Cultural Note
Chillen is a perfect example of how Dutch adopts English words and gives them full Dutch conjugation. Young Dutch speakers use it constantly. It gets the Dutch past participle prefix 'ge-' (gechilld) and regular Dutch verb endings. This anglicism is now firmly part of standard youth vocabulary.
