Every (and yes, i do mean ALL of them) Dutch mother says the same thing when the kids complain about having to go through the rain. "You are not made of sugar; you won't melt". If rain would stop us, we would never get anything done here so it's just not an option. If it rains, you put on your rain poncho and trousers and cycle on!
This man deserves more upvotes 😂 I can almost hear my mother telling me I won't melt 😂😂
@@merilicious1594 Nowadays i have to tell it to myself but occasionally I can almost hear her and it makes me smile. No matter how old you get, you are always your mother's child.
@Mandy Van den hoogen That too!! 😂😂😂
@@marks.6480 Same here
My mother always said: it doesn't go further than your skin🙈🤣.
I’m Dutch, and yes, we actually use a lot of the words to explain what the weather is like. And yes, we they are all different. Or most are at least!
i use tyfus takke pleuris weer😂
I use
Het is weer godsvergeten rotpleuris takken weer vandaag
Oh yeah I used quite a few of those words... We talk about the weather A LOT... So we need more words😉
Definitely!! There's never enough words when it comes to weather😂😂😂
The Senz is a brilliant umbrella, because it withstands the high winds we have often, whereas the normal ones will get destroyed quickly. I own one, and it's still alive after 12 years (and it's orange😂😂).
vandaag is het ook rotweer hea
Kk donder niet te vergeten
Let’s combine the 2 words pleurisweer en pokkeweer and make the word pokkepleurisweer😂
The weird umbrella is a storm umbrella that keeps its shape in windy conditions, so that it doesnt break by the wind. Which happens a lot with the 'normal' umbrella.
True. Dutch invention. Innovative people, the Dutch.
improviseer adapt overcome basicly the dutch xd
This is the answer! This umbrella turns into the wind basically and is reinforced. You hold it in front of you so you are in the cover compared to how the wind blows the rain.
Yes but the company went bankrupt in the end it seems you cannot sustain yourself if you built indestructable stuff...
I go through folding umbrellas the same rate I go through shampoo.
They're useful, but temporary.
As a Dutch person I can confirm I use every single one of those words several times during bad weather
Oh and we are well trained by our parents from childhood on.
“You’re not made of sugar, so you won’t melt out there. You just get wet,.. that’s all”!
When you grow up, every other year you get a new rain suit (that would fit) so you can bike to school back and forth and don’t be wet all day in school.
And we complain hard when it’s sunny too!
It’s too hot or it’s not good for nature and we need to water the garden too much.
Complaining about the weather it’s the number one “bonding” thing to just make contact with someone and do small talk.
About the bicycle in rain, we actually don’t care much, if it rains we put on rain coats and all that, we still go on the bike.
And just at a side note, we are probably the best in the world at complaining at the weather. No matter what the weather is. If the sun is out, it’s to hot, if it rains it’s to wet, if it snows it’s to cold. Etc.
i hate cycling against cold strong wind and rain in autumn most, where you're simultaneously trying to keep from getting cold, but are sweating because of the effort it takes, and the sun comes out every x minutes, so you keep fiddling the zipper on your coat halfway up and down to compensate, such a faff.
i'll take a bit of rain over a strong headwind any day, but they generally come together in autumn lol
also, honorable mention for hailstorms, they don't happen too often, and usually only last like 5-10 minutes per storm, but boy does it suck getting caught in one lol
There's nothing I hate more than cycling in the rain. I'm basically a hermit during fall, or I use the car
A lot of people hate riding their bike in the rain, but love complaining about it afterwards
The sun is not the problem. It is the humidity in the air that makes it unbearable.
@@pepijn22333444455555 i hate cycling in general 🤣 just as i hate most cyclists on the road, especialy those racing in a group with their tight gay suits. Never paying attention to the road, always cycling in such way that they block you from passing them safely and many more reasons to follow.
The "nasa" umbrella is shaped that way because of the wind. It has a smaller chance of being blown away and by holding it in front of you you can also bike with it
on top of the fact that most people use the normal umbrella's wrong and this one comes with instructions XD. they sometimes keep normal umbrella's straight over their heads while they should actually aim it at the place the rain/wind comes from. so basically you angle your umbrella in such a way that the rain will hit you the least instead of just holding it above your heads.
