Watching TV in Belgium today with Dutch subtitles, Abby and I discovered that the Dutch word for "father" is "vader."
That must have made Empire Strikes Back a lot less interesting for Dutch kids.
"Luke, I am your Vader"
"Yeah, I know, that's your name."
"No, no. I mean in addition to it being my name, it's also what I am to you, from a biological point of view."
"Oh, yeah, well I figured that out already, cause you know, it's your name. Gave it away a bit."
