nbt, nbs, mi 9 ~ from Dutch

12:49 am

cybernan

ty rain -- guess that is the real dutch spelling as opposed to the one we are more familiar with?

12:51 am

sprite

yes it is, except the plural is not

1:00 am

cybernan

pure guess on my part and a very small familiarity with other dutch words

1:01 am

sprite

mi8 is real dutch spelling. The mi9 is english plural to a dutch word. Dutch plural would end in -en

Mi8 help anyone?

4:08 am

MollyL

Well, Ru isn't here anymore but mi8 is the Dutch equivalent of Mister, and alternate spelling and one of the nastiest words I have seen in a grid.

4:11 am

rururocks

Thank you found it

4:11 am

MollyL

*an alternate spelling

4:12 am

rururocks

I was trying to spell it ither ways

4:13 am

MollyL

It is hard for an English speaking person to imagine that third letter works.

5:51 am

rururocks

Is it a dutch word?

7:15 am

MollyL

Yep, that is why I said it was the Dutch equivalent of Mister. 😋

de8 is the state of being nimble or having dexterity. The 10 is the plural, which fall into my "BS that's a word" category.

Been learning Dutch via Duolingo over the last year...obviously I haven't gotten to mi8 yet!

9:21 am

dauber

Ooh....got it...it's a literal translation of what that word actually means.

9:23 am

MollyL

Okay, not sure what a "literal translation" is

11:40 am

MollyL

I've seen people use cray cray (which I think is a bit on the weird side) but never cra cra. But then, I don't hang around with kids much.

4:12 pm

sammysmom

i must have clicked on a wrng thing and my pc is soooooooo slow............... can anyone tell me how to fix this?

4:14 pm

Shellbell_o-well

unfortunately first and usually most effective thing is always "restart"

4:14 pm

cybernan

and clear you browser cache

4:16 pm

Shellbell_o-well

ya, that too

4:16 pm

sammysmom

how do i clear ther broiwser cache?

4:17 pm

Shellbell_o-well

also can happen if there are too many windows open

4:26 pm

cybernan

are you usicng a pc?

4:27 pm

Shellbell_o-well

well, different computers, phones, etc might require different ways, but I typed "how to clear browser cache" in Chrome browser window and this prompt came up "clear browser cache"; you just click on it and it goes to a menu

4:28 pm

cybernan

yes -- if you are using windows you just type clear browser cache in the task bar search window and follow the instructions

4:29 pm

phaeton
