*PAUSE WHEN YOU SEE THE QUESTIONS TO PLAY ALONG, AND LET ME KNOW YOUR SCORE*😁 See how the Americans did with Dutch trivia here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wZNPxyLHvs4.html
Isn’t it amazing that you can ask questions in the English language in a country that doesn’t use English as their native language and get answers instantly.
@@leonhaven6262 leon you be suprised how the levle of english is outside of the entherlands and any native spekaing country. in the netherlands yes its common, go to south or east europe, go to south america africa or asia and its so different on the elvle of english
In Indonesia they also answered when asked an English question. The answer usually was a hesitant Yeeesssss?? Including when asked: is the trainstation to the left or to the right? And: how do we get to hotel X from here? :-)
Dude, Ik wil je niet over het paard tillen, maar weet je wel hoe f-ing goed je bent met sociale interactie. Zelfs als het stelletje zoveel foute antwoorden geeft: geef je hen toch het gevoel dat ze erbij horen, dat het gezellig is. Petje af.
As a Dutchy, 9 out of 10. Missed out on the number of stripes on the flags. Guessed 12 instead of 13. I know what the stars and stripes represent, can never recall the exact figures in these sorts of questions.
@@e8gj4jg84u I have zero interest in American football, but I do know that Tom Brady is a footballer. Wouldn’t know him from Adam to look at, but I recognise the name. The issue for me is that I always get his name mixed up with Tom Hardy (who’s an actor, another of the options). Really had to disentangle them in my mind before answering here.
9/10 i figured MacDonald's as well. I know white castle from: Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, but for the rest totally unfamiliar with it. The rest i knew. 13 strips i knew cause i love history, and knew it was for the original 13 states also know as the Thirteen Colonies. Tom Brady i knew from watching to much American stuff Thanksgiving i know cause every 4th Thursday of November I talk to a lot of Americans online, and 2 of em already over 15 years 1 from Texas other Michigan.
I got 10 out of 10 although I was very suspicious about the "trick questions" about the fast food chains and the official language, so that made it a bit easier. Hadn't I seen the options for those I would have gotten 8
@@exploringtheforeign Thank you! Yes, I was taking a leap of faith with the last one by assuming it was a trick question (I really wanted to get 10/10 when I got so far)
I screwed up the language question.. I think I actually might have known that at one time. It's confusing because in Canada we had 2 national languages when I was in school but I wouldn't be surprised if they added a bunch of Indian languages since then.. anyhow so it's hard to imagine a country not having the concept of a national language
This is why I prefer quizes with open answer questions instead of multiple choice. Only then do you know if the person actually knew the right answer and didn't just guess (or was reminded of something they'd forgotten about).
Hoi Sam, Ik had er acht goed! 😊🏆 Ik had White Castle en Thanksgiving fout. Als oud aardrijkskunde en geschiedenis leraar waren de andere vragen goed voor mij te doen. Het was weer een leuke video 👍🏽
Hoi René! Echt goed gedaan! Ik kan me voorstellen dat met jou achtergrond, die andere vragen heel makkelijk waren! Thank you for watching and playing along; glad you enjoyed :)
I got 8 out of 10. Never heard of that fast food chain before and really didn't know the US doesn't have an official language.I learn something new everyday😅 Your Dutch (pronunciation) is amazing btw! I'm impressed😃
I got 8 out of 10 too.But instead of failing the question about the official language in the USA, I failed the question about when Thanksgiving was celebrated.
Fun fact pertaining to question no.4: The declaration of independence is actually based on the Dutch declaration of independence where we declared our independence of Spain. It is called the “Plakkaat Van Verlatinghe.”
My Dutch history teacher probably isn't going to like this. 6/10 I'm happy with it though hahaha. The White Castle and especially the official language fact really surprised me. Learned something new, thanks!
8/10! It surprises me that so many contestants didn’t know about most of the questions. I guess I know this much because I talk to Americans online a lot! Great video as always!
That was fun! Would be GREAT to see you ask average Americans the exact same thing. To find out what kind of knowledge isn't being taught at school. But once again, people would have played along without the offered money! In fact, it takes away a bit of it, because of the stupid money. Money dilutes fun instead of adding to it. Did like the Dutch presents at the end, though a typical American present might have been more in place :) Your presentation was awesome, as always!
I got 9 out of 10, only the last question i got wrong because obviously i went for english as the official language. And... i"ll admit 13 stripes on the flag was a lucky guess. I've always found it interesting that New York used to be New Amsterdam, just like other names in new york are based on dutch names: Brooklyn=Breukelen, Harlem=Haarlem, Broadway was originally based on the dutch Breede Weg and we have streets here called Breestraat wich would be Broadstreet in english. I also just learned just now that there is so much more, there are towns in New York called Watervliet and Kinderhook and the town of Hempstead is based on Heemstede, Bushwick=Boswijk, Gravesend is based on 's Gravesande and the Hudson river is named after Henry Hudson, who was the first to travel there on behalf of the WIC. the name Manhattan on the other hand is a European bastardisation of what the Native Americans called "manna-hata" wich would mean island of many hills, though there's multiple interpretations of that, another document refers to it as "Manahachtanink" meaning "Island of intoxication" wich was a consequence of the dutch settlers gifting the native american tribe there alcohol.
