Spain isn't highlighted for any of á, é, í, ó, ú. Any other mistakes people notice?

[-] Maestro@fedia.io 14 points 3 months ago

The Netherlands should be highlighted for ë but isn't

[-] hyves@feddit.nl 7 points 3 months ago

ï, ö, ü, ä as well (as a diaeresis, not an umlaut)

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 1 points 3 months ago

I can't think of any examples using those

Geïnteresseerd, geïntegreerd, geüniformeerd.

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 0 points 3 months ago

Die eerste 2, natuurlijk, ik weet niet waarom ik dat niet kon bedenken.

Geüniformeerd heb ik nog nooit gezien, zijn er ook woorden met ö of ä?

[-] oktoberpaard@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

Coördineren. Met een ä kan ik niet bedenken of vinden.

Kanaän?

[-] MadBob@feddit.nl 4 points 3 months ago

And for à, as in "30 à 50 wilde varkens".

Also é and è: crème, café, etc. Words that originate from France, but they’re used in the Netherlands as well. We also use the accent aigu for emphasis. Also ê for maîtresse, crêpe, etc.

Or just greeting someone with “hé daar!”

They've split Finland pretty arbitrarily into areas where (supposedly) Swedish speakers are found for 'å', but there's really no reason for it. The letter is a part of the Finnish alphabet and taught to everyone in school, so it should cover the whole country I think.

Ireland should be highlighted for Éé

[-] Johandea@feddit.nu 5 points 3 months ago

Swedish uses é

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

I think it excludes it because é is only used in words from french and not swedish words.

[-] Johandea@feddit.nu 3 points 3 months ago

But some words aren't spelt with é in French. Tupé (toupee) is spelt toupet in French. The word is a loanword, but the letter isn't.
