hey @snder is this dutch (looks like it).. if so can you explain the word winkel here? I thought that was the word for a store or shop?

@snder Actually does the dutch even use the U witht he dots above it? I'm starting to think maybe this is just german.

It is german :)
"Winkel" translates to "angle" i think

@Vael

Thanks, i started to suspect as much. What the german word for a store or shop?

@snder

@freemo
"Laden" or "Geschรคft" or we just use shop too
@snder

@Vael

Wool thanks. Its weird sometimes German is basically just dutch with extra letters. Sometimes they arent even in the same ballpark.

I live int he netherlands trying to learn it but I must admit german would be easier.

@snder

@freemo
I know that feeling. Sometimes when i read dutch i feel like i understand it but i actually have no idea. Classic case of "well yes but actually no"

@Vael I only speak english so i feel that way no matter what language I read :)
