| Jun 21, 2016 at 8:26 | comment | added | SQB | @Willeke "fountain" is not a correct translation for "fonteintje", I think. | |
| Jun 20, 2016 at 17:35 | comment | added | Willeke♦ | In the netherlands they will show you the kitchen sink or fountain when you ask to 'wash your hands'. Can you add where you are from, that might help me with where to use it. | |
