think • In West Frisian, the word 'tink' literally comes from the verb tinke, meaning 'to think.' However, in casual spoken language, tink has taken on a new grammatical role. It acts like a modal particle — a small word that reflects the speaker’s attitude, tone, or assumption, rather than adding new content. So in this context, tink doesn’t mean 'I think,' but rather adds a subtle emotional or rhetorical flavor, like right?, isn’t it?, or even a sarcastic sure in English.
