SYSTRAN is a bit funky (as you can tell! :lol:) did you say "You can say, but can you hear?" :unsure:

 

At any rate, Dutch is a really hard language. I recognise far fewer words than if I was reading French or Spanish... :(

Hé, Pete! Lukt 't?

Oh, en je mag wel je zeggen hoor...

 

Hi, Pete! Is it working out okay?

The next line is a dutch thing. In english there is just you. In dutch there's the polite version 'U' and the informal version 'je'. So translated it's something like: you are allowed to say you (informal). :lol:

Ah, now I understand. Seems like many other languages have formal/informal versions of "you". But you know how it is here, were really just a bunch of upstart heathens and such... ;)

 

I really should learn more Dutch, I work with our Netherlands office almost on a daily basis. Unfortunately I'm quite lazy and since they already speak English...