And the fun thing is that we all know (at least the Dutchies) what kind of weather is by the word that is used. So yes, this is a real thing.
Though those last ones are not rain descriptions but more ways of saying the weather is bad (shitty weather).
@@ehekkert true. But even then you know how hard it is raining
🎯
yup, very true
I'm still not sure about the difference between poepweer and strontweer but yes...
As a foreigner living in the Netherlands for over 10 years I only can say IT IS ALL TRUE😂🤣😂 When the weather app shows 18C we always check what it really feels like, most probably 15C😂
That apps are not predictable. Just loop up to the sky.😂
The colour and form of the clouds tells what's going to fall down and how much. (Rain, thunderstom, snow) The area and winddirection tell if it's going to come to where you are. Rivers, forests and mountains (you know, the ones on holiday) do not let small rain-clouds pass. And the windspeed and sometimes rivers tell how long it is going to take before you get wet.
It is fairly easy if you know the area.😊
4:20 Germanic languages can Fusion words.
And yes, the first series all has different meanings for wind, precipitation, duration and cloud cover.
The second series is just cussing out the weather, giving impressions for just how rainy it is and how angry the curser :D
5:40 The Netherlands used to be swamp. It wants to go back to being swamp. We will not let it.
So that's why the Dutch drain swamp water, bottle it and call it "Heineken".
As my grandma used to say when it rained: "het meeste valt er naast" (most of it will fall next to you) :D Love your videos!
gewoon tussen de druppels doorlopen
That licking face part was from the movie "Turks Fruit". The guy doing it was Rutger Hauer
Ah, Turks Fruit. The young and wild Verhoeven makes an experimental, grim, pornographic movie about sex and cancer based on a scandalous novel and it's the most successfull movie in Dutch history. About a quarter of the population went to the cinema when it came out.
@@DenUitvreter I saw the movie in high school, we got this in the Dutch language class.
Aaaw should have said thats the normal greeting we give here. Hcr meets a nice girl starts licking her face 🤣
@@erikjansen4298 😁
@@DenUitvreter clearly never saw Spetters, naakt over de schutting etc. 🤣
The guy in the black poncho was putting words in front of weather: shitty weather, crappy weather.
We like all the different kinds of rain, just to be able to complain about it in detail.
You always try to keep your umbrella against the wind, otherwise it can break, but it also limits the visibility. The umbrella shown helps with that.
i dont bother with umbrellas
Hahaha it's not that bad. People in the Netherlands are very spoiled. They have everything their heart desires. So they complain a lot about the weather. The weather often varies from day to day. And if you plan to have a picnic it will rain 🌧
Can I just say, I think you’re such a lovely person. Your vibe is just so pure, happy and kind ⭐️ And yes, I’m a dutchie, I use all those words. No kiddin’. And it does exactly describe the type of rain (how big the drops are), what the sky looks like (intense dark grey or light blue-ish), how long it’s going to last etc etc.
3:33 I’m Dutch. And yes. It’s true
6:34 the point of the shape is so it is stronger for when you’re walking in the storm, so the wind won’t break the umbrella, or fold it. That’s why it’s called a “storm paraplu’ what translates to ‘storm umbrella’.
Parents tell the kids : go to school on your bike. Reign is just water, you won’t melt! See you this afternoon. Bye!”
Seriously. Every kid hears that And So we learn to deal 😅
and the government rains the Netherlands?
@@michielvdvlies3315 nou sorry hoor. Foutje. Maar ik denk alsnog dat mijn Engels beter is dan zijn Nederlands.
@@elsvanzwoll lol
yup ... each one of those words been used. depends on the conversation. and who you are speaking with.
storms euhm yeah kinda like this
czcams.com/video/XUJGtut7ws0/video.html
haha so true
@@dawnmaster68 ik pi in mn broek hahahah
Complaining in general, that’s where we excel 😎
This is so true 😂.
Wait and see the difference between motregen and stortregen.
