- jacquesm 17y agoFunny! In dutch it is possible to talk for 20 minutes in proverbs/sayings, make perfect sense and not repeat a single one. They're also all untranslatable. For instance: He must have been hit by a windmill. Or: He has been pulled out of the clay. In English they make no sense at all.
