"Ik heb geen ouders."

Translation: I have no parents.

[balber123]

Ik ben de nacht. Ik... ben... Vleermuisman!

[linguistish]

I have now learned a new amazing Dutch word. Bat is FLYING MOUSE!

[RaynaudM]

In french it's even worse : "chauve-souris" means bald mouse.

[sim_schi]

I think it is more "flapping mouse", like the German "Fledermaus" what has it's origins in "vleder" (old German word for to flap).

[PereHernnd]

We say "ratpenat" in catalan which literally means "sad mouse"

[TheJiro]

ets un geni tio

[GaelicGirl2]

In dutch it is related to fladderen. That's a bit more gracious than flappen/flapperen

Fladderen is I guess part flying part floating. Often used for a butterfly

Ah flutter! That's the english word for it.

(Flap sounds like struggle but not really getting anywhere)

Vleder itself actually used to mean wing aswell in dutch. (Some dutch people might recognise vlerk, also old but not ás old)

Edit I did some research and at one point it was called flittermouse in english. (Not too long ago because some dialects still seem to know the word and found a quote in a book from 1970)

[MuyGood]

In Norwegian, you say "Flaggermus" which means Flapping mouse

[mangakoibito]

I may end up with my innervoice reading dutch in batmans voice for at least the rest of the evening!

[Allison24Argent]

I somehow waited for that comment

[MihirBhagat]

Is ouders, by any chance, related to 'oud/oude'?

[fleeceovis]

It sure is. Like how sometimes your parents are referred to as your elders.

[TrentNock]

Flying mouse man? Ahaha

[RadioScotch]

Wahs internally

[ShesarAndri]

Said an amoeba

[Dextery666]

I'm batman!

[BagasPrako]

So sad

[ThatOtherG11]

Must be an orphan

[thebigtwills]

Poor lad

[Captn4wesome]

Je bent een goochelaar, Harry!

[GaelicGirl2]

Een goochelaar is the guy that pulls a rabbit out of the hat and does a few cards tricks.

What Harry is is een tovenaar.

[lemonheadofficaI]

Same

[Garth752311]

Would "i do not have any parents" also work?
