to sit → zittn

West Flemish people love efficiency. Why two syllables when one can be done? The dull -e before -n simply disappears. 'Working' becomes 'werkn', 'sitting' becomes 'sitting'. It sounds like they're in a hurry. Spoiler: they have that too.

Fernand gestures to a garden chair: 'Goa doa moa zittn.' You guess you should sit down. How do you write 'sit' in West Flemish?
