    Introduction

    Hi all.

    As you all can see, my name is Abel. I'm from the Netherlands, 26 years old and I've been dabbling at fencing for about 2 years now. I understand this is a forum mostly concentrated on North America? Well that doesn't bother me much. The main reason I subscribed on this forum is to ask questions about my gear. And I'm sure you are able to answer those questions just a well as any European fencer.

    Well now... off to the correct forum to post my question.

    Seeya all around!

    Hi Abel...

    Welcome

    Are you fencing at the Kardolous Klub?

    I'm a little curious about that group.
    Take your time. Read carefully.

    Anyway, very welcome to the forum Abel!

    LOL

    I think you just told me to overtake in a party-ish manner.

    Thanx for the welcomes. And I'm sorry, I'm not from the Kardolus club. I fence at SVTA. www.schermverenigingterapel.nl

    "Is dat een betere vertaling? Welkom." is as clear as day. But even though the words are definately dutch I can't make heads or tails from the way the first part is arranged.

    Not really. Just tell me what you tried to say in English, and I'll give you the proper dutch translation.

    Ah, but I have my own personal dutch (ooops sorry: Dutch) translator!

    Anyway, I just wanted to wish you very welcome to the forum but I suspect you already guessed that?

    What weapon do you fence, Abel?

    Elke dag is een partij in deze plaats!

    I've always thought Dutch was easy to interpret, you just have to smile alot when you read it outloud, then it translates exactly as it sounds!

    If that makes any sense at all!
