The phrase is Flemish dialect from Ghent, where auto is pronounced oto and niet veel becomes nie veel, so the whole line is a local way of saying you know little about cars. The clip is tagged with Romain Deconinck, the Ghent performer long associated with popular theatre in dialect, which helps explain its old school delivery. Short dialect quotes like this circulate on soundboards because they work outside their original context, turning a specific local expression into a general admission of ignorance that Flemish listeners instantly recognise and reuse.
About this sound
A Flemish voice clip in Ghent dialect saying ken nie veel van oto's, meaning I do not know much about cars, used as a funny reaction sound effect.
This is a short spoken clip in the Ghent dialect of Flemish, delivering the line ken nie veel van oto's, which means I do not know much about cars. A male voice says it in a flat, matter of fact way, with the dialect pronunciation turning auto's into oto's and giving the phrase its comic rhythm. The humour comes from the blunt admission of ignorance, said as if it settles the whole subject. Listeners familiar with Ghent speech hear it instantly as a self deprecating punchline rather than a serious explanation about vehicles or mechanics in general.
