"True enough."

This reminds of one of my conworlds, which has a language which is almost identical to Dutch.

Dis mek mi tingk bo iman (iman olda taym) dem gwombl bo fantasi wohl uman swong pas difen, olbit dem in boda don majik an dwagn-dem.
That reminds me of men (always men) that whine about women in fantasy worlds being too strong, while they have no problem with magic and dragons.

Women are stronger than people think, swords are lighter than people think.

Fo ray, oba wen it in go no uman-dem ina ray wohl sef, dem ebl fay a gut sem iman-dem, yu nahf no gol fi sta bol an kway wen som uman ebl mek dis, ina wohl af ohk an elf.
Indeed, but even when there wouldn't be any women in the real world capable of fighting as good as men, there's no good reason to start throwing a trantrum when some women can in a world with orcs and elves.

Om dichez que fictjon scientific est la fictjon del possibel, ez fictjion fantastic est la fictjon del impossibel.
'They say that science fiction is the fiction of the possible, and fantasy is the fiction of the impossible.'

Je ho pflus interést en il possibel com en il impossibel.
'I am more interested in the possible than in the impossible.'

Mas quand quelqun haz pflus interést en il impossibel, ést est en order.
'But if someone has more interest in the impossible, that's okay.'
