Why Does Search On Yahoo Go To Netherlands

Mrs.dash in the netherlands?

I do not remember having ever seen it in the Dutch supermarkets, (but do search in the ones near where you are,) so I expect you need to look in import shops.
You will find those in all big cities in the Netherlands and in several of the smaller ones which have an international public.

If you add your area I will try to find a possible shop near you, there are too many in the whole of the country.

What is a motto for the netherlands? A short summary of dutch culcure?

The Dutch motto is: "Doe maar normaal, dan doe je al gek genoeg." Meaning (I paraphrase): Just act normal, that's crazy enough. Which in turn means we like to think of ourselves as down to earth.
We are in the process of trying to figure out who we are as a nation and how we can define ourselves, but this is something we can all agree upon, as this has been our motto for decades.
The book The Undutchables by Colin White and Laurie Boucke is excellent if you want to get to know the Dutch from a foreigner's perspective.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Why is the Netherlands also called Holland, while its people are called Dutch?

The Netherlands has been popularly called “Holland” because the province of Holland dominates the country and was even very important before the country was founded in the 16th Century. Holland is the West Coast of the Netherlands that faces England, and thus English people would be interacting mostly with people from the actual province of Holland. 7 million of the 16 million Dutch people live in Holland. The moniker “Dutch” is an Anglicization of “Deutsch.” Until the 16th Century the Netherlands was part of the Holy Roman Empire (most of that has become modern day Germany), The Count of Holland was bound to the Holy Roman Emperor and German King. The Germans call themselves “Deutsch”. Until the 16th Holland was the West Coast of Greater Germany. In the 16th century Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who was also King of Spain, cut the Netherlands and Belgium away from the Holy Roman Empire and attached them to the Spanish Empire, as he thought his vast holdings were too much for one man to rule. Upon his death he left his son Phillip II as King of Spain and overlord of “The Netherlands” and his cousin Maximillian as Holy Roman Emperor. Since that moment The Netherlands and Belgium have formed separate countries from Germany. The Dutch rebelled almost immediately against their Spanish Overlords and the 7 northern provinces reached a de-facto independence fairly quickly. The other 6 provinces didn’t like to be called Holland, so they they named their new country the United Provinces of the Netherlands and it was also known as the Batavian Republic. The dispute with Spain was mainly religious, but also had to do with trade. The Spanish wanted to keep The Netherlands Catholic, and the Northern provinces wanted the freedom to be Protestant. Over the next two hundred years the United Provinces would take on a King and gradually gain control over the southern Catholic provinces, but it wasn’t until 1815 that it officially became the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and at that time was united with Belgium and what is today the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Belgium got its independence in 1830, through British and French intervention, and Luxemburg in the 1850s through German intervention. What we call The Netherlands today has existed with its current boundaries only since the 1850s. The other 10 provinces don’t like being called Holland, just as in Wisconsin we don’t like being called California.

How are blacks treated in the Netherlands?

I’m a black male who’s planning to move to the Netherlands after college anyway let’s say if I move to the city of Groningen Netherlands in search for a job will I face any discrimination in that city at all.

Why does my Google Chrome think I'm in France? How can I make it realize I am actually in California?

Ebay in Netherlands in English?

No "they" don't, sorry - it's Dutch or nothing understandably.

If you want it in English then use http://www.ebay.co.uk/ and change the search options to look in Europe (or EU, I forget) and then sort the results to find the ones in the Netherlands. If you are selling then you might also be able to use the UK version - but you would have to try.

However Marktplaats (also only in Dutch) is far more popular (and free to place items, unlike Ebay) for buying/selling http://www.marktplaats.nl/ I have seen adverts there in English as well as in Dutch, although of course having it in Dutch would mean it appearing in more search results.

Alternatively you can use Google translate by entering the URL - but I don't know how well this would work. http://translate.google.com/translate_t#...

EDIT - changing the setting to worldwide will not change the page language - it will only open up all the advert to sales from throughout the world which is not very practical given postal costs.

My google page automatically goes to netherlands languange?

1. Check the browser's setting for preferred language: Tools | Options... | Content: at the bottom, in the Languages section, click on Choose.... and make sure Netherlandsese is not first.

2. Check that the URL is http://www.google.com/ and not, for example, http://www.google.nl/

3. If you have a Google account, (check upper right of Google search screen for your username), click on Settings beside your name, Search Settings... and choose the language you wish.

4. If no Google account is logged in, click on Settings at top right and set it back to English (or whatever you prefer).

Why does Google on my Chromebook redirect to Yahoo?

I’m not sure I understand the symptom. Are you saying that when you click the home button in Chrome it routes you to Yahoo! or are you entering the Google URL and being rerouted to Yahoo. The home button would make sense if the you’ve set your default search engine as Yahoo; That scenario is as easy to fix as entering your Chrome settings and changing your default search engine. Entering Google’s URL into the web address bar and being routed to Yahoo! would be a big No-No on someone’s part, as they will have effectively hijacked either your machine or Google’s servers and your machine being compromised would be the far more likely of the two.My Chromebook was in pieces, write protect screw removed, altered GBB flags and flashed Linux to my device to eventually port Mac OS X Yosemite through GalliumOS; Minus a few key items (iMessage, Facetime, Apple App store, etc) but, in terms of ChromeOS, it would be great for the casual user, which I am not, so I don’t have a wealth of experience in the environment.

How different are Dutch(Nederlands) and Frisian(Frysk)?

This answer is just about Frisian in the Netherlands, not about the German area, as I do not know enough about the situation there.

All Frisian speakers will understand and almost all or all will speak Dutch. This is because only the old people would not know Dutch, but when they were young schooling was done in Dutch, and Dutch only.
If they do not speak Dutch now it is because they have never used it from the moment they left school, although till the 1970's or so, Dutch was the language to be used at the town hall and the doctor, maybe still, as not all local doctors will be fluent in Frisian.
The people young enough to have been taught in Frisian always had to learn Dutch alongside, often even as main language. This also because there is a limited amount of higher education in Frisian and the students going to university will have to leave the province,

I find it not hard to understand much of Frisian, but many people outside the province find it very hard. But there are different dialects within the area and some are harder to understand than others.

I guess it is as different as Norwegian or Swedish.
It is in the same language group but a different branch within the group.
I can not make a fair comparison to German, as I have learned to understand that language from childhood on.
