Have you invented a language of your own
The first three words seem like Dutch "Je moet het" but then ???

Sounds Dutch to me!
Spracheveranderen mischien?
(Sure that is Dutch for translate, perhaps it is Flemish. )

Possibly Double Dutch[^]?

Which means simple Dutch was somewhat comprehensible to the inhabitants of the east of England when that phrase was coined.

To gullable Americans maybe, but we Europeans see through that

That's correct (in some way I guess)

Ah, vertalen! (Had to look it up)
But you have to admit a lot of latin words were absorbed into Dutch in the form I used for 'translate'. No? Or am I just imagining things....

With my mates in Flanders we used to call it 'Nederlish', pretty sure I have mentioned that, but the languages do mix well.

Well for me Flemish is easy to understand, but for "Hollanders" it seems to be incomprehensible.
There are exceptions of course, the Ghent dialect is difficult even for me, I think that dialect was caused by the noose that Charles the Great made them wear
|
|
|
|
|
Even the flemish say other flemish accents are incomprehensible.
Generally its an accent quite close to English.
Take genough, the g becomes softer in Flemish than Dutch, and the last g becomes silent in Ost flaams, much like the English enough.

but what would a Dutchman know about alps?
Tallest hill in Holland 322.4 meters (according to wikipedia).
(and probably because many would want to challenge themselves to scary heights that .4m would be worn away by now.)

No I mustn't... I really mustn't... it's too difficult to resist... but it's the lounge, so I mustn't...
Sounds like global warming and climate change to me

I just got this mental picture of you standing out front of your mountain villa in the Alps singing "Yo de lay hee hoo".

Is terminal velocity how fast you can run when late for your flight?

Ahh --- another chance for me to carry on about linguistic abuse! Aloft at this, at first, but decided it wasn't really funny, but rather was taxiing my patience.

don't worry if you're running late, these days all sizeable airports have travel laters.

I think terminal velocity is the speed you have on your way down when you accidentally step out of a plane in mid-air without a parachute.
I hate it when that happens!
