The English translation of ‘stukkie wukkie’ would surely be the train is ‘stuck’?

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.

I’m not a Dane though so could be wrong.

Dutch is the language (and demonym) of the Netherlands.

Dane is the demonym for people from Denmark, where they speak the Danish language.

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:

oopsie woopsie! the train is a piece of shit!

we are working really hard to make this maybe you can fwietsen better owo

Here are a few other variations with even better translations

Oepsie! De trein is stukkie wukkie! We sijn heul hard aan t werk om dit te make mss kan je beter. ⇨ Oopsie! The train is a bit wonky! We are working really hard to fix this maybe you can do better.
Oepsie! De trein is stukkie! We sijn heul hard aan t werk om dit te make mss kan je beter. ⇨ Oops! The train is broken! We are working very hard to fix this maybe you can do better.
Google suggests changing the former to: Oepsie! De trein is stukkie! We zijn heel hard aan t werk om dit te make mss kan je beter. ⇨ Oops! The train is broken! We are working very hard to fix this maybe you can do better.
which translates in the other direction from Oops! The train is broken! We are working very hard to fix this maybe you can do better. to Oeps! De trein is kapot! We werken er hard aan om dit te verhelpen, misschien kun jij het beter doen.

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.

A rough translation of the principle of Ubuntu is "humanity towards others". Another translation could be: "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity". in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world
