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.

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
