Dutch

The English phrase ‘oh my god’ can be expressed in Dutch in several ways, most commonly as lieve hemel.

In Flemish Mijn liefste is a warm way to say “my love”. Mijn schat means “my treasure” and is just as common, and liefje is a light, friendly pet name.

I love you in Pennsylvania Dutch is Ich lieb dich. It is close to standard German Ich liebe dich, without the final e.

In Flemish “chicken” is kip, the same word as in standard Dutch. In local dialects you will hear kieken.
