I can’t stop being surprised how talkative Dutch people are 😄 compared to Russia, where people try to avoid small talk and even eye contact most often (in big cities at least), people in the Netherlands are always ready to make a couple of notes about your dog or the weather (even strangers) and ask how you are doing. It is very different from my culture, but it really helps to feel involved in the society 🧡 and practice my Dutch 😊

I am continuously amazed at how fast and mumbled much of the Dutch is spoken. I imagine this is true of most languages, but in my experience, only Spanish compares to this speed when spoken between natives. I speak German (2nd language), so I know many words in Dutch...but trying to decipher them from these conversations is impossible.

hi, I have to slow the playback down under the settings tab or I can't follow it all

Missing my family and found this video. I'm first generation from Frish islands. Small talk is the last thing we want. If ur invited, warm hugs and kisses. Not invited, that's the small talk, to go away. Ppl don't talk about facial expressions related to speech. The dutch are known also for expression of opinion❤❤

That seems perfect to me as an introvert

I have been learning dutch for a few months , and to be honest this channel has made my learning easier

Ik denk smalltalk hulpt mensen gemakkelijker in contact met elkaar te komen, bijzonder belangrijk is het voor de mensen, die nieuw in Nederland zijn. helaas heb ik zelf moeite met vremde mensen smalltalk to hebben, heb veel meer oefening nodig.

I came to Australia when I was 6 in 1958 so I speak dutch very badly, lol I love Easy Dutch cause it lets me hear my mother tongue being spoken most of my family thats left live in Nederland so no-one to speak dutch to parents both passed now. Thankyou for your awesome vids👏👏👏👍🐨

@4:44 Ahahahahahahahhaa!!!!! What a BOSS!! This is the most hilarious thing ever said on an "Easy [language]" video!

I am from Taurus Mountains of Turkey and i do not know what is chit chat or small talk. We dont do that.Foreigners oftentimes accuse us of being sullen and boring. Although some people think that Mediterranean people are warm-blooded, this is a false generalization and as far as i can see,people of Nederlands is more out going and talkative than my community.

What a good video . Very useful . Thank you guys

In Brazil 50% of small takk has been about COVID and flu cases, everybody's sick 🦠 the other half is about rain, weather or football

In Hawaii praten de lokale mensen graag. We hebben ook veel toeristen die om hulp vragen, en we zijn beleefd tegen hen, maar we praten liever met lokale mensen.

Bedankt voor ongelofelijke video

Dankjewel voor deze goede video! Ik heb al geleerd (op Easy German, eerst!

Ik vindt het fijn dat je in Nederland wel weet waar je aan toe bent, en wat er speelt. In plaats van dat er omheen wordt gedraaid, en je eigenlijk iets heb gedaan voor iemand wat die persoon niet echt leuk vond.

Small talk in my country 🇵🇭 can lead to meaningful relationships. You can even learn the family history and origins of the person you're talking to. 😅

I really liked this video, the host is great, and has a great sense of humor

Lekker accentje dat twents !

het was best moeilijk om ter begrijpen wat ze zeggen

I do not like small talk but in my culture it is common.

A MUST -DO when you are early in a zoom meeting 😞

I was born ibn the Netherland but have lived most of my life in the US. When I went there on vacation I was told I speak the language well but with an American accent. When I watch these videos I think to my self that people sound like they are spitting as they speak. There are words that I don't know as they are more complex I did not attend school there.

Same here, I forgot most of my Nederlands since there's no one to speak it with. Almost embarrased to be watching this to sharpen my Nederlands again for when I visit. I used to speak/write/read it fluent.

Bedankt voor de video, ik had geen idee over smalltalk maar nu weet ik dat , maar Nederlanders doen heel veel dingen en dan zeggen omdat we direct zijn , ik ga niet akkoord met dat hhhhhhhhh

😂

HAHAH 4:47 is typical dutch directness

Laat ons eerst eens dat onnodige Engels eruit filteren. ‘Small talk’ wordt in het Nederlands ‘koetjes en kalfjes’ genoemd en ‘awkward’ gênant of onplezierig.

Small talk. Klachten over andere mensen in het werk

Ik denk dat het natuurlijk heel normal is over ditje en datje te spreken. De eerste vraag is niet zo vaak: Wat denk je/denkt u van de eerste wereldoorlog? Hoewel smalltalk natuurlijk is, kan ik het heel slecht. Ik hen geen wens van de weer of de schoen te spreken. Ik vind de conversaties leuk die een indruk geven van hoe de andere person denkt. Het moet niet over heel belangrijke zaken zijn dat je een idee kan krijgen.
