It’s interesting because this also happens in other languages. In Dutch we only use couple (koppel) for people in a relationship.

If you are talking about other things we use “pair” if you have two. But over time people also started using pair wrong, so someone saying “ik heb een paar knikkers” I have a pair of marbles, can still mean he has 5 marbles.

In practice people usually just say I have two marbles when they mean exactly 2.

To add to this, jealous is for example when you are afraid your partner will dump you for someone else.

When I search in a 30KM radius, the cheapest house starts at 140K euros. You only get 19m² (204 sq ft) so it’s like just one room? But for 150K you can get a 55m² (592 sq ft) house that’s probably a bathroom, livingroom and bedroom.

Per square feet actually more expensive, but houses in the Netherlands aren’t that big anyway.

How many times did the thought, when do I need to eat the dog cross his mind? Awesome they both made it alive!
