This book is a continuation of the book ‘I generally get my transgression’. ‘I generally get my transgression’ was a hit and all the more then 250,000 books are sold. The two books are composed by Maarten H. Rijkens. In ‘We Denglish generally get our transgression’ he expounds on interesting or dumb errors Dutch individuals make when they attempt to communicate in English and concerning how to keep away from these mix-ups.
There are different sort of missteps Mr. Rijkens tells about and each section manages one more sort of slip-ups you can make. Every part starts with a foreword of the author in Denglish, English with a Dutch wind. The principal part is called: False companions. It is about sentences with English words that appear as though Dutch words yet don’t mean exactly the same thing. Assuming you say ‘I generally get my wrongdoing’, you could mean: I generally get what I need. The Dutch word ‘zin’ resembles ‘sin’, however the interpretation of transgression doesn’t resemble the interpretation of ‘zin’. English talking individuals can have these issues as well assuming they are in Holland. Assuming you take a gander at a scanner for instance and you see ‘Putting away’, you could think the machine is putting away data or something like that. It implies that the machine is messed up, all things considered.
The subsequent part is about Dutch articulations that are in a real sense meant English. It is called ‘You are on happy ice’. At the point when a Dutchman says that, he signifies ‘you are risking a lot’. He interprets the Dutch articulation ‘Je bowed operation happy ijs’ in a real sense.
The third part is about Dutch language which doesn’t adjust with English punctuation, when deciphered. A genuine model is ‘Fail to remember it however!’. The right interpretation is ‘Fail to remember it!’, but since English and Dutch resemble one another, individuals at times think you need to decipher each word independently
Another part manages words deciphered practically right, yet not completely. A model: Accuse me, rather than excuse me. One section manages words that sound well in English, yet are not the right deciphering. An illustration of this is: The boat strolled quick in the Maas. The speaker implies with this sentence that the boat was grounded in the Maas River. Obviously the sentence was deciphered off-base. Immense in Dutch means something like caught in English. On the off chance that you make it sound like something English, you get the word quick.
I thought it was a truly entertaining book, which is additionally great to peruse for English talking. This is on the grounds that the preludes are in ‘English
