As a Dutchman, I just want to make something clear. We are more than happy to see people try to pronounce our funky words since we too realise our language is just stupid at times. It made me smile seeing you try to pronounce IJsel, among other words. Have a great life to whoever is reading this :)
I'm British but I absolutely llloooovvveeee the Netherlands wishing all the best for them.
dankjewel, jij ook -) (thanks, you too!)
@@budje hoi jij bent ook nederlands
Thanks mate!
Thanks
BatChest I LOOOOOVVVEEE THE NETHERLANDS
The poles are not because it's low but because the soil is to soft to build on. So they used poles to reach a lower layer of sand who can.
He made so many mistakes lol
Yay! The Netherlands is my favourite country on this entire planet. Love from Hungary! 🇭🇺❤🇳🇱
Edit: LMAO at his pronunciation of IJssel. 🤣
Also Curaçao it's pronounced kurasao not kurakao
@@ZasukiJean i thought you pronaunced curaçoa like kurasau
Gg i am netherlands
Gg ik ben nederlands
@@murdermonkey_lol me too
Ik ook
ikr! Someone with no clue or inclination to pronounce anything correctly, just phonetically reads all the Dutch words as though they were English... "Rijksmuseum"... Yikes!
The Rijn River doesn't flow into the IJsselmeer, the IJSSEL does. The Rijn flows through Rotterdam into the North sea.
De Maas gaat door Roffa en de IJssel is een aftakking van de Rijn en de Maas is een rivier opzichzelf dus hij heeft gwn gelijk
@@yologames2474 doet niet af aan t feit dat het de IJssel is en niet de Rijn. Anders zou het Rijnmeer heten ipv IJsselmeer 🤔
Na Lobith waaiert de Rijn uit! de Waal, Pannerdensch Kanaal, Nederrijn, IJssel, Merwede, Nieuwe Maas, Nieuwe Waterweg, Hollands Diep etcetera.
@@daluzsoares dus heet t niet de Rijn :-) Oceanen hebben ook niet 1 naam ondanks ze op elkaar aansluiten.
@@robertboender5816 The Rijn river doesn't flow into the IJsselmeer, the IJssel does!! De Rijn stroomt niet het IJsselmeer in, de IJssel wel!! LET OP DENK NA!! De Rijn stroomt niet in de Noordzee de Nieuwe Waterweg wel!!🤯🤯🤯
My daughter was there on a trip in the summer of 2019. She loved it there and would go back in a heartbeat
fun fact: the second c in curacao isn't pronounced as a k, but as an s
it’s because it’s ç he knows
it’s not really a fun fact .-.
@@eaglejetsweareone4313 ...too you
@@noahvandenberg3637 how is it a funfact if u freaking spelt curacao not curaçao if u put curacao its pronounced kurakao
Tyvm
Fun fact: KLM is the world's oldest airline
That's not a fun fact.
@@regntonne You must be fun at parties
True !!
(Schiphol being the oldest
in the world)
My favourite part was when he talked about the Netherlands
yes
The Netherlands is the second largest agricultural exporter after the US not China.
Helaas China is uitgegroeid dankzij onze hulp en staan nu 2e
Love they way ur trying to pronounce all the difficult Dutch places 😂🥰
Lmao same
He said hoge Veluwe so fast, I couldn’t even hear him 😂
fun fact: one block in the nether equals to eight blocks in the overworld
I'm from Belize and despite being a Central American/Caribbean country our prefer cheese (other than Happy Cow cheese of Austria) Dutch Cheese (Edem) is our go to cheese that we put on practically any food that normal see other cheese like from pasta to Latin dishes and sometimes on pizza and they are found in or on our traditional breakfast dishes
Another fun fact: We do have delivery services that solely deliver flowers. Also, the Netherlands is home to the largest flower auction in the world, from where flowers, bulbs, vegetables, fruit, and any other kind of plant is sold to buyers all over the world. It is so large, that it has its own internet exchange and a massive datacenter located nearby, to give buyers and sellers the lowest possible latency.
Happy New Year, Chris. Keep up the good work.
Happy New Year, Rami! Thank you very much
@@101Facts you're welcome. Here's hoping 2022 is good for the both of us.
Love 101 fact always great videos
American expat to the Netherlands here.
Every time you said Zuid, I actually cringed.
Also, the coffee thing is really true. We have free coffee machines in government buildings, coffee stands at train stations, the university I go to is flooded with those things... Coffee is everywhere.
