In Dutch or Flemish, what does 'Ge zijt nen engel' mean?

Squisher

It's part of a campaign for citizens to behave on public transit -- something like behave like angels. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=nl&u=http://www.kathleenvanbrempt.be/mobiliteit/ge-zijt-nen-engel&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=4&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dge%2Bzijt%2Bnen%2Bengel%26start%3D10%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-CA:IE-SearchBox%26rlz%3D1I7ADBF%26sa%3DN%26pwst%3D1 Aug 03 08, 4:42 PM

Flem-ish

This campaign was launched as a reaction against a number of incidents in public transport. Ge zijt nen engel is typically Flemish and not Dutch. It's a perfect example of tussentaal. "Ge zijt" is archaic for "Je bent", something a normal Fleming will never say. "Too Dutch". "Nen" for "een" is a dialectical form of the article. Only "engel" would occur in real Dutch, but as an idiom it's not Dutch either. It' s the Flemish way of saying: "You are being sweet". But mind..these linguistic forms are close to Middle Dutch. http://www.gezijtnenengel.be/homepage/_nl/ Gezijtnenengel Aug 03 08, 7:34 PM
