Where do you learn all that stuff ? Explanation: If we want to translate the verb tense accurately we would have to say "Where do you learn all this stuff " Since the Dutch sentence is in the present tense. Depending on the degree of vulgarity suggested by the context - zooi is a somewhat "street" term - "crap and shit" would be superb alternatives for "stuff". "Rubbish" would be suitable for the British market and its former colonies with the exception of Canada and the U.S. where "garbage" would be more apropos. The proper translation for "die" is "that" Wolters Nederlands -Engels Woordenboek |
