huh

only in English is the term Dutch used for the Netherlands

meanwhile in multiple slavic languages pretty much the same word (датчане, данцi, datčáne, …) refers to Danes.

I did the math:

Room temperature is often defined as 20 degrees Celsius (although I remember it being 23C in some old textbooks).

20+16.6 is 36.6 which is the normal temperature of a human body.

20+18.6 is 38.6 which is above normal temperature, i.e. fever.

AFAIK ~42.0 degrees is lethal.

the part without

The red lanes are the bicycle lanes.

There are plenty of dishwashers with windows. Unlike the others devices mentioned, you don’t need to see what’s in there. The window is just for fun. They make you pay for fun.

The legend of… (click here to continue reading)

330km/h is the sound barrier

This is false. Sound barrier is an aerodynamic effect that affects vehicles at speeds close to the speed of sound in air, which is slightly above 1200 km/h (at sea level, normal temperature and humidity).

This depends on your location. In many countries the ducks at the park are way more expensive than the ones you can get at the grocery.

people will still be like ‘wtf’ haha

People here (North Holland) are used to tourists and immigrants. A local could use “Hi”, “Hallo”, “Bonjour” or “Shalom” instead of Dutch-specific “Goeiemorgen”/other. If I say “Moin” or “Ciao” or “Hola”, people will understand and sometimes reply appropriately, but likely continue in English not Dutch. It’s something anyone would do for fun.

“hyvää huomenta” and “terve” on the other hand are not widely known to be a greeting. “tesekkuler” will not work as “merci”. I don’t do that.

Highly depends on where the shop is based.

True. I have mostly lived in touristy and immigrant-friendly places, and I’m OK with people not seeing me as a local.

Is French just the most commonly spoken common language, even in Germany and Czechia?

No. This title is likely taken by Turkish.

Or is it something else?

Many phrases from European languages are common knowledge across Europe. I’m about to go grab some coffee. When I walk in to the coffee shop, I’m free to say “Hello” in one of 10+ languages and no one will think anything of it. Why would I do that? Maybe because I’m in the mood. Ciao!
