Anyone speak Dutch?

This is what Babel Fish says...


Picture Cornflower Blue, where we had still heard that woordspeling? Oh, yes that one of the favoriete colours of the Dutch master painter Johannes Vermeer was. It is a shade of azure, is light of colour with relatively a little green appearance. Just like the album that here net on our mat has ended up. Sober, records and (h) honest. Even if area to uprightness me that to proclaim I had heard never earlier of these link. And I am ashamed myself deep, very deep. This Americana/folk music present two-high rolling mill of Canadian origin with proudly their second album. The very accessible `manage Down The Rails' in advance a broader public will address than its predecessor Infant Songs', that could count then already on a schare fans. The album was registered in their thuisstudio and has surrounded by an unique sound. Singer Theresa McInerney and Trevor May (jet ear, mandoline) has himself gladly surrounded by Deanna McDougall (violin), Dasha Korycan (bass) and drummer Rob MacLeod. The space which Theresa and May for the backing create is thus subtle. Itself-produced instruments gives immediately also an appreciation to the eight superb tracks. Theresa voice timbre return our unconditionally to think of Nathalie Merchant of 10,000 Maniacs. And our now exactly a violent supporter of Nathalie lets be. Simplicity, the embarrassment, it characteristic and frugality which hides in Theresa song brio provide here too kippenvel us moments. The fluent gitaarsolo its pleasantly subdued, already the opening number has - tevens the titeltrack heuse zydeco influences. `Cold Lake' are uptempo, but `Car in The Parking Lot' and `Mr. Air Traffic Controler' is immediately melancholic rocksongs. `Morning With The Young man Revistited' is folk music getint with mandoline bey-shudder-delicate arrangements. The remarkable rare covering version `Fisherman Blues' became themselves world-famous The Waterboys.

Marko speaks it.

Always sending me articles in crazy languages I can't read! :blob7:

We're not to speak it on this forum, though. It angers Cagey. :icon_jokercolor:

It doesn't make me angry. I just think it's silly and inconsiderate. Who speaks Dutch besides the Dutch? So, you end up looking like little girls whispering to each other so nobody can hear because you'd be embarrassed. In the meantime, everybody wonders why you're bothering to post if you're not interested in participating in the conversation. And with Babelfish available it's not like you're keeping any secrets, you're just adding steps to reading what you're writing with the added risk of being misunderstood.  No matter how you look at it, it's poor practice. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Well, the Flemish, and the South Africans speak it backwards!

No worries.  I'm glad that you'll translate it!  I'm also glad that they like it.  Anyone know any Dutch record distributors?
 
As a translator by trade, I would greatly appreciate it if everyone would stop using Babel Fish, Google Translate and the like to translate blocks of text. Thank you.  :icon_biggrin:

Very well; I'll go back to translating one word at a time with no regard to context  :icon_jokercolor:

Much obliged.  :laughing7:
 
You have to admit though, it is hilarious sometimes.  Like when it translates Baby Got Back into German as "I like big (cigarette) butts and I can't lie down."  :laughing7:
 
@marko w'rom sprekuh we nie plat haags? Kenne die Amerikanesuh d'ur heluh-maal geen taw an vast knopuh.


translation: why won't we speak the The Hague-dialect? That should make it bloody hard for those Yankees.
 
I rekin sumyal furiners mite run inta fair bit  trouble unnerstandin sum are dyelects too, if yaint from round here.  At least when spoken out loud.

Went for training last week at the local fire department. Heard the fastest talking extreme southern accent I have ever heard in my life. He could've been Puerto Rican except for the sounds he was making were southern, just sped up 10x.
 
Might've been from southern Louisiana, like New Orleans. I've heard that accent/speech pattern a few times and it's pretty unique. When you first hear it, you'd swear it's a different language. Very southern, but very fast, which is unusual for southern dialects. Once you get past the dialect and the accent, it's not so bad. But at first blush it's tough to understand.
