Let’s write “I Love You” in different languages
Je t’aime (French)
Aishiteru (Japanese)
Saranghaeyo (Korean)
Te amo (Spanish)
Mahal kita (Tagalog)
Я люблю тебя (Russian)
Ik hou van jou (Dutch)
Drit og dra (Norwegian)
Kocham cię (Polish)
Ich liebe Dich (German)
Jeg elsker dig (danish)
я тебе люблю (Ukrainian)
So in Dutch, the informal way of saying ‘you’ is Jij.
The formal way is ‘U’. Why.
And then plural is ‘Jullie’
Who is Jullie
The British call them crisps.
The Americans call them chips.
But i will always prefer the Norwegian one, potetgull, which directly translates to potato gold.
I’ve always liked the name of the dutch dish, Patat Oorlog, meaning french fries war. It’s chips (you know, like fried chunks of tater what you ‘ave wi’ ketchup) with mayo and peanut sauce. If only I could find a vegan version…
