Flemish artist Pieter de Poortere. And I don’t have the slightest idea how to pronounce “Boerke” correctly, in Flemish. Would it be like in Dutch, or a little different?
Btw, English, Flemish and Dutch are all “Low Germanic” languages as I understand it, which suggests to me why the text is so easy to read. Well, “storen” in this case means “to disturb” it seems, so slightly different there.
A bit late, but the “oe” in “boerke” is the same sound as the “oo” in “moon”. The last e is a schwa sound (a short uhh). It means little farmer.
THANK YOU. So, what do you think? Dutch or Flemish pronunciation makes more sense, here?
Definitely Flemish. It’s a Flemish cartoon and the -ke ending is very Flemish, the Dutch would say “Boertje”.
