    In Dutch, a T is sometimes pronounced S

    Politie (police) is pronounced polisie for example

    In the word politiek (politics) it remains a T sound

    Democratie -> democrasie

    Etcetera

      Again, does that mean that T sounds like S? Do you often confuse T for S? Would you say “shit” sounds the same as “shis”?

      You find that in a lot of european languages, even in English almost everything that ends in -tion is pronounced -shon.