I use 95% of the words depending on the amount of rain I have seen in the past days 😇
A little motregen isn’t that bad, but I hate stortregen when I am walking or cycling
@@throughthewindowpane Stortregen is fine, at least that one is vertical. I really hate the horizontal striemende regen.
Normal starter of a conversation at the supermarket, with your neighbor, at the baker, at the trainstation: nice/bad/snowy/warm/rainy weather today, don’t you think? Choose what’s applicable 😂🤣
Paul, the rain brings us good things too. Despite a lot of rain we had during 3 years a shortage of sweet water in the soil. We can only hope that we will come to the necessary equilibrium. Sometimes we have long times without rain and some years we have a lot of rain. So it is changeable over the years.
Hahahaha I am from the Netherlands and hearing all those words to basically just describe “rain” is hilarious to me. And yes I’ve used probably all of them at one time or another but not in the same hour. There is slight nuance between those words, but it basically describes rain in one form or another.
Yes in the Netherlands we uses all those words for the weather, and every 5 minutes are different, from synny to (pleurisweer) rain or even storming
The weather is our form of small talk it's a shared experience so it's an easy topic .
I am that person complaining about it is too hot, haha
Oh no, I'm right there with you! Anything over 25 degrees is a nope for me 😂
i never realised that everything in this video is true... 😂😂😂😂 if you don't know how to start a conversation, talk about the weather! And yes we do need a lot of words to describe all the sorts of rain.... never thought about it, but i do use them all...... thanx for the lesson of today!
Hehe yea, I was in Amsterdam once when it was raining at first and I was like "Not a big deal" and many people were also like that at first, but people you walked past had this smile on their face like "Good god what afwul weather!" and then it started hailing and people took shelter in the entrances of shops and you were hearing "The rain wasn't that bad but this hail, no thank you!" and when it picked up a bit more you heard people go "Oh of course, just kick it up a notch! We weren't having bad weather before!" :P.
We just ride our bicycle in the rain 🤷🏻♀️ And yes they are all words people say 😄
The head tilting is REAL! 😂
I remember this one time when I was younger there was so much wind u couldnt even breathe properly
Fun fact, when it's sunny weather in the summer. We complain aswell. (Wrote this before the video ended😂)
On a serious note though, the last few years, the weather is taking a turn for the worst.
Heavy rainfall is flooding parts of northern Europe annually and increasingly. Also, like in the US, wildfires due to periods of heat and draught have also become an item. And because our 'below sea-level' situation, most of us take climate change pretty serious.
There is also a lot of sunshine here. “After the rain comes the sunshine” ☀️
English has other words for rain too: rain, downpour, precipitation, drizzling
All of those words for bad weather are definitely known to me and I've heard them more than once. Usually I just stick with 'kutweer' myself.
And yeah... we really do complain about every type of weather as well... sun, wind, rain, snow, hail, thunderstorms, cloudy skies... we're alright with it for 5 minutes, but then we just complain again.
Often times in the summer I pass someone in the street and they'll randomly tell me 'god it's warm, isn't it?' and I'll be like 'yeah... it's summer, it's definitely warm. Don't worry, soon it'll be winter and we'll be able to complain about the cold.' and then I'll walk on.
Typical Dutch expression "you're not made of sugar" or "you won't melt" aka a little rain (or a lot) doesn't hurt you one bit. Add to that cycling to school/college/university for years on end, and for some reason always with the wind in your face is more than enough training to last a lifetime. There's good things about it too, coming home from school or from playing outside all wet and cold (like drenched) and getting into nice dry clothes and your mom (or dad) having a warm cup of tea ready when you get downstairs again makes you really appreciate those moments. Despite all the complaining I actually like that sort of weather and I bet I'm not the only Dutch person who (secretly, perhaps) feels that way.
we also ride our bike during rain. Everybody bikes to school. I bike 4 km (30 minutes) to school, but i know people that need to bike 12 km to school. But we always bike, during: rain, hail, storm, thunder, sun, freezing, snow, mist and everything where you can think of. My parents would say: 'just put a rainsuit on and bring a towel with you'. But it always rains in every season. I personlly love rain in the summer, because it gives mee a good feeling!
