Comment on Why is cottage cheese the only cheese defined by some relationship to a building?

  GHOW-da is about the closest English approximation. The G sound is quite different in Dutch though.

    We actually call it ‘Goudse kaas’, though. ‘Gouda’ is just the city of Gouda.

      I wasn’t going to get into how we form possessives; it will confuse and scare them.

        It works the same in English, though, just with the suffix ‘-ish’ (and a number of other suffixes) instead of Dutch ‘-se’. You could literally translate ‘Goudse kaas’ as ‘Goudish cheese’, Gouda just never gets the ‘-ish’ suffix (or any suffix at all, really) in English.

  Here is how the Dutch say Gouda, with Van Gogh thrown in as a bonus.
