DUTCH Proverbs

Van een mug een olifant maken. - Een kleine zaak overdreven groot voorstellen.
means To make an elephant out of a mosquito.
Some people make small situations excessively large which is not needed. They can speak exaggeratedly or boastfully about things. These people react extremely to situations which can be handled normally. So, do not make an elephant out of a mosquito.

About this Blog

I make this blog for foreigners who will live in this country, THE NETHERLANDS. Foreigners who are engaged or married they have to learn a lot of things about their new home like the culture, architectures, landscape, government, dikes etc. Especially the Dutch language which is very important in their social life. It is very difficult if they cannot communicate with other people. Most people speak Dutch, only few speaks English.
For visitors and readers, this will give you an idea what this country is. This small country ranks no. 5 in the economic stability in EUROPE. Their architectures like palaces, castles, dikes, ports (air and sea) are amazing.
Their culture is very interesting.