9 out of 10. I didn't know about In-N-Out. I'm also very impressed at your Dutch pronunciation. It's almost perfect and there's only very gentle hints that you're not a native Dutch speaker. Can I ask how you learned it so well?
Wow, thank you!! That's a really nice compliment to have haha. I've just been learning through integration to be honest.. watching TV, listening to conversations, being around my gf's family etc😁
I (Dutchy) had about 6 right answers. I was surprised that the questions I'd think were quite easy (Texas, Thanksgiving) were struggles to the contestants, and the questions I was struggling with were answered so easily by some of the contestants ;) I guess it shows that we all have our natural favorite topics and fields of interest in life. Good to see!
9/10! 😁 Got stuck on the fastfood one, I assumed McDonald's! It's refreshing to see this turned around; too many videos about Americans not knowing stuff about Europe, but as we can see here: it's not always better on this side of the pond... Your enthusiasm is contagious by the way! Do you have any plans to maybe be a 'professional' presenter on Dutch tv/streaming/online? You're already quite professional obviously, but I mean outside of your own channel!
Hey Jesse! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for playing along! I appreciate the kind words, man! As far as being a host, my dedication is to my RU-vid page at the moment, but I'd be open to guest appearances or something on a show! That would be really cool haha.
😅 Wait, what? There is no official language in the US? 😮 I got two questions wrong and that was one of them. I also didn't know how many stripes are on the flag. That was so much fun! Really good questions! That winning couple was impressive.
@@Helleuw123 That's a myth unfortunately which started circulating due to the Constitution being printed in Dutch for the New Yorkers. (But also in German for Pennsylvanians)
@@MrDagren not a myth, dutch was the second msot spoken language but sicne there so many they did decide to go for none, and the english being a no gob akc then was logical
9/10 (Dutch here as well). Only wrong answer was #5 about the burger chains. Answered McDonalds, though I already suspected it would be one of either C or D as I'd never heard of those before.
The questions were too easy 😂I scored 9/10 never heard of White Castle before so I guessed McDonalds 😂😂 History and Geography were my favorite classes so I guess that helped! Keep up the good work Sam 🙏❤️
I’ve been to the US many times, and many Dutch people say most Americans are ignorant about Europe. I found that not to be true, it all depends on the person. Some people really knew everything about Europe and the Netherlands others told me they truly loved Norway when telling them I was born in Amsterdam 🤣🤣 I guess it’s the same here with our views on the US: it all depends on who you talk to!
I don't even know how I got 9/10 as well, but I guess that social media and the fact that I remember pretty useless things quite easily helps alot. I only had that question about the stripes of the flags wrong. I couldn't remember if it was 12 or 13.
History and geography (also my favorite subjects), american movies and sports really exported culture like never before. I only knew about white castle beacuse of the movies Harold and Kumar from the early/mid 2000s. Im portuguese and grew up in spain xD..awesome job on the video bud x
Great questions! I think the score is super divided depending who you ask! I feel like of you ask more possibly introverted internet people these questions, you'd statistically get higher results than when you ask outgoing people enjoying the day outside haha! I got 8/10 (football player and the flag stripes)
@@MissMoontree being smart has nothing to do with it, he's just saying introverted people usually spend more time on the internet, wich makes you come across a lot of american information randomly all the time, making it so they know more of these answers
you are such a kind and joyfull being, I love watching your vids more for that then anything being said honestly lol. edit: but your energy is contagious so the conversations are funny as well
I knew about White Castle, so did not fall for that one but i did fall for the official language question... in hindsight it's an obvious answer.. And i also mixed up September and November, so.. that'll be 16 Euro's please ;) Good questions, couple of advanced questions too, certainly one of the better questions games i've seen on this topic :)
Got 5 out of 10. Not bad considering I don’t know much about USA. But you weten in Zwolle? Had ik dat geweten! Heerlijke stad. Daar 4 jaar gewoond en gestudeerd! Nu woont en studeert mijn dochter in Zwolle. Kom er nog heel vaak 👍🏻
Got 10/10 and I live in Zwolle so I feel like I could've had a shot😂 (un)fortunately I was on a roadtrip with a friend across the northern/northeast US, so that may have been cheating a little bit 😅 I do love how super friendly Americans are
Great quiz!! I got 9/10. Thanksgiving tripped me up 😅 Wasn't sure, I knew it was either "November or the month before" (because of thanksgiving and halloween) but didn't realize October was missing 😂
Haha, thank you and thank you for playing! :) I'm kicking myself in the butt for not putting October as an option, would've really tricked a lot of people lol.
