(Screenshot of a social media post, user posting an image of Jar Jar Binks with a speech bubble for the post replied to. Post is from a Dutch politician stating "We hebben een serieus probleem met de politieke ontwikkelingen mbt de dwangwet en ik hoop dat dat de komende dagen kan worden opgelost. ")

English: spank me daddy.

This guy has been doing stupid hair and spewing far right bullshit for longer than trump.
Pretty sure he didn’t blow bubba though.
Dutch = Gungan
I'll never see it any different from now on
The difference between grammatical and literal translations is always so funny. Here, let me explain:
Dutch: geef me een klap papa
Norwegian literal: gi meg en klapp, pappa
Nor to English literal: give me a clap, dad
Norwegian situational; smekk meg, far 😏
Nor to English literal: smack me, father 😏
Give me a clap Pappa!
Wait. How are the Dutch not Gungan again?
More importantly, Geert Wilders is not a serious person.
I'm a little surprised how much of that knowing Danish allows me to reasonably interpret when reading it. It's just a pity I made this marvelous discovery trying to read something written by fucking Geert Wilders.
And still manages to have a more consistent spelling than English.
I'm german, never learned dutch and the only part I couldn't make sense of is "mbt de dwangwet".
That being said, Geert Wilders is a racist cunt and right wing populist.
Does indeed often sound horrible. Is, however, quite comprehensive.
Dutch Vander is a J. K. Rowling type of name for a character
I can't even understand it and yet it still manages to make me sick, like strawberry Quick. Thanks Lucas!
