Dans un courrier dat=E9 du 12/05/99 18:34:20 , John a =E9crit :
<< I'm just guessing here, but I assumed the morphological breakdown to be
"hotten-totten-ten tent-en toon-stelling". I admit I don't see
what the "t" after "totten" is doing there, unless it is
for euphony. >>
Dear John,
A few things I've experienced with Dutch people (I had a Dutch friend for=20
many, many years) :
(i) They are amused when you try to learn their language,
(ii) they are really p*ssed off when you try to speak it,
(iii) they are delighted when you miss a step with it,
(iv) they are truely fascinating people.
Mind the step ;-)
Mathias
