My Little Dutch ABC Book ~ Y


My Little Dutch ABC Book



Y



Ya Ya ~ Ja Ja



Ja.... meaning yes. But the Dutch love to say Ja Ja. I think it’s sometimes used even when they don’t realize they’re saying it. Like when someone is explaining something or telling a story, the other person will say the double ja ja many times to communicate that they are listening or understand.

Yes, this is something I say all the time.

Lisa.... Do you miss The Netherlands? “ Ja Ja! “
