The adjective meaning "free" is "vrij" or "vrije" in Dutch.

Amusingly, the Dutch verb "vrijen" does, in fact, mean to have sex.


I like the Afrikaans (evolved from Dutch) even better for its streamlined spelling and double-use depending on context:

Vry == "free" (noun) or "to court/kiss/have sex" (verb, contextual).


You really just made an account now to make that point?

He made an account name called vrijen which is having sex in dutch.. as he himself explained. Not sure if you noticed that part
