The words! the words!

I started this whole thing and in the last few posts I have not added dutch words of the day:

So here is an extended round of Dutch words:

Gesloten: closed
Groeten: vegetables
Pikant: spicy (this word needs some qualification: in theory pikant might mean spicy but that is just not how the Dutch do their food).

Urvashi!
The other day a gentleman wanting funds came into my office here (Uganda), and he studied in Holland for two years and taught me some dutch to use on my dutch friends (you, and the Mac crowd).
I've since forgotten everything he told me, but now I'll just use your blog to gain fluency.
