Idioms game with SBD prizes (number 7)
Please if you are Dutch/Belgian please leave the "correct" answers for other people from other languages, so we can all have fun! The prize for the "funny" answer is bigger anyway. Bedankt!
Sitting around at the swimming lesson of my child. The most exciting thing is that they pick her up and throw her into the pool! After that, it is down to writing this post.
So, I'm learning Dutch. Everyone is familiar with idioms in their native language, but in an adopted language, they can quickly make you sound like an idiot! So, these are a few idioms in Dutch that I'm trying to learn, before I make an arse of myself!
Photos are my own!
To play this game, no Dutch is needed, I will give the literal translation in English.
Rules
- Have a go at trying to guess the meaning of each picture/idiom. You can enter BOTH a serious and a funny entry.
- Do it for each three!
- So to be clear: Each picture, a funny entry and a serious entry!
- Winner is at post payout. For the first serious correct entry (of each picture) there is a prize of 0.05 SBD. For the funniest (determined by me!) entry (for each picture) there is a 0.1 SBD prize.
- So, 6 prizes! You don't have to make an entry for each, but please make it clear so I know what is going on!
1

I dont know if this counts as cheating since my mothertongue is german and dutch and german are quite similiar but i thought i might give it a try :D
I'm not sure if the idioms are the same or not, probably not, but we'll see in a week! (3)
Basically, if you already understand the idiom then you should remove your 'real' answers, if you don't and you needed to guess then it's okay!
Ok edited the second one because i think its the same in german. 1 and 3 were guessed so lets see if i get even close to the right answer :D
Thanks! It keeps it fun for everyone!

@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #61. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.
The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.
If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest List I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.
P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!
New idiom post up!
https://steemit.com/contest/@bengy/idioms-game-with-sbd-prizes-number-8
Spreading rumors/ Throwing paint on people you don't like.
Take the lead/ Slowing down competition.
Carry the load or person in charge/ Bring out your dead (Monty Python)
Resteeming to grow the competition! Great idea.
Thanks for the resteem! Answers in a week! (1)

I have to say that I am not actually learning much Dutch but I do have fun with these games. This week I am going for the funny guesses for a change :)
You can go both serious and funny answers, the rules evolved since you last played? (7)
Yeah, I think I missed the last one... it was a week when I started dabbling with the curiously addictive pixel art program MagicVoxel :p But I am determined to improve my humour so I am just going all out for the funny answers (and maybe I'll even get it right for the serious answer... now that would be funny)!
