hot baths only?). :)
Dude, everyone in the Netherlands speaks English. This map can’t be right.
I went to a party while I was living in The Netherlands. Everybody else at the party was Dutch. They spent the entire evening speaking to each other in English for my benefit.
Yeah that tracks. Bet it made you feel at ease.
So fucking hard trying to learn Dutch when I was working over there, everyone switched to English on me as soon as I started speaking.
Weaponized politeness.
It’s not weaponized politeness. It’s a love for efficient communication; everyone speaks English, so why not use it.
Weaponized efficiency
I know it’s not meant to be shitty in any way it was just one of the funnier frustrations I had, I was genuinely trying to learn the language lmao
I never let strangers know I can speak english.
If you try speaking their native language, they can definitely tell by your accent, though.
I was visiting a friend in the Netherlands, who had to work one day which left me exploring Rotterdam alone. I commented that I was worried about what I was going to do for lunch, since I didn’t speak Dutch and didn’t know how I was going to order food.
He said, “just go into a Burger King and start speaking English - the cashier will understand you unless they completely failed highschool.” I always appreciated that about Dutch culture. They all speak 3 or 4 languages seemingly effortlessly.
In the Netherlands the person would not respond to the question:
‘Dove’ means deaf person in Dutch
I know I shoehorned that joke in, but a friend of mine dated a partially deaf person that was angry because of that brand name and that was so absurdly funny to me that I needed to share
