Meems ๐Ÿ’€

[โ€“] MoonRaven@feddit.nl 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Miems? Miemes?

[โ€“] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] Kualdir@feddit.nl 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I believe you're looking for "ik"?

ikiks ๐Ÿ’€

[โ€“] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months 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 3 months ago

Mijmijs is not too bad

[โ€“] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

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

[โ€“] sykaster@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] gerryflap@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months 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 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] gerryflap@feddit.nl 6 points 3 months 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.
