The truth about DUTCH people | Dutch Stereotypes Explained | Netherlands culture, language, etc. 

Dude, Kom je Nederlandse paspoort halen man, jij hoort hier bij ons.

Give this guy a ticket to the Netherlands, he earned it.

This guy understands us. There is an inner Dutchie in him

Most dutch people don believe in god they just believe in real life

he looks so happy, like he's trying not to smile the entire time his words really warmed my heart

Ik voel me nu als Nederlander zo speciaal❤️😂

Dutch in the title equals G E K O L O N I S E E R D

damm bro your dutch isn't that bad my man. I also laughed so hard when he spoke about us being down to earth like that is so true. If somebody would steps up to me and asks how I am you, you could basically expect me to look weird to you with the face: what you want from me?

In het Nederlands zouden we zeggen: je hebt een "talenknobbel"! :-)

this guy is a legend. I come from the Netherlands myself and I like to meet this guy.

Tak - Taak = Branch - Task Vak - Vaak = Profession or Field - Often Mak - Maak = Tame - Create or fix It’s not easy with those A’s or AA’s Just 1 identical extra vowel makes such a difference.

Nou, dat nederlands aan het einde was wel goed hoor En je hebt zelf geleerd hoe je moet schelden in het nederlands, goed bezig

Hoe lang ben je hier geweest? Want je Nederlands is echt goed.

I'm Dutch, and when he burst out in grammatically correct Dutch, speaking to his friends... I have tears in my eyes. That's so beautiful.

I love how he understands that we are not rude but just real...I like he managed to really get our culture

I'd say we're honest rather than blunt.

his dutch is so good!

I'm Dutch and very non-religieus, but this is one of the sweetest things I've ever heard. So, you also taught me something: if people come knocking on my door for religious preaching (which in general displeases me), I will be kind next time, because who knows it might be someone as nice as you. Actually, living in the US was for me a bit of a similar experience as living in NL was for you. I really appreciated everyone I met there and I learned a lot.

My experience last year when i was in amsterdam. Most of dutch are warm people. They are very polite. Nice to talk with them. They are very open, they accept everyone.

It's a shame you didn't mention De and Het and the mystery of no rule when to use each (you just have to learn when).

That Wingardium Levi-"eu"-sa comment was golden, I plan on using that whenever someone wants to become better at Dutch. Thanks for your love and kind words. Wie weet tot ziens in Nederland!

Woow, wat lijk jij mij een geweldige lieve man!! Door jou word ik zowaar trots op ons volkje. Weet niet hoelang je in Nederland bent geweest, maar je spreekt bijzonder goed Nederlands!

Hi, Dank je wel voor de complimenten over onze taal en cultuur.Toch zal ik als botte Nederlander willen zeggen dat ik het niet kan waarderen dat mensen aan de deur komen om me te willen bekeren tot hun geloof. Ik vind het zendelingenwerk bijzonder aanstootgevend omdat jullie niet accepteren dat mensen andere overtuigingen hebben dan die van jullie. Ik denk dat God het belangrijker vindt dat je een goed mens bent dan dat je naar een bepaalde kerk gaat en elke zondag bidt. Ik respecteer elk geloof dat liefde predikt en ik wil dat mensen mij respecteren zolang ik in liefde met mijn omgeving leef. En wens niet een religie opgedrongen te krijgen. Ik wens jullie het beste, en zou graag zien dat jullie stoppen met dat zendelingenwerk!

Feel welcome to visit us again when the corona crisis is over! You explained it really well. It made me so happy that you were so positive about the Dutch people and culture!

I really LOVE this video... I've watched/listened to it twice and I really enjoy it. BTW, sober is the right translation for Nuchter.

Didn't i see you in a video before? I'm amazed how educated you are in our culture and history! You speak very inspiring and loving. It makes me proud and a bit emotional, as our people speak very direct and blunt. The message at the end was beautifull.

you're so wholesome!! thanks for being so positive and understanding :)

Wholesome vid to watch kudos man!

Thanks for your post. Wonderful.

Ik hou hoe je van ons land houdt! (I love how you love our country!) ❤ you are always welcome back!

