Are DUTCH people PROUD? 

The Dutch are so proud of their country, when there is a random RU-vid video with the word Dutch in it, everyone watches. 😂

Zet dutch in de titel en heel Nederland kijkt😂🇳🇱

We are way to proud. We dutch people even look up videos how great we dutch people are, and then we say to our selves zie je wel!

Brazilian sitting next to a Belgian talking about the Dutch: "And they do have the best beer." CUT CUT CUUUUUUUUTTTTT!!!!

I think they confuse nationalism & pride with 'we really like parties'. I'm not particular proud of the Netherlands, I do like Dutch and I do like the Dutch mentality, but mostly because it's my home. But I think it's really a personal interpretation for 'outsiders', as you can see in the video; the opinions differ a lot.

This is the first one that I don't recognise at all. National pride to me seems to be very low, especially compared to France or England. Dutch popular culture like music and films are seen as an embarrassment or "guilty pleasure", teens prefer to speak English sometimes or say that Dutch is an ugly language. Nationalism especially is really not a thing here. Maybe very recently with all the identity politics throughout Europe this has started to rise or become more visible, but for me it really feels like a recent development. Only football has always been an exception.

love the orange socks!

These people are prouder of the Dutch than I a Dutch person am

I would like to say this to Adrian: when we speak English (or ANY foreign language we know) instead of Dutch, it's not because we're not proud to be Dutch. Instead, it's because we take pride in our ability to adapt, and to speak a foreign language as well. This, too, is a part of our heritage that we're very proud of. In the 17th and 18th centuries, when the V.O.C. traveled the world for trade, they learned that it really benefits to speak and thoroughly understand the language of your host. That's why we had the English, the French AND the Spanish hunting us down: they were jealous of our wealth and how we gathered it in trade! (hahahahaha, just kidding). So we've taken this a step further: we think that, as a host, it may be profitable to speak and thoroughly understand the language of your guests/customers.

*me proudly watching the dutch flag from behind my window*

2:30 *hurricane Katrina* Me: _MoRe LiKe HuRrIcAne tOrTilLa_

Proud of our history huh.. (Insert gekoloniseerd joke)

Wow, quite an informative series to watch as a Dutch citizen. Makes me appreciate things I took for granted. Thanks a lot!

The thing about the family, squabbling between eachother, but bond when attacked, is so true. Plus sports and innovation

Natuurlijk zijn we trots op ons land. Ik ben trots om Nederlands te zijn en zou het niet anders kiezen. 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

A country so nice they named it twice!

wat ik wel heel vervelend vind is dat vooral Nederlanders van mijn leeftijd (ik doe het zelf ook) steeds meer Engelse dingen overnemen door het internet. we praten steeds meer Engels en gebruiken Engelse woorden, we nemen Amerikaanse tradities over (halloween is bijna populairder dan sintmaarten) en we kijken veel meer naar Amerikaanse series en engels youtube bijvoorbeeld. ik heb echt het gevoel dat door mijn generatie de Nederlandse taal gaat veranderen naar een soort Engels dialect😂

Hahaha. That's so true. We complain about almost everything although we have the most things pretty well managed. But when foreigners complain about our country they will be put on their place.😂😂

Ja ik ben zeer trots op de geschiedenis van Nederland wat we hebben bereikt met dit kleine landje!

Daarom koos ik (een Amerikaanse vrouw) ervoor om in Nederland te wonen, mijn oma (aan mijn moeders kant) was Nederlands en mijn moeder (was Schots maar kwam in 73 naar Amerika). Hij koos ervoor terug te gaan naar Nederland omdat ik me voel alsof ik daar thuishoor. Ik weet niet waarom, maar ik denk dat, omdat ik veel Nederlandse persoonlijkheid heb, en ja, mijn oma heeft me Nederlands geleerd omdat ze dacht dat het op een dag nuttig voor me zou zijn en ze had gelijk!

So proud that we watch video's about the dutch, being proud to be dutch while being dutch with fellow dutchers. in a land of more dutch.

I watched this while my mom and I were hanging the flag bc my brother graduated 🇳🇱🎒

I am proud G E K O L O N I S E E R D

It is funny, I often hear that we love to complain (true, very true) and it usually implies we have it good here and no reason to complain as much. Nobody seems to consider it is because we complain that things get better.

I'd say we arent usually very expressive about it. We don't show it as much as for example the Americans and their ridiculous patriotism. But we aren't any less proud. And when we do choose to show it, it's like a bomb of nationalism.

