3 :
Unlucky. There's only one "n" in Danish btw.
4 :

Belgian (n) 1. A native or inhabitant of Belgium
6 :
Belgian. People from Denmark are Danish, not Dannish. People from the Netherlands are Dutch. Of all western European citizens, only the Dutch aren't named after the name of their country.
7 :
If they are from the upper part, they are called Flemmish, if they are from the bottom, they are called Dutch. It depeneds on the locational and lingustic part. The general term is a Belgium.
8 :
Quick answer: Belgian. There are two divisions depending on the language they primarily speak. French speaking Belgians and Flemish speaking Belgians. The Flemish speaking Belgians are sometimes referred to as Flemish. Dutch is a different nationality. People from the Netherlands are Dutch and Dutch is also the name of the language they speak. Sometimes the Netherlands is referred to as Holland but Holland is only part of the Netherlands. The confusion between the Flemish and the Dutch is caused by the fact that Dutch and Flemish are close, language-wise that one can be confused for the other. I hope this clarifies things.

Can I remeber a Language that I forgot when I was 6 years old

Can I remeber a Language that I forgot when I was 6 years old?
When I was younger I used to live in Denmark. At around the age of six my parents migrated to the Uk. As I was quite young then I learnt fluent english in about 8 months and forgot Danish at the same time. If I start learning danish again at the age of 16 will it come naturally to me. Thank You any answer will be helpful.

Yes. By the way, if you learnt fluent English, what is the definition of remeber?
2 :
While you will have to learn the structure and vocabulary of Danish, you will have an advantage in that you will be able to pronounce it with a native accent if you were fluent at the age of 6.
3 :
Hay Yasmin, At the age of your six,you did not know the danish language very well and that is why you forgot that language when you were in UK at the same time.So nobody can assure you that again the language of danish will go to you naturally.But don't worry & no matters how it comes,important how you talent are to learn it.

What is the temperature in Scotland, during summer

What is the temperature in Scotland, during summer?
Im going to be with my girlfriend all summer who lives in Scotland, and she claims that during summer they barely reach 10C degrees. I live in Denmark and we get 25C-30C almost every day of the summer. Do you relly not get any higher temperature during summer? She lives in Southern part of Scotland (Near Dumfries, if anyone knows that place!)

1 :
In the more summer months, the temperature can reach up to 18-25C. At nightime it drops down to about 10C. It's not too hot, but it is scotland! They even get snow in February sometimes!
2 :
10C might be a little exaggeration there but not by much sometimes.its generally colder and wetter than england and has very changable weather.sometimes there is very nice sunny weather and warm temperatures but rain is never far away so be aware of that if your planning on spending time outdoors.most of the time it will probably be somewhere between 17-25C although spells of weather either cooler or hotter than that can happen.midges (similar to mosquitos) swarm in their thousands which can be quite an annoyance.id recommend you pack a raincoat,some long trousers,tshirts, a couple of sweaters/hoodies,some shorts, mosquito repellent and a camera with lots of memory as scottish scenery is spectacular. be aware that the weather can be very changable and often with "4 seasons in 1 day" so it could be glorious sunshine in the morning and raining by lunchtime or vice versa.have a good trip!
3 :
can reach 30 on the hottest day of the year on the odd year varies between 12-25 normally though. Today it was 14C in Feb so its not bad :) did drop insalely low this winter though
4 :
In summer the temperate in the central belt varies between around 12-20C. 20C would be considered a good day. We get a handful of days each year when it might get as high as 25C.

They're called Belgians, I'm pretty sure. (Pronounced Bell-Juhn, Bell-Gen generally.)
2 :
Belgian. There are two main types of Belgians though, the Walloons and the Flemish. North Belgium is the area of Flanders and Wallonia is in the South. The language in Flanders is Flemish and the language in Wallonia is French. (There is also a tiny region in the east of Belgium where they speak German). This means you have Wallonian Belgians and Flemish Belgians. Hercule Poirot was Belgian but I have no idea if he was a Walloon or was Flemish! Additional: Conor's Mammy - hell, of course he was Walloon! Logical - he speaks French! I should have worked that out myself, thanks :)

belgianese?
4 :
Belgians As in a famous nationalistic song which no one of the present generation remembers : "Flamands et Wallons sont nos prénoms, Belges est notre nom de famille!" A tiny Belgian speaking German Heather? Must be a leprechaun living somewhere between Eupen and Malmedy.
5 :
I'm a Belgian, we are Belgians. And we drink Belgian beer :-) I live in Flanders or the Flemish region, so I'm a Fleming.
6 :
The adjective used for people from Belgium in English is "Belgian". However, the Belgians are not one people. Around 60% of the population speaks Dutch (or a dialect, called 'Flemish'). The Flemish (called Vlamingen in Dutch) live in the northern part of the country (Flanders, in Dutch: Vlaanderen). The Dutch word for Belgians is "Belgen". The other 40% of the population, living in the southern part of the country (Wallonia, or in French: la Wallonie) speaks French. These are the Walloons (French: wallons), the French word for Belgians is "Belges". Only in a handful of municipalities in the east of Wallonia (less than 1% of the entire Belgian population) German is spoken. So, in conclusion, people from Belgium are called "Belgians" (Belgen(D)/Belges(F)), the Dutch-speaking Belgians are called 'Flemish' (Vlamingen, adjective Vlaams), the French-speaking 'Walloon' (wallons, adiective wallon). I hope this helps!
7 :
Belgians !
8 :
Belgian. Heather J: Poirot was Walloon Belgian, at least he speaks French which limits it to being from Brussels or the Walloons. Edit: regarding the whole Flemish/Walloon discussion: bleh! I just consider myself Antwerpian, so there! Discussion closed.