Leuke video kerel! Pretty on point!

I really appreciate this, thanks a lot man for the compliments about Holland 👊🏻

Fact: 99% in the comments is Dutch, including me

Fantastisch gesproken, je bent zeer goed bekend met onze eigenschappen. "Hyper practical and extremely down to earth"

you gave me tears in my eyes in the end. Your dutch is so good! love from this dutch girl.

so true! great observation !

it's BIG fun to hear about our own culture and how other people see and feel it, deal with it. SO so fun xD

prachtig, goed bezig!

Dank je voor de mooie woorden. Ik zie het geluk op je gezicht staan 💪 Nederland is dankbaar met zo een mensen als u. ❤🌹

Je nederlands is erg goed.. keep up the good work..:D

"Ik mis de graapjes" haha! Je nederlands is erg goed hoor. Goed dat je zo'n mooie tijd had hier. Erg interessant om te horen hoe onze cultuur er "van buiten" uit ziet.

So glad you did this. I so understand my heritage now .

never gets boring.. so spot on

S' Hertogenbosch, AKA Den Bosch is from "De Hertog zijn bos" Which would be "The Duke's forest"

9:15 Hearing this guy recite stuff I learnt in 3rd grade gave me a blast of nostalgia.

Such a worthwhile video

Leuk verhaal, erg leuk om te horen.

You have a warm vibe around you. Jij maak mij vrolijk!

I somehow feel a bit more special now😂 you really are spot on with how you describe our culture as a whole! We could learn a few things from you when it comes to being a better person😜 bless you friend

Thnx man.thats very kind of you.you know us dutch very good im impressed.i wish you the best and hope all will pack out good on youre path.

Wel wel, lekker bezig zeg 👍🏻

Enjoyed your video very much. I am Dutch and you sounded like you were talking about me. I had a talk with a missionary like you about 60 years ago and I was very impressed, not pushy but very understanding of my feelings about the subject. About the names of the city's Den Haag used to be 'S-Gravenhage and before that, it was Des Graven Haag meaning the hedge of the Graaf (a Count I think). You see the city did not have City rights, therefore, it had no right to build a wall, so they planted a hedge. sHertogenbosh means the forest of the Hertog , You were right. Thanks again for your video. Maarten Jongebreur.

Loved your Dutch. Welcome back any time here!

Thank you for your kind words about our culture and i'd like to tell you: your smile and sincerity make you very handsome

Just wondering how you're doing now, more than a year after this video was uploaded. Really enjoyed watching this video and your thoughts about the dutch. Are you planning to go back to the Netherlands?

's-hertogenbosch (my city) means "The forest of the duke" in old dutch.

nice vid bro

So nice how you speak about our country, je nederlands is super goed ga zo door! Hope you feel much better now.🌺

❤ You're are amazing I'm getting emotional watching the end but in a good way You have a beautiful soul with a big heart ❤ Your honesty is so appreciate thank you so much. I do believe we can all learn from each other It's great to meet people like you even here ob you tube. Your Dutch is incredibly good and funny somehow too lol If you ever want to come back to visit the Netherlands know that you are always welcome, just saying I love people who inspire others and you definitely did inspire me. Much love sending your way from Eindhoven city Thank you so much for the video It's a pleasure watching at you 😘

Nice video man voel me echt speciaal

this is extremely cool man. you really get it! top of the hat to you sir.

We would love more Americans like you to come live here! You are Honest and heartfelt! I was tearing up over here! Americans usually come across as fake, not you! You’re welcome here anytime if it was up to me 😃

Moh when he started talking Dutch even though I'm not concerned I have some tears in my eyes

echt leuk!

Wat gaaf om dit te zien en te horen zeg! Groetjes Tony uit Nederland.

and btw.. Dutch as I am.. ik vond het een leuke video.. je spreekt HEEL behoorlijk Nederlands... ik ben blij dat je alles zo helder kon vertellen.. ooit zullen we je weer terug verwelkomen denk ik :-)

‘S gravenhage means de haag van de graaf (van holland) i.e. the forest of the duke of holland. It used to be the hunting grounds for the dukes of holland.

dude, this video is absolutely AMAZING!!! and ur Dutch is great and really understandable. i hope that you get to see your friends again!!! :)

great :) esp you talking about scootmobielen . (in dutch)i use one :)

Thx you're kind.