I'm Dutch, many of my friends are Dutch, none of them are nationalistic or genuinely proud of our country. The only sense of 'nationalism' I ever experience is during sporting events and Kingsday - and that's not about national pride at all for almost everyone who takes part in it.

I feel we are proud when necessary. Celebrate a lot because we are very sober. I like the descriptions. I also found we are welcomed with open arms around the world, thank you!

This video makes dutch people even more proud! 😂❤️

Bart, bedankt! Het is bijzonder vermakelijk, hoor. Deze inkijk in onze cultuur door de ogen van een schattige collectie buitenstaanders is ontwapenend. En leerzaam!

I fell in love with the poffertjes :-) and the little flag on top

This video does me so much good, makes me feel even more proud

Didn’t realise we’re such a proud people ;)

Have lived my entire life in the Netherlands and the only emotion I know is depression

Getting a bit homesick again (been abroad 15 years now...) Really nice and balanced ideas are expressed. Proud but not over the top...

Dont get the dutch started on their water works. Now, thats something we are proud of.

We love you Calvin, greetings from TU Delft

Mijn overgrootvader was Nederlands. I'm proud of that; it's a good feeling.

But the thing we are the most proud of is that everywhere you are, you have WiFi😂😂😂🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

I've never came across a Dutch person that is proud of being Dutch. I don't really think we think too much about it, and it's more just tradition we follow.

Nederlanders zijn trots maar ook beschijden en dat maakt het zo'n fijn land🇳🇱❤

When I heard that a Dutch student invented a way to clean up the oceans of the immense amounts of plastic in it, I was very proud to be Dutch. Plus we recycle about everything: glass, plastic, metals, paper, etc. Also I'm proud of our mentality of 'doe maar normaal, dan doe je al gek genoeg' = 'act normal, that's weird enough'. Try to be a decent human being, who is part of the solution, instead of part of the problems in this world, is important to me. Thinking in solutions and strategies to make things better. That's what makes me proud and happy.

You know what they say: It ain't much, if it ain't Dutch!

this makes me feel so proud to be dutch

0:29 best comment 'if you let them' Priceless! Excellent observer(ess).

Great video!

The one with the socks doesn't even get the joke going on. It says, I'm a hero. But because it's on the socks, it actually refers to a saying that goes; held op sokken (hero on socks) which means you're no hero at all.

In Indonesia, We are still using some Dutch Words nowadays, but not a lot as 40 years ago.

I really appreciate how honest the people in the video were. Also about how Dutch people complain about non important stuff. I totally agree! And I’m Dutch.

I left Holland more than 20 years ago and I am still happy that I did. There are many things to be proud of in Holland of course! But I have never found it a pleasant country and culture to live in. However, since I have been able to compare Holland with two other countries where I have lived, loved and worked, the Czech Republic and Australia, I have learnt to really value the Dutch political system and its civilised laws and institutions.

I am proud to be DUTCH and to be living in a nice small AMAZING country. Dutch people are relaxt people. I love MY amazing country.

🇳🇱🧡✨ Maak er een mooie Koningsdag van!!

Dutch are just as proud as other European countries. Almost every country id the same when it comes to pride.

They are very, very proud! When they got sent home from the Songfestival they found a dancer by another country who was Dutch and they were really PROUD of that. They search for anything Dutch anywhere to be proud. It's like they have to be involved so they can be proud.

Video made me proud. Maybe we are not that bad after all I guess

You can only be proud of what you have achieved, i am proud if what we as Dutch have achieved. But nowadays there are a lot of idiots that want to be negative about the Netherlands and call everything racist and bring up everything we have done wrong in the past, they love calling everybody a fascist or Nazi. I anticipate that one of those is already popping a vain to react to this.

1:40 Wow, hit the nail on the head!

Football matches, I recall that time when they lost against Spain, so apt with "de konink van Hispaanie heb ik altijd geerd"

Ik hou van dit soort filmpjes wij zijn gwn de beste

04:24 Okay, we complain. It's true. But that's exactly the reason why a lot of systems and roads work here. Because when something isn't up to standard we complain and work towards something better.

IF you aint dutch, you aint much... ;-)

Ik hou echt van deze video’s ook om te zien hoe andere mensen denken over NL en nog een goed voor mijn engels

True. I don’t correct foreigners trying to speak Dutch though. I’m proud of every word they can say correctly and praise them.

