Re: 'Die honde blaf hulle koppe af'

Elsie, denk je niet dat dat een Anglicisme is? Jacqueline

PS. ik probeer ook alle anglicismen uit het Nederlands te wieden. Dat
verzekert me dat ik tot op mijn honderd

vijfentwintigste werk heb. Just call me Doňa Quixote

Hi all,

Yes, Jorge, you can say this in Afrikaans: 'Die honde blaf hulle koppe af'
although it is nonsensical.

Dear Ron,

Ourweekly English writers group (all displaced to Puerto Rico--includes a
Dutch woman, an Australian, a Sardinian and two *gringos)* was wondering if
it is possibleto say, "The dogs are barking their heads off" in Dutch?

And inother Lowlands languages?

I know thisdoesn't respond to any thread and if you don't wish to publish
this, I willunderstand.

Cheers,
JorgePotter
