Hallo Diederik and Ron, re: "Wat voor een hond is dat?". I am just back
from vacation so I may have missed some of this string. So if I make a fool
of my self; so be it. In Dutch you can also say "Wat voor hond is dat?" or
even "Wat is dat voor een hond?" and also "Wat is *dat* voor hond (stress on
dat)?"
And my question now becomes. Does this have any similarity to the English
(slang?) "Whatfor", like in "He gave him whatfor" (gave him a piece of his
mind?
Jacqueline
