Wait until they figure it out that Harlem is named after the Amsterdam suburb, since New York was originally New Amsterdam.
Also Brooklyn is named after Breukelen. Vancouver was named after Van Coevorden. Tasmania was named after Abel Tasman.
It's almost as if the Netherlands used to be relevant in world exploration
Never made the connection between Brooklyn and breukelen... Which is a lovely place btw.
I got my first covid shot in Breukelen because it was my only option. Later I would go through it to get to Utrecht because it is so much more beautiful than just taking the A2
Nice yeah I know exactly which road you mean, with the crazy houses.
The one that goes past Nyenrode, through Loenen
And Staten Island was named after the governing body of the Netherlands. Staten-Generaal (States-General)
Yonkers comes from the Dutch word Jonkheer. Which is a low ranking title of nobility similar to Squire. The guy that was granted the area was a Jonkheer.
We still are ๐ข
The world is pretty much all explored. 'We' are only relevant in supplying lithography machines to the chip industry. Oh and farmers.
Haarlem is not a suburb but it's own city, it is actually the capital of the North-Holland province.
I think suburb in English can mean nearby cities, too. For example, Alexandria, Virginia is a suburb of Washington, DC.
Sorry, I think it might have been something lost in translation, I was trying to say "settlement located close by and heavily influenced by another much bigger settlement". I don't know a better word for it.
"Satellite city" might do the trick.
Fair enough, I just wanted to say that I meant no insult to the good people of Haarlem.
And the rest?
Wait, it's all Randstad?
Always has been.
I recall that from Istanbul (not Constantinople) - They Might Be Giants
This is closer in spelling: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealand ๐
That article literally says the other one is what New Zealand is named after.
yes.
