Skoftig, hillegaar or an the reed be. Words that many West Frisian sometimes use. But which word or saying do you think stands head and shoulders above the rest?
One West Frisian still regularly speaks the dialect, while the other sometimes uses a few words here and there. We are curious which word appeals to you the most.
We asked participants of the NH-Nieuwspanel the same question. We have made a list of eight West Frisian words and sayings from this. Choose which word is your favorite below.
At the end of the week we will announce which word is the most popular.
The week of the West Frisian language
During the week of the West Frisian language, NH Nieuws pays a lot of attention to the dialect in West Frisia. The language is part of the region’s identity, but it is also under pressure. Is there a future for West Frisian, who still speak it and what do we still see in the streets?
