A verb (in Dutch: werkwoord) is that a part of speech that describes an motion. Verbs are available an virtually bewildering array of tenses, moods, voices and facets, and there are a number of main varieties: intransitive, transitive, ditransitive, and ergative verbs.
Fortuitously, the Dutch verb is just not too totally different from the English one, though it does have a number of extra kinds.
I am known as Standish Ik heet Standish What are you known as (named)? Hoe heet u? ...that she is known as (known as) 'Alice' ...dat ze 'Alice' heet We are each known as Robert Wij heten allebei Robert
| Pronunciation | |||

Truly there are often three kinds. This may be seen from:
| I consider | Ik geloof |
| do you consider? | gelooft u? |
| to consider | geloven |
Within the case of heten the additional -t doesn’t get added as a result of the stem already ends in a -t.
In a later lesson we’ll revisit the verb kinds related to every individual.

Grammatica 2-2 ~ Inversion in questions and negations[edit]
You could have puzzled in regards to the order of the phrases in
- ik geloof dat ze Alice heet.
Although Dutch verbs usually are not a lot extra sophisticated than English ones, phrase order is. The truth is it’s fairly a bit extra sophisticated than in English. For the second let’s simply depart the above sentence for what it’s and begin with questions.
Questions[edit]
A query sentence in Dutch merely reverses the order of topic and verb.
Recall: U heet meneer Standish (‘You’re named Mr. Standish).
It turned: Hoe heet u? as a query
The conventional phrase order of topic (u or “you”) then verb (heten) is reversed and, on this case, an interrogative (hoe or “how”) added.
Further examples:
| Hoe gaat het met u? | ↔ | Het gaat goed met u |
| Bent u mevrouw Koopman? | ↔ | U bent mevrouw Koopman |
| Bent u Nederlander? | ↔ | U bent Nederlander (“You’re Dutch”). |
| Verstaat u mij? | ↔ | U verstaat mij (“You perceive me”). |
| Gelooft u? | ↔ | Ik geloof |
English does the identical factor when utilizing the verb to be:
- I’m – are you?
- ik ben – bent u?
Dutch does not use the auxiliary to do as English requires in most different instances:
- ik weet – weet u?
- I do know – are you aware? (as a substitute of “know you?”)
Negations[edit]
The adverse is shaped by merely including niet on the finish:
- Ik versta u – I perceive you
- Ik versta u niet – I don’t perceive you
Once more, Dutch does not use the auxiliary to do. (The truth is utilizing it sounds very overseas.)
Even a adverse query doesn’t use to do:
- Verstaat u mij niet? – Do not you perceive me?
YOUR TURN – UW BEURT!! • Lesson 2 • questions and negations

- U gelooft de man niet

- Ziet de man de vrouw? – Does the person see the lady?
- Verstaat u Nederlands? – Do you perceive Dutch?
- Is het meisje daar Anne? – Is the woman there Anne?
- Hoort U beneden mensen? – Do you hear folks downstairs?

- Helen: I consider her title is Caroline.

Grammatica 2-2 Adjectives, demonstratives and articles[edit]
Gender[edit]
The place English makes use of the demonstrative pronoun that, Dutch makes use of both dat or die, recall:
- dat nieuwe meisje. Die brunette. – that new woman, that brunette
Equally, the place English makes use of the article the, Dutch has two prospects: de or het, recall:
- de boekhouding, het meisje. – the administration, the woman
We’ll revisit this phenomenon (gender) within the subsequent lesson extra extensively. There’s a little bit of an issue with it in Dutch.
For the second it is sufficient to notice that there are two sorts of phrases,
- ones that take de and die
- ones that take het and dat
For that reason it’s advisable to all the time memorize a phrase collectively with its particular article, e.g. as “de boekhouding”, not merely as “boekhouding”.
Each articles and demonstrative pronouns are a particular type of adjectives: phrases which can be added to make the which means of one other phrase extra exact, like new, small or thrilling
YOUR TURN – UW BEURT!! • Lesson 2 • die en dat
Exchange the articles by the right demonstratives die or dat and translate (might need to guess a bit):
- Het huis (home) is van het nieuwe meisje
- De huizen zijn erg groot.
- De boekhouding is niet in orde
- De brunette heeft lang haar.
- Ik weet het telefoonnummer niet.
- Weet jij wie de vrouw is?
SOLUTION • Dutch/Lesson 2 • die en dat
- Dat huis is van dat nieuwe meisje – That home belongs to that new woman
- Die huizen zijn erg groot. – These homes are very massive
- Die boekhouding is niet in orde – The administration is just not so as
- Die brunette heeft lang haar. – That brunette has lengthy hair
- Ik weet dat telefoonnummer niet. – I have no idea that phone quantity
- Weet jij wie die vrouw is? Have you learnt who that lady is?
Inflection[edit]
Recall that some adjectives within the dialogue led to -e (mooie meid), generally they did not (is erg mooi).
Adjectives can be utilized in two methods: in entrance of a noun and after a verb like is (a copula). In English the adjective stays the identical regardless:
- The home is crimson (copula + adjective)
- The crimson automotive (adjective + noun)
Behind a copula (as predicate) that is true in Dutch as effectively:
- Ik ben gek (I’m loopy)
- Ze is mooi (She is fairly)
- De auto is rood (The automotive is crimson)
However in Dutch they’re inflected in the event that they happen in entrance of a noun (as attribute). Evaluate:
- de rode auto – the crimson automotive
- een rode auto – a crimson automotive
- de rode auto’s – the crimson vehicles
- rode auto’s – crimson vehicles
Neuter phrases are those that carry the particular article het and the demonstrative dat. They’re a bit totally different (Once more: we’ll revisit them within the subsequent lesson.)
- het rode huis
- een rood huis – a crimson home
- de rode huizen
- rode huizen
As you see the adjective is just not inflected after the indefinite article een.
This additionally holds if there isn’t a article:
- met groot gemak – with nice ease (het gemak: neuter)
However:
- in hoge nood – in desparate want (de nood)
Thus, aside from the indefinite neuter an attributive adjective is often inflected with -e.
There are a number of exceptions, evaluate e.g.:
- de man – the person
- een grote man – an enormous man
- een groot man – an amazing man
YOUR TURN – UW BEURT!! • Lesson 2 • inflection
Put the adjectives in parentheses within the appropriate kind
- Dit is een (groot) boekhouding
- Deze haren zijn (lang)
- Dit (groot) huis is (hoog)
- Weet jij wie die (mooi) auto heeft?
- Dit is een (klein) meisje
SOLUTION • Dutch/Lesson 2 • inflection
- Dit is een grote boekhouding
- Deze haren zijn lang
- Dit grote huis is hoog
- Weet jij wie die mooie auto heeft?
- Dit is een klein meisje
Making nouns out of adjectives[edit]
Adjectives may be become nouns, by assuming their inflected kind:
- Dat is een grote
- That could be a massive one
- Dat is een kleine
- That could be a small one
- Die lange heeft mijn fiets gestolen
- That tall man has stolen my bike
Discover that Dutch doesn’t use ‘one’ in such instances.
There are a selection of adjectives that may be become nouns by including -te. All of them carry de. In English the corresponding suffix is -th:
- wijd – wijdte (extensive – width)
- lang – lengte (lengthy, tall – size)
- groot – grootte (massive – dimension)
- breed – breedte (broad – breadth)
- eng – engte (slim – narrowness)
