THE NETHERLANDS OR HOLLAND
DROP
Officialy our country is 'the Kingdom of the Netherlands'. The country consists of twelve provinces. Two of them - North and South Holland - historically had the most maritime and economic power. This is why our country becaome also known since the 17th century as Holland.
You havent experienced Dutch culture if you havent tried our delicious drop or liquorice! This salty sweet candy may take some getting used to, but watch out, before you knowit you'll get hooked...
WE LOVE ORANGE
A very important word in Dutch language! It can be translated as yummy and can be used for just about anything: a meal can be lekker, a feeling can be lekker, a person can be lekker. For example: een lekker broodje is a tasty sandwich; een lekker ding is a hottie and slaap lekker means sleep tight.
Orange is the color of the Royal Dutch Family. Members are called van Oranje (of Orange), a title of nobility. The House of Orange-Nassau (van Oranje-Nassau) has played a central role in Dutch politics since William I of Orange (Willem van Oranje) organized the revolt against the Spanish rule, which after eighty years of war led to our independence.
DUTCH!? In old English Dutch simply meant people or nation. In the early 1500s the Netherlands and Germany (Deutschland) were all part of the Holy Roman Empire, and referred to by the English as ‘Dutch’. That English custom is still in use.
LEKKER
GEZELLIG Pronounce: heh-SELL-ick. We Dutchies love all things gezellig, which includes everything from cozy to friendly, from comfortable to gregarious. For example: a brown café is gezellig, a doctor’s waiting room is not gezellig, though it can be if you have
gezellige friends with you!