Heel leuk kanaal. Een welkom (positief) tegengeluid voor het soms negatieve imago van de multiculturele samenleving. P.s.: klopt dit alles grammaticaal? Ik ben soms zelf de weg kwijt in de Nederlandse taal. Excuus.

Ik voelde me zo trots op Nederland door dit te zien.

Always been proud to be Dutch , and now am a proud Australian.

Yes we are and proud about it

weetje waar ik trots op ben? het weer XD het is altijd verassend niet vragen wanneer het gaat regenen maar hoelaat XD

To anyone who came to The Netherlands and decided to live here. Youre one of us now, feel proud to.

Heel leuk of we zo trots zijn, ik zou wel een beschuitje willen delen met Abigail 😜

Als we het gaan hebben over uitvindingen... Het gat in een CD of DVD is zo groot als een dubbeltje. Omdat dat het enige ronde ding was dat de uitvinder voorhanden had.

It is true that we are proud despite being a very small country achieve big things on the international world stage

Dit soort filmpjes geven mn ego nou echt een boost

3:37 "young kids have the same polite manners..." no they don't. I'm a waiter. And everytime i bring something for the kids. The parents be like "what do you say then??"/"wat zeg je dan??" And the kids be like "............." nothing comes out there mouths. Not a single thank you. But oke lol.

2:30 the only thing i heard there was *hi my name is Catrina*

Ik ben zelfs zo trots op Nederland, dat ik nu in België woon en nog steeds mijn ID van Nederland niet wil inruilen voor die van België😊

Amazing great country to be born and to live in!

We dutch people are also proud of our education. We have a really good school system, and we also have to learn a lot of languages. I do gymnasium, which means that I have Greek, Latin, Dutch, English, French and German, which is also something a lot of people are proud of.

5:55 precies dat.

What happened to the Indonesian guy at the beginning (Robin)? I would've loved to hear his thoughts.

3:35 sorry, but street language is much more dominant amongst the youth now. Sadly (the youth is really going to shit now.) “Why?” you may ask. Because other cultures (mostly Turkish, Moroccan, and stuff) reproduce twice as fast (literally. Moroccan for instance get maybe 5 children per household, meanwhile the Dutch get a maximum of 2 per household. These cultures also tend to be more violent, for example: my brother was attacked yesterday (he got punched, kicked and his shirt was torn apart. The whole shirt-show) and nothing could be done against it, because he’ll just play the racism card. They also tend to drop out of school more. And when they get paid less, it’s “Racism”. Another example: they’ve been changing “Sinterklaas”, because they think it’s racism, the helpers of Sinterklaas (saint Nicholas in English) are black, because they enter trough the chimney, just like Santa, and because Sinterklaas is white it automatically tied to slavery. So how do you ruin a holiday, you make other helpers like “Kaas Piet” (cheese Piet), because of course let’s bring up offensive Dutch stereotypes ,which aren’t even true. They appear to think we have to adapt to their culture, in stead of they adapting to ours. And you are probably thinking I’m the racist one here, but I’m not. I hate to see people generalise those cultures. They’ve already made a bad name for themselves, not every one of them are bad. Those who adapt can stay here, but those who don’t even try can leave this country immediately.

Lessons this way is so funny... i enjoyed every youtube from all these people so far.. and yes, we Dutch are a bit weird lol

We are awesome! ;D

Dated and traveled with a Dutch girl. I always offered to get a place to stay and if it had a coffee make she would always feel super boujee. Haha I miss her so much.

I do agree with this video and these foreigners, living in The Netherlands, seem to understand it. We are not overly proud like we don't start classes in schools with singing the 'Wilhelmus'. Most people even don't know the words and disagree with this. More and more people don't even like the Royal Family. It's not the Royal Family that makes us proud although many people kinda love to wave flags and dress in orange. We just love to celebrate. It's not just that we cheer for our national team but also (rock)bands that come to play find the Dutch audience amazing because we cheer and appreciate. But with engineering and finding solution we claimed land from the sea. We colonized the USA, South Africa, Australia, etc before the British took over. Almost all Dutch people speak several languages and are beloved guests in almost all countries. We were the first to allow gay marriage. We were the first to allow marijuana for self use and thought that prostitution is a business. We even take pride in being direct that others sometimes mistake for being rude. We are also very pragmatic and adopt to changes well. Even if we disagree with the changes. We have always been open to people that like the Dutch way and don't want to change it. If you don't like the Dutch way and want to change our way of living you are also not welcome and we tell you. I talk to a lot of people from all different countries and I'm republican and don't like our Royal Family, but in times I notice that I'm proud the be Dutch. That Abigail from Ethiopia with the orange socks. That's cute. She does understand.

