Haha, good look.
I guess if you're Boerke, the only drawback is having 'Charlie Brown' head. I guess the 'Captain Picard look' up top kinda disguises that a little.
A bit late, but the “oe” in “boerke” is the same sound as the “oo” in “moon”. The last e is a schwa sound (a short uhh). It means little farmer.
THANK YOU. So, what do you think? Dutch or Flemish pronunciation makes more sense, here?
Definitely Flemish. It’s a Flemish cartoon and the -ke ending is very Flemish, the Dutch would say “Boertje”.
