I keep forgetting how ingrained sarcasm is in the Dutch culture. It borders on smarmy. Also funny note, my friends calls Dutch a "smurf language".

Yeah that is true. The line between sarcasm, being insincere, and passive-aggressive can be pretty blurred. Hahaha, a smurf language. Is that because the smurfs are also pretty close to sea level? But I totally agree, I really don"t like the Dutch language tbh.

A funny example, a response to not knowing an answer to a question is, "I know a lot" "Weet ik veel". It even translates in Google to I don't know haha. I like the Dutch language it's one of the only other languages I know fluently.

I'm not sure why they said that. Lol. Probably because the smurfs originated in the Netherlands.
