Leave the bathhouse cheese alone, though

I wasn't going to get into how we form possessives; it will confuse and scare them.

    It works the same in English, though, just with the suffix ‘-ish’ (and a number of other suffixes) instead of Dutch ‘-se’. You could literally translate ‘Goudse kaas’ as ‘Goudish cheese’, Gouda just never gets the ‘-ish’ suffix (or any suffix at all, really) in English.
