*reads Cadmium's post*
In Spanish, the phrase "montaņa rusa" literally means "Russian mountain", but it actually means "roller coaster". |

| Also, in Spanish, the phrase "de pelicula", literally meaning "of film", means "extraordinary". |

The Doctor, even with a generator translating to dutch, you won't find the meaning of that sentense. I'll give you the translation of the original sentense, but DP means something completely different  :

Making fun of the Dutch language, people say that it appears to be written by randomly jamming on a keyboard.

.........and placing the letter 'J' within every word. So you can take any verse in English, add loads of 'J's' and turn it into Dutch. For example:
"I'm from Europe and I enjoy eating Whelks" (English version)
"I'm frojm Eujrojpe ajnd I enjojy eajting Whejlks" (Dutch version)
It also works to a lesser scheme using 'Z's' and 'K's'.
On a side note, do you know that the Dutch language only has 3 vowels, yet has 35 consonants. |

When will you folks learn proper Dutch.... It's "I'm frjom Eujropjke ajnd I enjojy eajting Whejlks"
I tried to put a whole lot of G's in my sentence, I love that scraping throat sound that they make

Bump.
May I add that the Spanish phrase "hacer juego con" literally means "to do games with" but actually means "to go well with" in the clothing-related context.
There are definitely other examples, but I don't recall them. |
