Really? So, if i tell you I have a mexicaanse roodknie, you know what species I am talking about? Because that is the common name for this species in MY country.

Before 'mexicaanse roodknie' there's a 'De', by chance?

I love the double letters you Dutch use, like Haarlem.

Cracks me up because I imagine a Carlito's Way kind of scene with Luis Guzmàn talking with a retired soul musician in Harlem. Uh, not so weird since that city name was New Amsterdam

Yes, there can be a 'De' before it, lol! Didn't want to confuse the guy too much.
Yes New York was New Amsterdam, but the English just had to have it
Not that Amsterdam is such a beautiful city anymore, just a tourist trap with lots of coffeeshops and a big red light district. I prefer Utrecht, much nicer and more authentic Dutch architecture and history

If you want to be taken seriously, better start using scientific names. Common names are made up by petstores to impress new customers.

Oh I know I know! Can i tell him?

But it's too easy

'mexicaanse' <-- btw how much lovely are double letters? is 'mexican'?

'rood' I think is 'red' and 'knie' is 'knee'?

Thanks for making me spit out my coke
No, you can't tell him. He's the common name expert, wouldn't want to sound elitist now do we?
