Meems ๐Ÿ’€

[โ€“] MoonRaven@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Miems? Miemes?

[โ€“] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What is "me"/"mich"/"moi" in dutch?

[โ€“] Kualdir@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe you're looking for "ik"?

ikiks ๐Ÿ’€

[โ€“] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe, I don't know. That's why I ask.

At !ich_iel@feddit.org we call memes "Michmichs" because me = mich in German.

Yeah "ikiks" wouldn't really work haha. "Mijmijs"? Idk at R*ddit people used "meems" in the Dutchs communities. Sounds logical to me, it's a Dutch sounding word that believably could be "meme" in english. Just like "name" is "naam" in Dutch.

Ambachtelijke memerijen. Echt handwerk.

[โ€“] FlembleFabber@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Mijmijs is not too bad

[โ€“] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

And using "MeMes" ("me", "mij", "mijn") isn't funny enough.

[โ€“] sykaster@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The official accepted in the Dutch community is memerijen, liberally translated at memeries

[โ€“] gerryflap@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

I can live with that haha. Memerijen sounds like the more formal word. But it's also silly so it's okay

Slachten in de grachten and stuff

Drommels, drommels en nog eens drommels

Ieuw, toch geen Mรฉmรฉ zeker

[โ€“] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have no idea what this means but I'm 100% for it

[โ€“] gerryflap@feddit.nl 6 points 1 year ago

"Dude check this; they're posting non-English memes on Lemmy". It's a picture of our king and former prime minister watching something funny instead of paying attention to the serious (UN?) meeting they're in

No. We're not.
