Aaargh! Falling behind the competition post! So this one is two days late, sorry. Touring is exhausting and yesterday I got to spend about 12 hours at home before leaving again!
Onwards to the game. This week, the pictures almost tell a complete story!
I am learning Dutch, and here are some idioms that I am trying to learn. Idioms are the name of the non native speaker, they are the sayings that mean something completely different from the literal meaning. Which makes for embarrassingly funny situations when you are learning the language.
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
In de knoop zitten
Sitting in the knot (tangle)
2
Iemand de pin op de neus zetten
Putting the pin on someone's nose
3
De klos zijn
Being a bobbin (or spool or spindle)
