Learning a new language is never easy, but it can be fascinating to start learning something new. Dutch is the language of Netherlands, and it is a beautiful country indeed. For travelers wanting to explore the country, they must know the basics of the language, at least some basic words. Business travel demands professional expertise, and that’s where documents translations services may be needed. Let’s take a look at some words to start with:
Gezelligheid
The word is often used to mean coziness. For Dutch people, the word represents fun and leisure time in which people come close together and are united by the sense of personal comfort and togetherness.
Dank Je Wel
The word means “thank-you” and its literal translation is “thank you indeed.” More formally the word is used as dank u well. The word is used more politely when you want to say thanks to someone locally. You are sure to get a smile.
Lekker
It is a Dutch adjective and has many connotations of the positive attributes like nice appealing and high-quality. The tasty and hearty food is commonly called as “lekker”, but the word is used in many other senses. It is often applied to attractive people, nice clothing, nice weather and even a good night’s sleep.
Wilt U De Bon?
The English translation for the phrase is “Do you want your receipt?” You will frequently hear this phrase when got for shopping in any supermarket. When you go shopping your receipt is surely going to get printed, but you will get it when you are going to request it. If you do need it, just say “ja”
He He
The exhalation is mainly used to express discomfort, satisfaction or relief. The word is mainly used when someone wants to alleviate from completing a really busy day at work.
Borrel
In which language can you find a word for an informal gathering at the pub? In Dutch, you have one and this special time of day is called “borrel”. Although “borrels” are often inside bars, many employers organize after work drinks in their offices on the Friday afternoons. They are commonly known as “Vrijmibo”.
