I see why you would think that. However, in her defence it is actually closer than it seems. Purely speculating here but, the correct answer is somewhere in her mind but she can't find it exactly. It has something to do with the royals. Their surname has orange in it (the reason the play in orange) and the national anthem (basically their family's anthem) has a sentence starting with the start of their name followed by a sentence about blood. I know it's a stretch and typing it out made it probably sound even worse😂 but I'm not deleting it now😅. Xx
Loved this! When you said “Dutch people are very patriotic”, I thought, no way, Americans are very patriotic. But just like someone else said, we are, but just don’t realize it.😂 I had 8 out of 10, so I’m a proud Kaaskop!😁
Hoera! Ik ben een kaaskop🎉 Wat een leuke video! De diversiteit van de mensen die je interviewden was heel erg leuk om naar te kijken! De edits worden ook steeds beter, en alles gaat super super goed! Ga zo door 💪
Apeldoorn must be one of the best places to live in The Netherlands. Friendliness and calmness of a village, amenities of the city and basically built on the Veluwe.
Fun video! I do have to say that compared to Americans on the street that can't answers the simplest questions, my fellow Dutchmen did a pretty decent job! 😀👍
I never ever knew that HEMA was short for Hollandsche Eenheidsprijzen Maatschappij Amsterdam. I also didn’t know that they’ve been around for almost 100 year. I do remember that HEMA has a very particular smell in the shop. It’s like new linnen combined with those cooked sausages and something else I can’t describe.
10/10. Usually I'm not very good with dates, so I was not sure about Rutte (2010 or 2011), but guessed right. The rest was not very difficult for me (I lived in Haarlemmermeer and worked for HEMA, (not at the same time and both a long time ago)). Thanks for the nice quiz!
Wat een leuke video weer. 9/10 goed. De Hema vraag niet uiteraard. Tja. Maar jouw lachkick maakt me zo vrolijk en is erg positief en aanstekelijk. Ga zo door!!!! 👍
On more modern cars, the rear window is designed so you can kick it out...| So if the danger will happen, than close all windows and than kick out the rear window.
It doesent really surprise me the girls dint know alot, the younger generation is raised alot diffrent then the previous generation where it was ok to be a bit nationalistic. The mostly leftist education of the past 30 years has left a bad connotation on being nationalistic. Also the younger generation is pretty detatched from our own country and it's history and culture and is raised with a very globalised way of thinking. I hope that the negative connotation created by the left side of the political spectrum will be over one day and we can all feel totally fine about being nationalistic, I love my country in many ways and I think its a good thing to express it. All the diffrent languages, accents, flags, cultures, customs etc. is what I like so much about especially Europe and the rest of the world. Makes it wonderful and way less boring right.
I trust the medical field of the Netherlands with my life I had personal experience with it in the Netherlands and they are super professional and compassionate I'm not saying this because I'm born and raised in the Netherlands I truly believe it. I have been all around the world (job related) and experienced it my self in other countries I just love my country. my parents are marocain and they feel the same way I really believe that the Netherlands is the best country in the world I'm not saying this just for saying it. after having children (4the generation)im thankful that my parents and grandparents made the Netherlands there home I proud of the Netherlands and there people and I will always say that sometime people also my friends complain about this that are important but I always say how good we have in in my country the Netherlands and sometimes it's good to stand still and count your blessings we have it extremely good in the Netherlands compared to other countries so yes I'm proud of my country and it's people and my opinion is that the Netherlands is the best country in the world and not anyone would agree with me but that's also the Netherlands opinions are welkome for sure I have nothing bud ❤❤for my country and I'm proud of it.
I'll be honest with you; I've experienced a lot of Moroccans that do not share your point of view while being born here and i'm usually very sceptic about how your community has developed in the Netherlands.. but it was heartwarming to read your comment and I hope more of your generation will appreciate the netherlands and the people in it going forwards.
I did pretty well but I just flat out said Historic European Matrial Arts to that question, which is TECHNICALLY correct, but probably not the answer I should've been looking for
3rd question for you and HXC top 3 things you would never give up now you have lived outisde america that you adopted from your new home , and obviously why.. Myself 1,) my son and ex are Dutch. 2) its a welc9me challengeband a differnt experience every day 17 years later , 3, ) the grass apparently was greener on the otherside of that 23 m8le wattery fence between UK and mainland Europe for me (#Fbrexit)
Looking forward to the next level version of this: why was the voc so successful? Why do we split bills (to go dutch)? Why do we complain so much? (or is this a general fault in every human). Why do we think you shouldnt pose/show off? Why are we so direct in our communication?
The VOC was not that successful. It went bankrupt. We got rich with trading with the Baltic states. That sounds a bit boring, but that’s the truth. 🎉 And the grachtengordel was not paid with the trade in slaves…
oh man... why the Hema question... I knew it when you said it but the only thing I had in my mind is the alternative version of "Hier Eet Men Afval"... still got a 9/10
@@exploringtheforeign Please come ask them in Utrecht so I have the chance to find you and participate heheheh. Ok.. the chances of you asking the questions and me being in the city center at the right time are slim but hey... you never know. (unless of course you give me a headsup on the email in my "about" :P )
@@exploringtheforeign I'm presently in NL for the month preparing to move here from NYC. Thanks to ur channel I was able to connect with Noah of Ladybird Chicken as well as enjoy a delicious meal! I really appreciate the information u make available. 😊
Oh! And one item of constructive criticism: I'm a native English speaker but there are times when ur speaking English so fast I don't know what ur saying. LOL! And now that I've been putting out some creative content on Instagram to make sure my family knows I'm alive & well I see that I do that too! 😂
Oh wow! This is super dope to hear!! You gotta shoot me a message on Instagram, it's always fun connecting with other Americans moving here. Glad you made it over to Ladybird and met Noah! That's one of my favorite spots to eat and I always bring people there when someone's visiting. Lastly, thank you for that feedback! It's been a problem of mine since I was a kid and is something I'm trying to work on (it's just difficult haha) but I'll try to get better at it!
