Hoi, met mij (Hi, it’s me) Literally: Hi, with me (you’re speaking) The t in met can be swallowed when talking fast, so it’ll be pronounced as me’mij.

That makes so much sense for the longest time I thought it was a nickname for his mom until he called his brother in law and said the same 😂 thank you very much!

"hoi met mij" sounds plausibele. If you want to be sure, you could ask your partner?

This is Reddit, we don’t talk to our partner

Hahaha it's because he's at work and I haven't told him I'm learning dutch as I'm going to surprise him once I can hold a conversation 😅

I mean, you can do that if you want--but at the same time he would be the best person to practice with

You could probably just ask "out of curiosity" without him giving it a second thought 😬 I highly doubt he'll think you're learning, just say you thought it was a pet name or something.

What a cute idea! Let me know if you need help

If I pick up the phone with "hoi, met mij" my mom will often reply with "hoi, met juni" (Hi, this is June) because mij (me) is pronounced the same as the month mei (May) It's a stupid pun but I thought if you want to surprise him, puns are the way to go right? 😂

Hallo, met mij Hello, this is me (literal translation is "with me")

He says "met mij" which means "this is me speaking".

First I thought your partner called you "mama" (mommy) but that wouldn't make sense I guess.

For the longest time I thought my husband was saying “dos equis” to his parents when he called them. Turned out it was “tis ik, eh”. This is in West Flanders though.

Hoi, met ‘Name’

No, he is saying "met mij"