So much fun .we have rain and etc etc. So much humor .thanks fore the reaction
That "crazy half umbrella" is a Senz umbrella. It is a Dutch design and it is really usefull in stormy rainy Dutch weather. The Senz umbrella is aerodynamic in such a way that it can be used with windspeeds above 100 km/h (60 m/h). They even tested this umbrella on a motorcycle while driving. It doesn't break and it keeps itself horizontal. Just search on youtube to see how clever it actually is. I have one of these on my bike. If it rains, it keeps your face and torso dry in all different types of rain. Works perfectly, although not everybody is capable of cycling while holding an umbrella in one hand. It requires some proper Dutch cycling acrobatics ;)
My dad always used to say that if you can survive the Dutch weather, you can survive anything.
It can rise close up to 40 and it can go down below 20.
O, and i almost forgot : Hot one day, cold the next, pretty normal.
Yes, we have these words for rain here in the netherlands xD
Love you man, lmfao! There is no language with so many swearing words then Dutch, almost any word can be combined… crazy language we have, but ohhhh, so fun! 😂🥰😜 also, because of the that, we have the most swearing words according to any language…. Don’t know if that’s a good thing, but still outrageous for me…. 🤪
Lol, it ain't that bad, the weather is good for nature, most of the time farmers cry because it ain't raining for months, we had a couple of heatwaves the last years and no real winters. 🥳
there was snow in April..
Yay?
@@Itza-Me Yay.
yepp we have that much words for it. We use all of them
We dont wait for the weather to change because you might be waiting all day. Nope simply put, buckle up buttercup and get biking 😜
Yes! I use all of these words.
YES WE USE ALL THESE WORDS
The other day we looked out the window and our upstairs neighbor was dancing in the rain with his clothes on, my daughter joined him and we just watched nice and dry ourselves. One big rainy family up here in Groningen!
Every word about the weather i have used at least once lol
Yes!! We have a lot of words for the weather.
There special made umbrella’s for stormy weathers. But they don’t work. Haha.
I loved that men HxC good humor.
Regarding the senz umbrella: the point of it is that it's supposed to be resistant to turning inside out in the wind.
The other point is the weather man ("Just kidding!!"): his name is Erwin Krol. And in his day he was *INCREDIBLY* famous (the first news celebrity we had in The Netherlands). At one point he left the network for a few months ("time for something new" before he changed his mind) and it was national news....
oh, it's true. and watching this as someone from the netherland it even made me realize its insaine how many words we have for bad weather!
That is why we are so tall. So we don’t drown easily.. 😛
Yeah I guess I used most of the 'rain' words throughout life lol, until I had enough and moved to the sunny Dutch Caribbean 🏝🌞
I used most of the words today; it was an especially changing weather type today 😬
Fun fact: the guy who's face was licked was Rutger Hauer in the movie called "Turks Fruit" (Turkish Delight) from way back in the seventies.
As a dutch person i personally use like 90% of the rain related words
True, we have no blizzards, no tornado's, no tsunami's... its just raining a little more :) But we also have weeks without any wetness...
Yep. I use those words. Like.. all of them. Most when I'm pissed it's raining because it's already raining for days or only when I have to go outside or something🤣
6:35 The Senz umbrella is shaped like a Stealth Fighter and can withstand storms of up to 100 km/h. If you manage to hold on to it under those conditions.
3:37 all of these words are actually real, and describe different properties of the rain. Like how heavily it is raining, what kind of rainy weather it is, how humid it is, etc.
He wasn't joking when he said that we have more words for bad weather in Dutch than eskimo have words.
The man at the end, at 4:04 is just rattling off ways to swear/cuss at the weather. Those aren't actual words but ways we complain when it is raining.
Yes, we use most of those words at some point.
