I love Dutch, but I’m sorry to say it sounds like a joke language to Germans.
A bicycle is a “fiets” (pronounced like English “feets”).
A small motorcycle is a “bromfiets”.
A bicycle with a gas engine is a “snorrfiets”.
On cycle paths where motorcycles are banned, there’s a sign:
“Dus niet brommen of snorren”.A bicycle rental is advertized with “fietsen huren” and you can rent a bike on huren.nl (“Find de beste huurdeal”)

Met an old British guy in a bar the other day, he kept commenting how good my English was. I think he meant well, but it rubbed me the wrong way at some like yeah, it’s not that hard, you know.
i mean, have you heard the average british dialect?
That’s why Tolkien invented Elvish.
He never learnt to speak any existing language.
