[The Spartan (Returns)]

Soy bien paracido.

[Caius]

¿A quien eres parecido?

[The Spartan (Returns)]

im still an... intermediate.

[Caius]

Aqui no creo que aprendas algo nuevo.

[Csargo]

Hola maestro. ?Como estas tu?

I know a wee bit of Spanish. I wouldn't mind learning some Dutch though.

[The Wizard]

Bienvenido a los Estados Unidos. ¿Hablas Español?

[Stig]

Que?

I know NOTHING ... I am from Barcelona

[The Wizard]

So you speak that malicious and barbarous collection of nasal intonations collectively referred to as "Catalan"?

Ew.

[The Spartan (Returns)]

[Moros]

Call me now teacher =Ahora llamame maestro = Noem me nu je leraar.
Hello=Hola= hallo
How are you? How=Como Are=estas you=tu ¿Como estas tu?= Hoe gaat het?
When you write a question in Spanish, you must use ¿ at the start of the question and close with ? / No bizarre questionmarks in dutch!
I'm good=Estoy bien = Met mij gaat het goed.
Thank you=Gracias= danku

Now, let's start with a little vocabulry list:
hond=dog
kat=cat
ik=me
jij=you
hij=he
zij=she
wij=we
jullie=you (plurial)
zij (plurial) =they
zijn=to be
groot=big
klein=smal
aardig=kind (like in that's verry kind of you)
mooi=beautiful
mijn teennagel is geel=... well, Just tell it to a dutch girl and you'll get laid.

[Craterus]

Now everyone will be able to understand the TYOLT!

[Caius]

perro=dog
gato=cat
yo=me
tu=you
el=he
ella=she
nosotros=we
ustedes=you (plurial)
ellos(plurial) =they
to be=ser o estar
grande=big

[Moros]

perro=dog
gato=cat
yo=me
tu=you
el=he
ella=she
nosotros=we
ustedes=you (plurial)
ellos(plurial) =they
to be=ser o estar
grande=big
pequeño=smal
tipo=kind(what type of kind are you talking about?)
bonita=beautiful

kind like in:
Thank you very much indeed, that's very kind of you.
A child is kind when he or she helps an old lady to cross the road.

But not like in:
That's rare kind of animal, there are only 5000 left.
Kind in the meaning of a type.

Anyway it will be hard to talk without knowing how to conjugate verbs in dutch. Now let's start with the dutch variant of to be. = (te) zijn. "Zijn" is, like to be in english, an irregular verb. We'll start in the simple present, the "OTT" in dutch.

Ik ben = I am
Jij bent = you are
Hij/zij/het is = he/she/it is
Wij zijn = we are
Jullie zijn = you are
Zij zijn = they are

Now a regular verbs, they're all the same in the ott.

for example "zitten" (=to sit):

ik zit (drop the -en and drop the last letter too, if the last letter is double and right behind an a, u, i or o.)
=I sit
jij zit (a "t" is added unless there's already a "t" for example springen=> jij springt, however a "t" is added after a "d" even tough you can't hear it.)
=you sit
Hij zit (same comment)
Wij zitten (always the infinitive for all plural form's in the simple present.)
=we sit
jullie zitten=you sit (plur.)
zij zitten= they sit.

And that's it.

[Dutch_guy]

We must not let that happen...

[Craterus]

You Dutchies are banking in on a lot of unmoderated spam in there. Some people might want in on it!

I say: On with the Dutch lessons!

[The Wizard]

No wai! The TYOLT is ours!

Hmm, feels surprisingly good to post so much again in such a short time period (I consider the term "spam" utterly unappropriate, ignorant, and derogatory; indeed)...

[King Henry V]

Can you help me?= ah, gij hebt ook stijf toupkes?
How luch does it cost?= Ik ben vette Eddy en wil tjoeke-tsjoek doen.
What time is it?= Ik draag een wollen onderbroek.

I don't know any Dutch (only German), but does the one before last not mean "I wear wollen underwear" or something like that?

[Csargo]

I thought Yo ment I in Spanish

[GreatEmperor]

There you go.. King Henry V is too smart for your jokes GG

[Dutch_guy]

I don't know any Dutch (only German), but does the one before last not mean "I wear wollen underwear" or something like that?

Yes it does.