3.41 yes everything he said about mutiple words for the rain is true i live in the netherlands and its amezing how you react
Yes we Dutch have that many words for rain 😍😍😍
And yes we use them
Yeah we do use all those words, lmao
Also the weird umbrella is a storm umbrella, the shape is meant to not break as fast with high speed winds and they’re pretty expensive
You're supposed to aim the umbrella in the direction of the wind xD
if you're just gonne hold it above you, you're still gonne get wet hair :P
@6:30 its a storm umbrella they are great, they do not get torn appart by wind, which next to rain is probably even more common
6:30 It's a storm umbrella, for rain with strong wind. 😆
The usage of so many words, in my case, is determining how big the effect of the weather is for the plans I have. For example, if it's "baggerweer" and I need to travel far, I will change the time of leaving and let the other people know I come in later because of the "baggerweer".
Is is not raining every day. We have lots of nice weather as well. But when your planning something you always have a back up plan for bad weather. And it never hurts to have a umbrella at hand for when needed.
And then I moved to the West of Scotland, and discovered that really, the Netherlands has really not all that much rain and wind. Btw, the Rain Embracer is the late great Rutger Hauer
True, in the army i went to Scotland for wet weather training
I have an umbrella like that too! It's so much better when it's windy, otherwise you look like Mary Poppins in a storm :P.
yes we use all those words
I love the rain/sun/i love nature.
Each weather have his charm😉
The SENZ umbrella is the best, it's windproof and doesn't fold up so it gives you the best protection against the rain.
I indeed use alot of those words for the weather. And we always talk (complain) about the weather.
that piano song is from my music teacher!!!! Im dutch, his name is jan baars.
yes, I have used all those words at least once. Some way more than others this has to do with what kind of conversation or to whom you are speaking or how you feel. And as a Dutch person you know exactly what the weather is like with the word that is used.
Yep. We use all of these words ⛈⛈🌨🌨🌧🌧🌦🌦
As a Dutch this is so funny 🤣😂😂 People be looking 👀 "you good there?" Yea! We actually use those words 🤣🤣🤣
It's true... we do use all of these words describing the weather😂
Yes we use them all. 😂 Not all words were words for rain though, also just descriptions for bad weather.
I hope they sent you #10 How To Survive Dutch Fireworks! 🤣👌🏼✌🏼
We actually use all of them and i am crying of laughter😂
Oh yes I use almost all the words. We always fricking complain about the weather🤣
its true, we have so many words for rain
We really do talk about the weather a lot. When you've been on a holiday, the first question when you are back home is usually "what was the weather like?". That's really important for us. Apparently...
2:32 King Willem-Alexander (right), queen Maxima (behind the king) and their first daughter Amalia.
Correct, we all have these words for bad weather.
The point of that umbrella is that it's designed to withstand heavy gusts of wind.
No we,ve got a lot of words for the rain. We re not joking🤣🤣🤣
Because we Dutch ain't build from sugar, we go out on our bikes no matter what weather....but we loveeeee to complain about the weather! 🤣😂🤣😂
Remarkably the area that is most prone for fludding , Zeeland, there’s also the most sun hours.
And yes we all use these words for the weather ...we have even more words to describe the weather
Yes, its true so much words for bad weather, i am a mailman and mieser regen, tiny drops of rain is particularly damaging the letters and pakkages, and also we use an app on our phone, when it rains it gets uncontrolable
Dutch. Have used every single word more then once 😂 Yep. We Dutch love our weather. To complain about that is 😂
exactly right just wait 5 minutes is usually the trick.
the odds of cycling in the rain are pretty low but I do not want to say how low I do not know the exact number anymore.
Combustible…. Believe us … we NEED all these words to describe the weather!!!
The constant nagging about the weather… it saves a lot of hours on psychotherapy costs 🤣🤣🤣. .
It’s the first (go-to) conversation starter .. A feeling of togetherness while enduring shitty weather.
Those smaller umbrellas at the front and longer at the end are “storm” umbrellas. They don’t “catch” as much wind so more hopeful they won’t “crack and die” on the spot and keep the heavy rain out of your face so it doesn’t hurt as much. It’s the one to use when you’re on a bike! … And we ain’t Mary Poppins okay.
Ah man! I laughed so hard because of some absurdity and the reactions! 🤣
Yes! I used all of the above words for rain 😂😜 true story
as a person form the netherlands il love this
