> While some language purists frown upon this influx of English to the Dutch language, it’s really no surprise. So many Dutch speak excellent English.
Neat!
It's not the first European language I've read about that the speakers of such a language can speak English really well.
> As Gustav Meeuwenfiaster noted in a comment to Diego Hernandez's answer, Frisian is the closest to English. Dutch and Afrikaans come next. Danish, Norwegian and Swedish are also quite close. These are all Germanic languages and share a common (long extinct) ancestor.

Indeed!
I guess the biggest surprise (for me) is Afrikaans.
I remember you told me that once, but I still know virtually nothing about Afrikaans.

Q: Feeling amazing or amazed?

v kumarIs there anything wrong with saying "I was feeling amazing at the party with all my friends around"? Is it grammatically incorrect? Should this be said some other way?

Something is exciting because it makes you excited. It excites you.
But when someone is worrying... they may not worry us.
