Big ego
My girlfriend and I lived in Holland for a couple of years and when we moved there we were determined to pick up the language. As a way to meet the locals my girlfriend had started striking up conversations when she went to the gym. As an opener after doing some exercise she would say how tired she was. She used the phrases Ik ben mooi. After a while she wondered why people she spoke to were giving her funny looks. Unfortunately, instead of saying 'I am tired' she had been saying all the time 'I am beautiful'. The phrase she should have used is Ik ben moe.
