Stand up at the meeting suddenly and yell out "Wij moeten oorlog verklaren!".

Then sit back down and look around at everyone else suspiciously.

*babel fishing...*
Wij moeten oorlog verklaren! --> We must explain war! Status: OK.

Iedereen in Brazillië zuigt --> Everyone in Brazil sucks Status: NO WAY.>

Sorry...that wasn't the nicest thing to say..I first thought it was funny, but now I read it..

Anyway, how do I pronunce those?

Ehhhm ...

Wij moeten oorlog verklaren!

Wij: the IJ is like the ei in 'eifeltower'
moeten: oe as in shoe.
oorlog: in this case, the double o is pronounced as a single o. And the g ... think of it like Arabish.
verklaren: pronounce the single a as a double a.

That was actually supposed to say "We must declare war". Stupid fishy.

And thats a lot different from what my best guess of its pronounciation would be. Toughest part of learning a new language is definantly getting the pronounciation right.

That's ok, I wasn't mad at you... Just joking... Stupid smiley...

OMFG...

I think I got it right, except the oorlog arabish thingie...
Anyway, I won't be using it very much, according to Hangie's translation

[Rick]

Well the 'g' is pronounced very differently in different countries...we pronounce it similar as Arabs do.

[edit]
yay 500th post

Alright, I have to take care of the following:
1- eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
2- assure universal basic education
7- guarantee enviromental sustaintability
8- establish a world-wide partnership for development

As there are some people here that live in the Netherlands, as your representative (ooooh, I like the sound of that ), I would like to hear from you about these issues.

1) we have too many McDonalds, we send some over ok?
2) there has to be an obligation to have education first over there (is there?) and enough schools. If done that, i am sure we have more then enough teachers. The problem is, most teachers became something else. But with a good salary...
7) well don't keep chopping the forests over there. I can even see the destruction on Google Earth! But anyway, you need some of point 2 and another job... Perhaps train them to become teachers...
Thats called world-economy afaik, which you already have. Just make sure you don't get depended on stuff you already have in your country. Don't sell your ass off, make profit.
