Bedeutung
To go in the wrong direction.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Dutch people are very precise with directions. If you take a wrong turn, they will likely tell you exactly where you went wrong. In Flanders, the phrase is used identically, though the accent might differ. Similar to the Netherlands, Germans value precision and will use this phrase to explain delays. Americans use 'took a wrong turn' frequently in movies to signify the start of a horror or adventure story.
