"Is that a turtle?"

Translation: Is dat een schildpad?

[anfyddiwr]

Dutch nouns are remarkably literal sometimes...

[jioosting]

love it. makes remembering easier

[SaxyShinies]

Pssst can anyone clarify how to pronounce schildpad i cant do it for the life of me omfg

[RusHedgehog]

"S-heeld-pad"?

[AbdiMoh]

Doesn't schild mean shield

[spanish.waffles]

I suppose so

[Nar670]

Should not "is het een schildpad?" be accepted?

[WarmFoothills]

That would be 'Is it a turtle?'.

[Jordan843881]

How about "Is dat een shildpad"? Why is there suddenly a 'zees'?

[Jordan843881]

'zee'*

[Nar670]

ahhhh. Thanks. I did not think about that!
