this is obviously a joke but it contains more dutch than people unfamiliar with the language might guess.
here is google's translation of a verbatim transcription of the image:
Here are a few other variations with even better translations
Maybe a Dutch speaker will comment here and tell us how many of the words in the image are actual Dutch words? I suspect google is probably providing plausible translations for some that aren't really.
It's more like : oopsie woopsie! The train has broken down. We're trying very hard to fix it. Maybe you'd better take a bike (or "bwike")
I assume "oopsie woopsie " is not a typical phrase in the Netherlands, and it's like Ned Flanders from The Simpsons saying "whoospie doodle"?
Haha “flanders”
Flemish person here, lemmy do an attempt to translate preserving the infantile language:
Oopsy woopsy! the train is broky woky! We aww wowking vewwy hawd to fwix it. Mby you should bike instead owo
The English translation of 'stukkie wukkie' would surely be the train is 'stuck'?
I'm not a Dane though so could be wrong.
Google translates "stukkie wukkie" as "piece of shit" or "wonky", depending on other nearby words, and "stukkie" as "broken". but neither of these words is in a dutch dictionary afaict. And google doesn't translate anything i tried to those words.
Dutch is the language (and demonym) of the Netherlands.
Dane is the demonym for people from Denmark, where they speak the Danish language.
