Is the Dutch language have any connection to English? because there are some Dutch words that are similar to its English counterparts

Is this a joke?
>>
>>68761172
They're similar. Take this sentence for example:

Hoi schattig. Je ben mijn gefavorit anoniempje. Ik kus je

Hi sweetie. You are my favorite little-anon. I kiss you

As you can tell you can see where the similarities and differences lie.
>>
>>68764356
>Hi sweetie. You are my favorite little-anon. I kiss you
>Hola dulce. Eres mi pequeña anónima favorita. Te beso.
Wtf? Can you right the first sentence in english in a manner that makes sense?
>>
>>68761172
>Amurigan edgeuhmuhcashun
>>
>>68764356
this, due to modern english having old english and germanic grammar, other germanic language are structured similar
>>
>>68764356
Kek did you use Google Translate for that sentence in Dutch?
>>
>>68764643
Huh? It makes total sense.
>>
>>68764643
*write
>>
>>68761172
It's English's closest relative.

>>68764770
>Hi sweetie. You are my favorite little-anon. I kiss you
How does that makes sense to you? Do you see yourself saying to anyone that she is your favorite (for whatever reason, even if she does not know you) hence you'll kiss her? What the actual fuck that's like poo in the loo facebook harassment tier

Yes, they have a common ancestor, Frisian.
English has been Frenched though.

As you can see, Dutch is a very simple language. The grammar is almost like English, to speak Dutch, you just write out your sentence in English, move the verb to the end, add ge- to make it past tense, and replace English words with their Dutch spellings if you know them. You don't have to, though, Dutch is very tolerant with this and the meaning should be conveyed regardless. The Dutch are usually very helpful in /nederdraad/ to converse with you and help with your grammar.

To be honest you have to give the Dutch credit, they are able to compose a sentence in English and transliterate it on the fly to Dutch while they speak. Honestly I think it's an obsolete language because of this extra step. They should just switch to English.

>>68769112
btw the English translations for my sentences would be

>what is this
(wat is actually spelled this way in Dutch [lol] so they don't have the "wat" meme. Instead they say "what")

>this is not good.

>I poo-poo

>I will fuck Dutch cuties this afternoon.
>>
>>68769112
>>68769160
What the fuck are you doing
>>
>>68769112

You aren't speaking Dutch at all though. Google translate would do a better job.

Although Dutch and English are indeed similar in many respects. You are just not doing a good job of demonstrating it.

You're wrong, except for Frisia, Low countries was dominated by the Franks.

wat is er aan de hand jongen? Dat klopt gewoon hoor, Jiddisch is een soort van verkrachte versie van het Duits.

Hebreeuws (waaraan je misschien denkt) daarentegen is een Semitische taal.
