Zwarte Pieten are helpers in the Netherlands. Their name translates into English as 'The Black Men'. But they aren't Santa Claus' helpers in the Netherlands.Instead, they help 'Sinterklaas', a man who comes before Santa, on December 5th. He brings gifts and puts them in the shoes of the Dutch people.The real equivalent of 'Santa Klaus' isn't 'Sinterklaas' in the Netherlands. It's 'de Kerstman'. That translates into English as 'The Christmas Man'.
In Belgium Santa Claus is known as Père Noël, Kerstman, Sinterklaas, or Saint Nicholas.
Santa is called '(de) Kerstman' in the Netherlands.
Sinterklaas (Santa Claus)
The literal translation for kerstman is 'Christ(mas) man' :)
de Kerstman. But Santa Claus originated from our Saint Nicholas, who we also call Sinterklaas.
"De tu" translates to "your" in English.
The indefinite article "de" in Spanish is analogous to the indefinite article "of" in English.
