This translation is off. The Dutch translation is too nice compared to what the English is trying to convey.

Translating it back it would mean "Hit me dad"

A more literal Dutch translation of the first sentence would be "Geef me kletsen pappie"

We all know Dutch isn't real, it's a prank played by the Dutch people on the rest of the world.

I prefer to learn languages actually used by nations worldwide, like Klingon or toki pona

It's so obvious too that it's a fake language because they all speak English.

We will still give you forms in our made up language. It's hilarious.

All languages are made up.

Wait till you find out that English and Hindi are in the same language group.

Are you kidding. I love this!
Every time I see a dutch sentence I got a bigger and bigger feeling that it is the german language with the poetry of a romance one. chef's kiss
