Den 05.07.2026 kl. 19.01 skrev wugi: > BTW how do compound verbs 'work' in North-Germanic? The general rule is that compound verbs can't be split. I may look like they can, but with a split the meaning changes. There are, however, some that can be split. I can't say how many. Examples: opløse = dissolve løse op = loosen e.g. a knot udtage = select (a team for football WC) tage ud = knit an extra mask to widen the knitted item Splitable verb: tilføje = add Føj et link til dine bogmærker. Tilføj et link. Today the verb is seldom split for some reason. And in the unsplit version people miss a specification, so the common way is: Tilføj et link til dine bogmærker. where "til" is repeated. -- Bertel, Kolt, Danmark

Two false friends in one word. BTW, your French background is showing again: correct Dutch is 'trajectcontrole', (one word) Jan -- And you are exaggerating.

Mais oui, 'Mille millions de mille milliards de mille (sabords)' ! The English translation is poor. (as so often) 'Blistering Barnacles' may be alliterating, but it lacks the possibility of naturally piling up multitudes, like it should, to accommodate his rages, Jan

Just someone with a better eye for the peculiarities of Belgian Dutch. (than you have) This is not at all exceptional: outsiders usually have a better eye for peculiarities than native speakers. This forum is of course a perfect illustration: AmE and BrE speakers for example see each others peculiarities in usage much better then the natives in these dialects can, Jan

Sounds like Botswana, which must run a close second. I once drove off the main road into a small town to look at something or other, and rejoined the main road a litte further on, having missed the speed limit sign, and got a ticket just over the next rise. -- Steve Hayes from Tshwane, South Africa Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Blog: http://methodius.blogspot.com E-mail - see web page, or parse: shayes at dunelm full stop org full stop uk

Why don't post in French newsgroups?
Why posted it in alt.usage.english
& alt.english.usage ? :)
NOT IMPORTANT AND NOT A PROBLEM; I'm just curious.

Well, fr.soc.politique is a cesspit (c'est le far west là-bas), and in the other French groups I know that aren't dead, it would be squarely HC (hors charte). > Why posted it in alt.usage.english > & alt.english.usage ? :) Why did I start it in aue? Aue is nicely flexible. On y parle de tout et de rien, sans pour autant perdre de vue le sujet de fond. We exchange without limits here, while always returning to English usage. > NOT IMPORTANT AND NOT A PROBLEM; I'm just curious. > (Yes, I know.) That, indeed, was my impression. Posted to aue only.
