Dit is iets wat u zegt Explanation: The English phrase is grammatical not correct and we need more context for an exact translation. "Dit is iets wat u zegt" is the translation if the phrase is used as a full sentence on its own,for instance as reply in a discussion. If "something you say" is a subject phrase (e.g. 'I do'nt agree with something you say') you translate is by " Ik ben niet akkoord met * iets wat u zegt * |

unattractive person Explanation: I became sufficiently curious for me to do some research and came up with the following (there is a whole host of slang distionaries on the web): dog n 1. an unattractive person. ("They're such a dog!") 2. a friend. Note: usually used with a greeting. ("What's up, dog?") Submitted by David Capalungan, Yakima, WA, USA, 14-09-97. - v 1 . to criticize or annoy. Also dog on . ("Quit dogging me." or "Quit dogging on me.") Reference: http://www.geocities.com/online_slang_dictionary/slang/d.htm... |

ontrouw zijn Explanation: Zou het niet kunnen dat we hier te maken hebben met het populaire (zwart)Amerikaanse slang voor "cheat"? Mike is a cheat/dog zou dan betekenen dat hij (meestal chronish) ontrouw is aan zijn partner. Dit wordt alleen gebruikt als het gaat om een man die overspel pleegt! (een vrouw is dan een "ho") Als "dog" wordt gebruikt in de betekenis van lelijk/onaantrekkelijk gaat het altijd om een meisje/vrouw. Succes! |
