    Hehe in Dutch the word “exactly” would be pronounced ‘ikzaaklie’ in Dutch, but that doesn’t help you either haha. Meaning the ‘e’ is more a ‘i’. The Dutch word for exactly is actually “precies”.

      Lol the pronunciation of ikzaaklie, does sound of how we say it - our word for it is Præcis. I’ve been to Holland a couple of times and sometimes I understand what you guys are saying, sometimes definitely not. But I imagine Dutch is actually not far from our language 🍻
