I have a hard time remembering my words from last week, let alone 2-3 years ago.

Lol, dat= that in Dutch.

Nein, I do understand it though. But I never liked the language ( sorry Germans) so never bothered learning it.

It’s fairly similar to Dutch, no?  Not that I could understand it while I was there.  But it was close enough to German to be confusing I guess.

I lived in Suriname for about 2 years in the 1980s. A former Dutch colony. But that expression is an English slang

It's very similar, that's why I can understand it. I do regret that I didn't take classes though, as a teenager it sounded very harsh to me.

Very harsh and guttural.  Guten tag.  Guten morgen.  So many hard G’s in that language.