Nice. Had 9 out of 10. Missed out on Thanksgiving, confused as I was as my sister live in Canada, where they celebrate in October. Surprising to see so many guessed the Lone Star state wrong... Trivia such as the story of White Castle I knew from being addicted to Uncle John's Bathroom readers and other Americana.
In summary, I got question 5,6 and 9 wrong. From which our host did not know number 5 until he researched it as well. (And he didn't know number 10 either.) For everyone interested into the mind of another Dutch man, my reasoning is down below: 1: C. This is something I learned in high school. 2: D. I watched some videos online and this stuck as a cotcha against any American. 3: A. This was purely a guess based on the reasoning that Americans seem to like American Football. I have never heard of his name. 4: C. Like question 2, I got this from watching videos online but just happened to store it in my brain. 5: A. This was purely a guess and sadly it was wrong. I did have a big feeling it would not be mcdonald's so I gambled on the other big chain. 6: C. I know that the stars represent the amount of states but did not know that the stripes stood for anything specific. So I gambled for the middle of the remaining three since it's definitely not 50. 7: C. I got this from watching documentaries on the television. 8: B. Everything is bigger in texas, so they need the space... 9: C. I have no idea. 10: D. With how accepting the US is of the spanish speaking population, there can't be an official language or this would be enforced a lot more. (The USA really isn't that free in my mind...) And if you read this far, feel free to donate the €14 to a charity if you can.
imagine only getting 2 of those questions right when you finished highschool and 5 of those questions can be answered by knowledge retained from history classes that are mandatory....
Great video, really enjoyed watching it. You are great at street interviews and have nice energy. With all due respect, i would offer a suggestion. What would be been nice in this video is some extra explanation at some points in the video, like new york used to be called New Amsterdam. Points like this makes the video more educational.
Thank you! And I appreciate the feedback😃 I did mention that the Dutch used to own New York and I had a photo with a map of New Amsterdam, but I'll try to do a little more detail next time🙏🏾
Had er 9 goed. Ging fout op de strepen. Leuke video, je maakt leuke content en laat ook echt een stukje Nederland zien. Vaak worden dit soort videos opgenomen in Amsterdam, Rotterdam of den haag. Leuk om eens zwolle te zien op beeld
Asking people outside the US about an American football player is kinda uncool, only people from the US care about that no one else does. still funny stuff though.
Mooi dat je door Nederland heen reist. Kom ook eens naar Kampen, de Nederlandse stad die tussen de 14e en 16e eeuw de Grootste van Nederland was en 4x zo groot als Amsterdam
Scored 8/10. Failed on White castle and on the stripes. Tom Brady I just happened to guess right but I really didn't know him 🤣 Really fun video!! Sub'd!
5/10! Though like 2 of those wrong ones were so obvious i'm ashamed to say which ones they were x) Really fun video your social interaction is amazing!! 💜
I'm dutch and I would have known most answers without multiple choice, except the stripes, the first fast food and the thanksgiving one. Thanksgiving movies are disguised as Christmas movies here...I would have guessed November with these options.
As another fellow Dutchy, 9 outta 10. I went wrong on the language, which I feel was a trick question any way :p And I do love coming with Dutch gifts, always going to make people happy with those. Though I feel bringing American Gifts would've been more cool!
Ik had er 9/10 had alleen de vraag met de burger food chain fout, maar de vragen waren echt super makkelijk het verbaasde mij hoeveel het niet to goed deden.
As a Belgian I got a 7/10, did not know the questions about Tom Brady, the fast food chain and Thanksgiving. And as I am writing this I have already forgotten the answer to the fast food chain question.
I personally got 7-10 questions correct. Didn't know about White Castle, the amount of stripes and Tom Brady! I can't help it but feel like this doesn't really represent how much most Dutch people know about America though, as I was so shocked these people didn't even know where Texas was on the map!? I'm sure most Dutch people would get at least 6 correct. But regardless, that was a very fun video to watch! And it was lovely to see Zwolle, the city that I went to college in being represented here! Finally an American that's somewhere other than Amsterdam! I'm sure most people watching (and reading) this will be Dutch, but if you're an American (or another foreigner) watching this and are planning to visit the Netherlands in the future. I'd highly recommend visiting the city of Zwolle! It's a beautiful old city with a lovely vibe and lots of terraces you can sit and eat! It's only about an hour away from Amsterdam by train, and the city itself is very walkable!
I thought the questions could have been better - why would anyone know about Tom Brady or White Castle (since it's not even exported)? As an American, I have zero interest in Tom Brady. I can't name a footballer on a Dutch team, yet I think I would do well on a general test about the Netherlands.
Nice vid. Nobody ever goes to Zwolle to film, how did you like it? A tip for the video is to show the answers just a little longer on the screen so it's easier to play along.
I got 6/10. I didnt know who Tom Brady was, didnt know how many stripes, didnt know about the fast food (white caste?), and didnt know about the language. Still proud I was secure about the rest of the answers :).