One more note: Our agriculture is so good, we have some of the cheapest groceries in the world. For instance, I can buy a bag of apples for 3 Euros, a loaf of bread for 1 Euro, and a kilo of chicken for 7 Euros.
Yes,but 13 cups of coffee per day???Seems to much really..
@@computeraddic675 He said 3 cups a day. And it depends how much caffeine is in your coffee. If Im home I make coffee with a drip machine and get by on 1-2 cups a day, but when I have to drink the flavored water at the office, yeah Im making a lot of trips to the machine.
The Dutch and Scandinavians are the largest per capita consumers of coffee in the world.
Great video! Some more fun facts:
The dutch also invented donuts
They sometimes call their country a little frog country
Love your work, blijf zo doorgaan!
"The poses of the lions have different names. You learn something new every day"
Me, a heraldry enthusiast: Yes, I knew that.
I really loved the video asa dutch person!
Thanks for the video!
Deja Vu...
1:02... proper pronounciation of the island Curaçao is "Cure-A-Sow"👍🏾
Yeah... Pronunciation was not my strongest point in this video
@@101Facts do proper research next time
Thank you for this!
Fun fact: I've seen a lot of people struggle with double vowel sounds
Ui/Uy: I didn't know how to type this, so just look it up in translate xD
IJ/Ei: basically a combination of ‘Hey’ and a short ‘Eye’
Oe: Oo
IE: as ‘ee’ or ‘ea’
Eu: Not sure how to explain this one too
Ou/Au/Ao: ‘ow’
Ee: ‘a’
Oo: ‘oh’
Aa: ‘ah’
Uu: like ‘ou’ in a weird Scottish ‘you’
II is not possible, you'd use ‘IE’
Now triples:
IEUW: ‘ew’ the w is just used because why not.
Eeuw: like a long ‘ew’, same use of w
Ooi: Just like ‘oi’
Aai: ‘Eye’
Eau: ‘oh’
This may help with your pronunciation
Hi Chris loved the video keep up the great work sir I was wondering if you could one day do a 101 facts about buddhism? That would be awesome I've always had an interest and respect for the religion
Nice vid as always.
And have good day/night.
102: We Dutch are extremely direct, open and fair.
We, the Dutch, have been summoned ✨
YES... I was wondering when it was time to have facts about my country
Jij spreekt Nederlands?
@@aurathedraak7909 jaaaaa. Is dat raar?
Do you dislike Irish people or is that a myth?
@@red4life848 nah I Love the Irish. I got friends I game with weekly who are Irish and live in and around dublin
We don't serve beer at McDonald's in the Netherlands unfortunately 😂
It's not healthy 🚫
Just wanted to say. Love this video. I am Dutch😎. Some of the provincies u actually said correctly. Good Job 👊🏻
As a dutchie living in a small country, its really fun to see video's like this and reading the comments.
And yes, its a normal thing for us to watch video's about ourselves, we are a tad self-entiteld ;)
Zo is dat
You did forget the most successful Dutch company: ASML. The only company, that builds those super modern lithography machines, that allow Intel; Samsung and TSMC (Taiwan) to produce those modern 5nm and 3nm chips.
Always love Vids about our small country! I forgive you for butchering the names XD I hope people realise there is more to the Netherlands besides Amsterdam! Keep up the awsum!
chef here...where would be the best place in the netherlands to try some authentic cuisine?
@@loner1520 check if the towns you want to visit have a market Day. Best place for Haring en Stroopwafels!
That pronunciation of Curaçao 🤣
@@loner1520 A little bit late to react.
I am Dutch and our authentic cuisine is great, but very simple. A piece of meat, vegetables and potatoes.With some gravy.
I don't know the word for stampot in english (Potatoes mashed with vegetables), slow cooked beef.
We luckily also have a lot of foreign influences on what our dinner looks like.
(and i like for example, a chopstick, some cooked potatoes, with gravy and let's say some broccoli)
I always cook to much potatoes, so the next day i crush them a little bit and bake them, some onions, seasoning and a total different taste, but i guess you know this.
Fact 102; We must be the world’s 2nd most patriotic country , to proof this lots of Dutchies will watch this video. 🇳🇱 🧡
Who’s the most patriotic? I wouldn’t say the USA
@Thierry Parte I’ve seen many square miles in the US with no flags. Canada has a ton of flags everywhere. No one can say who the most patriotic country is without spending a large amount of time in every single country in the world. Having a lot of flags doesn’t make a country super patriotic
@@Iamtheliquor I’d say the general culture is inherently patriotic. What do you expect from a country where children pledge allegiance to the flag from a very young and impressionable age.
