From your perspective maybe? From my perspective I don’t understand why they need to make everything half french, especially in an ostensibly Dutch speaking part of the country.
It’s not like we use an alternative french name for Amsterdam.
- elric 2y agoBecause it wasn't always a Dutch speaking part of the country. History happens. And sure, we don't have a French word for Amsterdam, but we do have a Dutch word for Paris (Parijs), obviously not a Dutch speaking city. You're taking this as a slight, when in fact it is an irrelevant artifact of history. If anything, Leuven should be called Leive, as that's how Leiveneirs pronounce it. /s