You're right, we're very patriotic. We just don't like to admit it. I mean, we don't even dare to be proud of our own achievements. Don't even consider being proud of your country. I mean, patriotism is even worse than pride: it can result in war.
What do these questions have to do with patriotism? The meaning of patriotic is "having or expressing devotion to and vigorous support for one's country". These questions only determine your general knowledge level about the Netherlands.
Hoi Sam, Het blijkt dat ik een super kaaskop ben (10/10) maar toch ga ik het land verlaten. Ik ga in Willemstad wonen. 10 punten voor jou als je weet waar dat is!
Nou ligt Willemstad natuurlijk oom maar in Brabant, dus zou het niet per se emigreren noemen. 😂 Maar ook Curaçao is natuurlijk een land binnen het koninkrijk der Nederlanden... Volgens mij behoud u gewoon uw Nederlandse paspoort? 😅
@@H1SCOTTY 😊 Klopt. Ik verlaat Nederland maar niet het koninkrijk. Het was bedoeld als een trick question voor Sam. Net als zijn pijnlijke vraag over hoe vaak wij wereldkampioen zijn geworden. 😄
Oh no, guess I have to immigrate to a country with clear beaches and great rivers to kayak. Anyway... While there are definitely things in the Netherlands of which I'm 'proud', I never thought myself to be patriotic. And looking at my answers for questions 6, 7, 8, and 10 was "I don't care". guess I was right. The only question is; my answer to question 4 was "Feels like 50 years. He's been in power for what? 12+ years? So 2010? 2009?" would you count that as correct or, since I said 2009 last; as wrong? Please send the answer to no where because I don't care. Also I think you may have gotten Answer 10 wrong. While I can find what H.E.M.A. stood for, the dots were dropped after the war and I think they've dropped the abbreviation entirely.
Hey, it's not patriotism if NL is actually, factually, the best country in the world. Which it is! Just stating facts here, no bias at all😆 Anyway, my score was 7.5. I missed Zeeland (can't believe that I did 😳), Schiphol and I knew H and M but not the other 2. Ik mag blijven 😅 Leuke video weer!!
I was also something like eight out of ten. Where the one couple had Amsterdam right I knew it was Hollandse Eenheids Maatschappij who would place Amsterdam after a region as Holland
You can't but love those girls - what they miss in knowledge, they make up in high-spiritedness. Maybe there's a lesson there. Me? About 8. You tricked me with the WK too, I thought 1996, wrong in every way. Mark Rutte (very topical) I was in doubt - 2010 2011? ... I did know the trivia ones ('HEMA' - ), but then again, I'm a trivia fan.
Kaaskop is originally someone from Alkmaar. It's almost the same thing as calling someone from New York from ''the city of Angles'', or calling a Texan ''a Yankee'' 🤭
7 out of 10. * I missed the question about Rutte * I answered Hoofddorp as the municipality where Schiphol is located. Hoofddorp is the biggest town in the Haarlemmermeer, and the gemeentehuis is located there. I didn't know that the entire polder was a single municipality. * For the life of me I don't know what HEMA stands for. At least I can stay here ;).
I only had the question Hema not right. The frustrating thing was, I used to know it. And I am very compatative, so, in good Dutch: Ik baal als een stekker!
7/10 so i still have some work to do :), glad i dont have to leave the country yet. What i really appreciate about our culture is "polderen" and the not too strict hierarchy. The boss/leader still makes the decisions but will consider input from those below her/him. One thing i really dont like is "act normal, thats crazy enough", it would be great if we could lighten up a little and have more fun. Thats why carnaval is so important! :)
Just the Haarlemmermeer wrong. Knew it wasn't Amsterdam, but Hoofddorp was the only thing I could come up with. But I live close to the German border, so I will bring that up for louzy excuse. 😊
@@exploringtheforeign Denmark is even better. If you think Digid is great, wait til you see how our Mit-id works. Eventhough our taxes are higher here, we get loads more for it as well. Even loaning books at the library is free i.e. Health care is on par with the Netherlands, but we don't pay for expensive insurances. It is mostly in our tax as well. Our yellow card is world renowned. Besides that... We do not have a 24/7 mentality here (yet) across the board. Most still work normal office hours or from 6 am to 3 pm. The Rush hours in the afternoon starts around 3 pm to 5 pm but spread. You never hear about traffic jams as you do in the Netherlands. Traffic jams around Copenhagen seldomly reach 10 km. Mostly they announce 1-4 km. So I am actually glad I moved here. And Denmark is also known for it's cycling and public transport infra, not on par as in the Netherlands (yet), which is really great. Everything is just more spacious and relaxed than in NL.
That was fun :D And i get to stay too (8/10) \o/ Keep them coming Sam :D (That HEMA question.. i think only about 5% of the people here know that hehehe)