@@royhoeksema5720 Yeah of course most people there are. i was saying no one can say which country is the most patriotic. People show patriotism in different ways
This merely proves we have excellent internet access. Lots of Dutch watch lots of videos on the internet.
Am I the only Dutch person that is like: ‘since when do we sell beer at McDonalds?’
We had a Roman border in (now) our country by the way, the cities of Maastricht and Nijmegen keep disagreeing about which is older, both are from the Roman times already (like early 1st century).
Fun fact: Friesland isnt the province with the best fries, that honor goes to the people in the southern part of Zeeland. Belgian fries are amazing.
Goededag, all you wonderful Swamp Vikings currently watching a video full of information you likely already know about a country you live in just to see if there's anything you can nitpick.
Why do you need to attack me so personally
lol..."Swamp Vikings" 🤣🤣🤣
best comment ever !
I really enjoyed this version of number 11
My Parents are from The Netherlands. My Dad from Glederland. My Mom from Friesland. Both born during World War 2.

I love the channel, keep up the good job.
Pd although we miss Sam, Chris is doing an incredible job
What happened to Sam? Do you know? Did I miss something?
@@wrongsalvation8904 I think he's just busy with another project
Sam makes me stay till 101 fact, this guy's voice just makes everything less interesting! Some Jolly Wolly!
I know no facts about my own country, but thanks for the help!
The only fact I disagree with is that mcdonals serves beer here, atleast not in the ones in my area
love the anthem playing in the background
Why is Wilhelmus?
6:46 (no. 23) "De Rijn"-river flows into the North-Sea (via "De Waal" into "Hollands-Diep", through Rotterdam and "de Zeeuwse Delta"). The Ijsselmeer is connected/fed by the river "De Ijssel". DUDE. ;)
How's about doing 101 Facts about Eftaling (a fairytale theme park in The Netherlands) for a future video of this channel
You mean the Efteling, and yes a video with 101 facts about the Efteling is a good idea
I am Dutch its nice to now facts of your country
Yep, it's true that we are awkwardly direct....some find it rude, we generally find it very useful/effective. Guess we had a time where we couldn't chit-chat about little stuff but had to get to the essence to save our asses. xD Does help getting stuff done sooner. Unless bureaucracy pops up of course, the scourge of humanity. BTW almost had laughing fits when listening to your pronunciation of Dutch names/words. We have a rough language, if strongly like English a second language. I often joke that our words sound like nasty diseases. Last one, not related to video though.....it took me a while to get used to the 'BTW' as an abbreviation of the English words. We here also/originally know it as the abbreviation for 'belasting toegevoegde waarde' which is our way of say VAT (value added tax).
Gotta say though, we're far from perfect here. I like aspects of it but am not trying to praise it.
Anyway, i'll shut myself up now. xD
Says Antwerp in Belgium,Shows Bruges
I love how you say zuid and ijssel
Hey Chris please do 101 facts about Nevada

13:40 That's the wrong William.
Also, Shell moved to be a wholly UK company recently.
true true, but it gets changed every few years. then dutch, then uk, then dutch again, etc etc etc
To be exact, it was a Dutch located company, but established under English law, for tax purposes ofcourse. Since Shell lost the battle against sustainability/enviromental they moved to the UK (also, Corporation tax got higher). But ofcourse Shell will tell you differently.
I AM FROM THE NETHERLANDS!!!! Oh and you forgot obout a Dutch tradistion called sinterklaas
0:50 that is our windmill

Fact 102: the famous Dr Pol is a dutchmen😁
Fun fact: in Friesland they speak another official language, fries. That is older than the dutch language.
It's a nice video but I just wish CZcamsrs would ask a random Dutch person about whether this stuff is correct before posting, nice video nonetheless but I think many ppl would love to help with the fact and pronunciation
#73 is false. We, the Dutch, don't serve any alcohol at a McDonald's
The second c in Curaçao is pronounced as an s 😂
Spar is from Netherlands? Wow! I always thought of Spar as a uniquely South African thing.
I always thought that it was German or Austrian. As when I went on vacation in those countries I always saw them, but in my own country (the netherlands) I see them nowhere.
We still have de Spar. I go there often
4:13 maybe a bit of space will help? zuid plas polder at nieuwe kerk aan den ijssel also ijs means ice it can also mean icecream :D

Also we created the ijsselmeer as it used to be the zuider sea
