oh my Envy

Hahahhaha at sniffing it. Me too Grin

Do you have an iPhone? Is there not a clever app where you can scan stuff and get it translated?

I need to live vicariously through your tent erecting experience this weekend.

What tent is it? Do you think you could get a copy of the instructions online somewhere?

Using translate is probably quickest, but may turn into gobbledegook in places; will be happy to have a look over to see if instructions haven't mistranslated into something disastrous

I am Dutch. Can I help??

BadBagel · 08/07/2011 18:27

I am Dutch too, I can help.

BehindLockNumberNine · 08/07/2011 18:30

Love your decisiveness Badbagel - I ask 'can I help' and you tell the OP you can help [hgrin]

Either way, between us we can sort it out. Mind you, have not lived in NL for a while so may need to bow to your superior Dutch (if not your decisiveness [hgrin]

BadBagel · 08/07/2011 18:38

I said I can, I didn't say I would :o

As for a 'proper' translation, don't worry lucycat won't notice Wink
I am not a camper though.

Grin Yey Lucycat!

EggyAllenPoe · 08/07/2011 18:59

is this the pyramide one?

interest

Lucycat · 08/07/2011 19:01

BadBagel - what are you going to tell me to do in Dutch so I make a complete arse of myself? Grin

I shall attempt to type some out later - although I've found that just saying the word in a Dutch accent seems to help greatly Smile

and there are a few pictures to help - it can't be that hard can it?

she smells lovely. Hypercamp Palamos 6 tis her.

Now that would be telling.....

Just settle yourself on the sofa with a glass of Dutch beer (heineken or grolsch) and a slice of Edam or Gouda combined with that Dutch accent and you won't be needing us :o

BehindLockNumberNine · 08/07/2011 23:19

Loving BadBagel's suggestion and I have to say, that is how dh works out what my dsis and I are talking about when we forget ourselves and get carried away chatting Dutch.

Let us know how you get on [hgrin]

Slubberdegullion · 09/07/2011 08:06

Hahaha @ translation via the power of grolsh and gouda.

SeaShellsAndTheInlawInvasion · 09/07/2011 14:04

Badbagal-I use a similar approach with Norwegian and find my understanding greatly improves if I'm drinking hansa and eating reindeer sausage Wink

I hope you managed to get your tent up!
