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

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I believe you're looking for "ik"?

ikiks ๐Ÿ’€

Maybe, I don't know. That's why I ask.

At [email protected] 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.

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

I can live with that haha. Memerijen sounds like the more formal word. But it's also silly so it's okay

Mijmijs is not too bad

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

Ambachtelijke memerijen. Echt handwerk.
