In the Netherlands basically everyone uses whatsapp. In the beginning people would say send me a whatsapp or something like that. But pretty quickly people started to shorten it to just app. So people will say stuff like I just got an app (instead of message), it drives me nuts. Like my family chat group is called "app group".
In Italy people loves start up companies because they think they all make apps. And they write is as "Start apps"
Lmaoo, Italian here too, I never had the pleasure to see that slip up, where have you seen it on usually?
You don't talk to enough 40+ years old hahah
Guess not, not yet at least
That's funny, especially since no one wants a new app on their phone. Right?
Are you sure it’s not appje?
Yes but I felt adding the "je" part would make it more confusing for non Dutch readers.
