Baas Boppe Baas

At the bottom of this post is a link to episode 1 of the Dutch series "Baas Boppe Baas" about Beant Baas the Grandad of the family the series is based around. This series is actually in the language Frisian, not Dutch. Frisian is the closest language to English, but the pronunciation is quite different. It's been influenced by Dutch, the second closest language to English. In this series, one regular character Talieta (his daughter in law) speaks Dutch the whole time, but she understands the Frisian the other characters are speaking. In this episode, the property developer speaks Dutch some of the time, but also Frisian. The property development sign is in Dutch and so is the email written on the distinctive, classic CRT style iMac computer from the turn of the century.

Synopsis:

Beant Baas (Rense Westra) is angry because a property developer (Hilbert Dijkstra) wants to build a service flat in the village. However, his daughter in law Talieta (Meriyem Manders) sees the flat as suitable for her in laws, Beant and Joukje (Hilly Harms). She eats and flirts with the project developer! How far will she go to achieve her goal is the big question.

(original Frisian version)

"Beant Baas (Rense Westra) is poer om't in projektûntwikkeler (Hilbert Dijkstra) in serviceflat yn it doarp bouwe wol. Skoandochter Talieta (Meriyem Manders) sjocht de flat lykwols wol sitten om har skoanâlden, Beant en Joukje (Hilly Harms), it hûs út te wurkjen. Se aaiket en flaaiket mei de projektûntwikkelder om! Hoefier sil se gean om har sin te krijen is de grutte fraach".
