Edit: prizes increased!
Idioms are the name of any non native speaker. These are sayings that make complete sense to the native speaking population, yet are completely nonsensical to the new speaker.
I am learning Dutch, and here are some idioms that I am trying to learn. To play this game, no Dutch is needed, I will give the literal translation in English.
So the rules are simple, from the picture and a literal translation of the Dutch, see if you can guess the meaning of the idiom. There are three, first correct will win a 0.02 SBD prize but the funniest (at my discretion, it doesn't have to be awarded) will take a 0.05 SBD prize. So, to be clear there are 2 prizes for each picture/idiom.
1
Aan de weg timmeren
Building on the road
2
Voor paal staan
Stand before the pole
3
Uit je dak gaan
Go out your roof
Have fun, guess away, don't worry about being wrong. That's why the funny prize is worth more than the correct one!
