Denn en Do"neken:

"Können Sie mal den Zügel halten?"
"Bitte?"
"Ob Sie mal das Pferd festhalten können?"
"Bitte?"
"Einmal noch: Würden Sie mir bitte das Pferd festhalten?"
" Und ek fraog auk naomaol: beißt er?"

> headquartered. The word >kloten< in today's Dutch became a vulgar
> expression for: >annoying< (though the traditional Dutch sport of
>Klotjes
> schieten< cannot be regarded as vulgar. The word is related to the North
> German >Kloesse< [dumplings/balls]).

Noch en Ulk: " Hengsteysee ", dat es en Stausee bi Hengstey, es
auk bi de Plattköppe bekannt as "Piärreklötendieke".

Gued gaohn

Weel here's ma bawbie's wirth:

Wee Jimmie wis sittin at the back o the cless no taen muckle tent tae whit
wis gaun on.
The teacher comes ower tae hm an spiers
"Are you called Jimmy?"

Jimmie says "Naw Miss!"

O coorse whit Jimmie haurd wis "Are you cauld Jimmie?"

The bairns wis haein biology lesson an wis watchin ane o thae byordinar
programmes makkit bi the BBC.

It wis aa aboot hou fowk sweits.

Efter the programme the teacher spiert:

"Through what does sweat discharge itself from the body?"

A wee laddie gied the repone "Throu yer paws miss!"

O coorse the wee laddie haed haurd that fae the programme - the Inglis
pronunciation o 'pores' bein 'paws'. (In Scots ye pronounce the R)

Ae year loads o Scots scholars didna dae awfu weel in thair History
o-grade.

The qaistion wis pit:

Explain how x discovered y?

Aw the Scots speakin scholars gead on tae expoond 'WHY' x discovered y.

How (hou) in Scots means 'why' an aa.
