It's basically German and English when spoken simultaneously by a madman with too much spit.

    Tbh this is a kind of toddler-speak, full of grammatical weird and would never actually appear on a train station message board, which is entirely the joke.

    But it has nothing to do with the actual dutch language. It's akin to photoshopping the menu of a Chinese restaurant in chinlish and then using that to comment on the actual Chinese language.

    I mean tho, dutch is pretty silly outside of this, e.g. “De Man is Dood”

    It's just: "De man is dood". We don't capitalise nouns, only proper nouns like names and places (same as in English). Germans do, but that language is even weirder than ours. 😋
