The answer to the riddle is: Klimmen (6 letters).
Here’s the breakdown:
- Met lange tanden: This translates to “with long teeth” in English. It is a Dutch idiom that means to do something with difficulty or reluctance.
- In de bergen: This translates to “in the mountains” in English.
Therefore, klimmen (meaning “to climb”) perfectly fits the context of the riddle. Climbing mountains can be a difficult and challenging task, hence the metaphor of “doing it with long teeth.” The word also has the correct number of letters (6) to satisfy the riddle’s requirement.
