Dutch lesson no 1: Lekker-ishing and lekker-isms

Do you see any connection between the images bellow? If you are Dutch, the answer is easy :)




However complicated Dutch language might be, there's one mandatory word that you can apply to basically everything and that will make you sound really local. Isn't that lekker?

Originally it was used to describe tasty food, the equivalent of delicious in English. But it has gone waaaay beyond that, and it can be used when talking about nice wether (lekker weer), a pleasant weekend (lekker weekend) or to the sexy guy/girl at the next table (He is soooo lekker (aka yummy)). But feel free to apply it to everything that is cool, great, nice, pleasant, good, enjoyable...
