    In what language, somewhat related to English, is rein a type of weather, kaai a metal device, grien a colour, goes a bird and tsiis a type of food?

    Question #113822. Asked by flem-ish. (Apr 02 10 10:42 AM)

    		rein=rain; kaai=key; grien=green; goes=goose; tsiis=cheese. I'm think it's West Frisian.

    		So you mean the variant as spoken in the Netherlands: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisian_language

    		Hi flem-ish. I struggle with American English, my native language. I typed the words given in your question into Google, one at a time. All of them came back as West Frisian. I cannot say with 100% certainty that 'West Frisian' is the answer. Possibly one of the other Frisians languages is the correct answer?

    		No no..West Frisian is linguistically correct, but in practice people in the Netherlands leave out the qualification West. To them Frisian is one of their official languages and is officially taught at school, at least in the province of "Friesland".
