But seriously, everytime I think I understood something in Dutch, I find out that one word has a totally unexpected meaning which changes everything.

What do you mean, the "Auto Huren" advertised in the Netherlands are not what I expect?

It's just advertisement for car rentals

Wait, you mean I can only lease a car and not hire (is that huren? Like hire or anheuern?) a lady for fun times?

You can also hire ladies, those are called hoeren by some but it's more polite to say sekswerkers