I have a brother-in-law that's Dutch. Eats bread and cheese all the time. Enjoys beer.

Navigation a shipwrecked crew who found themselves on an island of the west coast of Australia (17th century). In the sloop and primitive navigational aids found their way to present-day Jakarta.

I'm proud that we are relatively openminded, that we are small but have quite a lot topsporters and great inventions. But mostly it's that a lot of people say 'o, wow, you're dutch' while traveling, that made me feel 'o, I should be proud, I guess'. There's also a lot of stuff I'm not proud of at all (for example history, millionairs that shouldn't be millionair, destroying nature, not very welcoming/nice to refugees etc). I would rather say that I'm blessed I'm Dutch. And when I celebrate King's Day it's because I like to party and that everyone is in orange and when I hang out the flag when I was 17 I didn't know it had anything to do with pride: Just a tradition. So all in all I think we are quite average when it comes to pride

Als Belg ben ik deels jaloers op hoe trots de Nederlanders zijn. In België is bijna niemand trots om te zeggen, ik ben een Belg, enkel tijdens the world cup. We zeggen meestal, ik ben een Vlaming of Waal aangezien Wallonië en Vlamingen elkaar niet afkunnen. Als je iemand vraagt om de Brabançonne te raken ze bijna nooit verder dan de eerste 2 zinnen. Oh wel.. Still love my country.

I'm Dutch and I'm proud ya

🇱🇺 Thank You!

Reclaiming land from the sea, becoming the second largest agricultural exporter in the world, the 17th century Golden Age, what's not to be proud of?

Hey, ik zag geen link of mailadres op je website om te solliciteren, maar ik zou graag helpen om mensen nederlands te leren spreken, dus als je nog nakijkers nodig hebt...

Im not dutch, but I kinda feel very proud of the country!! The NL is such an amazing and unique place to live. Also when some tourist generalize amsterdam as being the whole country i get pissed off hahahahahah

Dit is dan ook echt een koningsdag video

Meet some foreigners, learn them some average Dutch words like tietebel, vetklep, poepstamper en ouwe kontegraaier. Certified Good Times as a Dutch person.

4:37 well guys it appears we are kinda ancient greece those where like squabling family but attacked by foreingers united

@3:34 I am a teacher in the Netherlands. I really wish that were true sir... It is not the fault of the kids though. In my experience it is the lack of rules/structure for the kids that teachers apply. The lower someone is educated, the bigger this problem is. But that is just for the teachers to deal with I suppose ^^

So I think there's something to be said about pride. For me there's a clear difference between for example patriotism and just being proud of something. For example I am proud of our country as clearly The Netherlands offers a lot to countries that others don't always see and because we are so small our voice often gets deafened. And I think that's why we Dutchies tend to wave our flag around when we can. For example at world championships. We tend to win a lot of medals and then suddenly people know us. We invented a lot of stuff etc. But what I don't think we have a lot is Patriotism in the way for example the USA or France has. We embrace diversity to the max whilst still maintaining Dutch roots. But we don't try to promote ourselves better than we actually are. When something happens, like winning a medal, we like to say ' yay we're good ' but what I notice from certain other countries is that they say they're good... but don't always have the receipts to back that up. Take for example France that doesn't like to speak English for some reason. It's as if their language is holy and as if they can never do something wrong. In those cases we tend to be very blunt and be like ' ow come on we all have good and bad things, we're not perfect but we do our best. And if the largest news is how our trains keep coming a minute too late than I think we're doing fine ' I guess what I'm trying to say is that we tend to be proud of what we've achieved and what we are to other countries even if it doesn't show as fast. And even though we're not everywhere in the news like America for example, we do a lot of things behind the scenes and we don't mind that at all. But when it does happen that we're in the spotlight, we do like to take that moment and then give it to others again without complaining. And I like that.

Yes they are very proud 😇

I Am Not Really Proud Of My Country ( I Am Dutch) Because They Enlsaved A Lot Of People And Stopped It Really Late But We Are Very Open To Other People Who Are Not Dutch We Also Really Speak English A Lot For Example If U Say Something In English We Always Ask ''Are You English Or From The UK'' If They Say Yes We Talk A Lot Of English With Them We Also Have On Schools Double Language Lessons So We Do Learn Lots Of English.
