Can u figure this out?:
"I enkel can' t trekkracht dit dildo uit mijn ezel. Heb om het even welke gelei om me te lenen?" .. yes, it's Dutch.

It's not very good Dutch...

Loosely translated, it means "I don't have the strength to pull this dildo out of my ass (as in donkey but I think Bablefish screwed you over). Have you *something I don't understand* to lend me"

It's more obvious if you speak Norwegian though.

yup, always some words we recognize with European Germanic Languages.

'cept for the Islandic Bird Brits and Flying Yanks of course

Both of his fits were terrible.

Incidentally Google can translate Dutch (http://translate.google.com/translate_t). Just in case one day you find no Dutchmen around  you

English = Homemade
Dutch = Zelfgemaakt
German = Selbstgemacht

Just see that German and Dutch is nearly the same. Someone said to me that Dutch language is when a drunk french/english person is trying to speak german...lol

What are you talkin about?  I can navigate my way around this site fairly easy:
http://www.komplett.no/k/k.aspx

And it's in Norwegian but I can't remember if it's Bokmal or Nyorsk

I can also read a fair bit of German.

You're only talking about the dumb English speakers who choose not to think whenever they try to listen to or even read a foreign language.

take it easy dude,

just saying... with sarcasm in place...

but you choose a Hardware store site, like everyone here can navigate those, like we can also find hardware on Chinese sites (bit ticky ticky ).

always exceptions in stuff, but generally Native English speaking people speak less foreign languages.


like we already get, French, German, English, Dutch, Spanish, Latin, Russian (optional) in early stages in school.

Yeah, we don't learn other languages because we don't really need to.  Everyone else already knows our language (and butcher the hell out of it over the internet) because it's extremely practical to know.  Like I said before, sucks for us because we can't have private conversation even in another country(European I mean) unless we talk fast or have a weird accent, and I guess I do talk weird so I'm good.

Although I know in Britain it is somewhat practical to know French based on the proximity to France and obviously in the U.S., you're gonna wanna know Spanish because they'll make up half the damn country in the next couple of years.  Latin-based languages are so boring to learn though.  I prefer German-sounding languages myself because you get a real satisfaction out of pronouncing something that any other English-speaking idiot would have a lot of trouble doing, and the words are fun to pronounce anyway.  Too bad we won't have a German class in my school next year, just Spanish (which you probably can't survive off when it's taught from here), French, Italian, and Japanese.

I'm very interested in languages and dialects in case that wasn't already obvious.

Are they mutually intelligible languages?

Sort of, you can usually get the gist of what they're on about, but I have a pretty hard time with it. And if I spoke Dutch to them I'm pretty sure they wouldn't understand me.
