Something I like about the language is the homonyms.
Like pad means both toad and path, but then you have a voetpad (foot path/ foot toad), fietspad(cycling path/ bicycle toad) or a zebrapad (zebra crossing/ zebra toad).

The latter ones don’t exist, just to be clear :)

bicycle toad

The latter ones don’t exist

Are you sure?

Pff, that's clearly a frog 🙄

Though a frog is called a kikker, which is kind of funny I suppose :)
