Afwezigheid is tot liefde, wat wind is tot vuur;
Het dooft het kleine uit, het wakkert het grote aan.
vuur = fire
wind = wind
liefde = love
dooft uit = blow out
wezigheid = being
af = away
afwezigheid = away-being = absence

Holly, you're a RIOT! Congrats on your test! When do you finish school and take your registry exam? May you be known as The Ultrasonographer Extraordinaire on your very first job! (Don't forget to hit them up for relocation assistance! And from what I've seen, sign-on bonuses are fairly high in your field! Sweet!)holly said:Hmm, if "Klompen" is not sufficient, perhaps Monique will provide the Dutch translation for these must-have phrases when visiting the Netherlands:
"Excuse me, I have just eaten some Dutch licorice. What is the antidote?"
"These highly spiced Dutch cookies are very tasty. Do you have a fire extinguisher handy?"
"Someone just ran me down on one of those yellow bikes. Where is the nearest emergency room?"

Aww! You caught me! (where did you learn dutch?)marcus said:If you are really teaching us dutch then maybe you would correct my

Objects can disappear from a variety of places, including homes, offices, public spaces, and outdoor locations.
Some common reasons for objects disappearing include misplacement, theft, human error, natural disasters, and supernatural phenomena.
Yes, there are several scientific theories that attempt to explain the phenomenon of disappearing objects. These include the concept of "object permanence" in psychology, quantum physics, and the laws of thermodynamics.
In some cases, objects can reappear after disappearing. This can happen due to a change in the object's location, human error, or a change in perception.
Scientists can study the mystery of disappearing objects through various methods, such as conducting experiments, analyzing data, and observing patterns and trends. They can also collaborate with experts in fields such as psychology, physics, and anthropology to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon.