Loved your passion there at the end, you do understand our spirit a whole lot. It's not always rainbow and sunshine though, but I highly enjoyed your explanation. I felt that at the end and your Dutch is actually very good. Just a little fine-tuning and it'll be better. But you don't really have an accent that I'd recognize as American though. Greetings from Northern (Friesland) Netherlands.

Your dutch is great man! this vid made my day thank you

from wikipedia :-P The Hague was first mentioned as Die Haghe in 1242.[11] In the 15th century, the name "des Graven hage" came into use, literally "The Count's Wood", with connotations like "The Count's Hedge, Private Enclosure or Hunting Grounds". "'s Gravenhage" was officially used for the city from the 17th century onward. Today, this name is only used in some official documents like birth and marriage certificates. The city itself uses "Den Haag" in all its communications.[12]

Thanks for this video,becouse i living in belgium 😄😄😄😄i think you did great explaining my birthcountry love!i subscribe to your channel also put the bell on so i don't miss any video's you make again sweethart ❤❤

Haha, altijd leuk als ze over Nederland praten! Je ziet wel echt je bewondering

Wow! Your Dutch is really good. Nice video!

U bent zo geliefd op onze cultuur en mensen kom naar Nederland . je bent welkom .

Ik was al trots op ons landje maar hij maakte mij zo sentimenteel. Echt een top gast. I already was proud of our tiny country but he made me so sentimental. Really an awesome guy

‘They are amazing people’ I feel so good after hearing that! ^^ (I’m Dutch)

Goddamn dude, I'm impressed and touched by how much you understand us and respect our culture.

Finally a good video wich is not only about Amsterdam, this is great and correct about our civilization society and culture. Thumbs up :)

Wow man, you make me feel so humble, all that praise for us Dutch! You are amazing yourself and I have so much respect for you all, knocking on doors and trying to share your ideas with so many unwilling people yet always remaining calm and civilized. I’m pretty sure that we Dutch people could learn a lot of you in that respect. Oh, and thumbs up for your Dutch!!

Hearing such a different view on my own languadge is fascinating.

I love your video and of course for praising us for our being straight forward etc... by the way we have another language here next to Dutch in my province Friesland which the language is called Frisian and it's the most close brother towards the English language. Leer geen Nederlands als je verkouden bent en keelpijn hebt 😆

leuke video

As a belgian, you really sound like a dutch person to me. Your dutch is really good.

I randomly clicked this video and after watching I must say you are too kind, but I do relate to things you say when I look around. Anyways, you come over over a very nice person yourself. Have a good life 💪

A space or not between words that sound the same is giving a total different meaning to the sentence.. 1) Het boek van ver halen. Accent on 'ver' Meaning: Get the book from afar. 2) Het boek van verhalen. Accent on 'ha' Meaning: The book of stories. Den Haag comes from 's Gravenhage. The 's is short for 'des', meaning 'of'. Translated: The hedge of the earls, counts. Den Bosch comes from 's Hertogenbosch. The 's is the same. Translation: The forest of the dukes

I hope you can come back soon!

Ik ben total niet religieus maar bedankt voor je zeer vriendelijke woorden.

I’m imagining I’m not Dutch myself and listening to what he says Dutch people sound like good people. I am proud😗✌🏻

I dont know why this video popped up but Im glad I watched it. You're welcome back anytime bud. Your dutch is actually quite decent btw.

Nice to know someone understands the dutchies. Nice video and you are welcome in the Netherlands whenever you want to. Als je nog een keer langs komt kom dan naar Groningen daar woon ik xD

's Gravenhage means the "the counts' hedges" and Hertogenbosch means the "counts' forest".

@0:02 awwwwww you're making me tear up now

Je bent dankbaar, en je hebt geleefd! geen excuses nodig vriend! je bent een topper!

Dank je wel! Kom terug. Welkom.
