It’s Afrikaans, not Dutch. It’s close though. We can understand written Afrikaans.

Hitler dood? Lekker bru!
That explains the neutral tone. It’s something important far away.
Well, the Union of South Africa were participants in the war against Germany, so that’s still a bit weird. Don’t know about the affiliation of the magazine in question, but the support for joining the allies wasn’t clear cut, but only a narrow majority among the ruling white class.
Also that newspaper is called “The Fatherland”.
It’s a pretty good hint of where they stand in the whole Left-Right political spectrum.
Would you translate the bold text below the subtitles?
Alright this is what I understand as a dutchie
Hitler is dead and Dönitz is now the leader in Germany, a British newspaper writes today: “Never before in history has the perspective of peace been so ?? made a possibility of the long war”
The sentence structure is pretty confusing to me and I don’t know some words
Thanks you beat me to it.
Yeah it’s something like how abrupt the change of prospect is from an extended war to peace.
Obviously, he’s so dood.
I’m dood.
Hi dood, I’m alive
Fun fact:
In Dutch, two o’s make a long o sound. Dode. “oe” makes the “oo” sound.
Truly one of the doods of all time.
I mean celebrating isnt gonna get you out of a post war collapse. So good job by the dutch?
So good job by the dutch?
Yes, if this was Dutch. It isn’t though, looks like Afrikaans to me.
Who is saying English is bad? You save yourself so much trouble not having to like genderize all the words.
I offer you Indonesian, which has a word for “he/she/they/it” (dia) but no words for “he” or “she”. Indonesian has words for older sibling (kakak) and younger sibling (adik) but it’s rare to specify the sibling’s gender. It ever has rude slang for “primary reproductive organ” (titis, among many others) without specifying wether it concerns a vagina or penis. TL;DR Indonesia is based.
Oh wow just like Turkish. Probably little sexism in Indonesia and none in Turkey, right?
