Sharing an observation - "Ligt het aan mij of… ?"

16/11/2016

0 Comments

 
In Flemish (and Dutch) we have many formulas to express observations and feelings.
One of them is “Ligt het aan mij, of…?” which means: “Is it me, or … ?”

Some examples:
Ligt het aan mij, of…
  • Is het hier echt warm?
  • Hangt die kader scheef?
  • Is het hier stiller dan normaal?
  • Ruikt het hier naar gas?
  • Hebben die broodjes een rare smaak?
  • Heeft Sabine een slechte dag vandaag?
  • Is die video extreem traag aan het laden?
Is it (just) me, or…
  • Is it really hot in here?
  • Is that picture frame tilted?
  • Is it quieter in here than usual?
  • Does it smell like gas in here?
  • Do these sandwiches taste funny?
  • Is Sabine having a bad day?
  • Is this video loading extremely slowly?
Challenge: try to make three observations of your own and use them with your colleagues or friends!
