Dankjewel voor deze video I recently bought one of your beginners course and I found it to be a lot better than Duolingo Just one thing I would like to add is that although you do a good job explaining the word through body language I think sometimes explaining in English will help a lot.
Aha, that's for one level up. Doordat is used with causes, and not so much reasons: Doordat het regent, moet ik een paraplu nemen. You could use omdat here too, but you can't always use doordat for omdat, e.g.: Omdat ik naar België ga, leer ik Nederlands. In this sentence, there is no direct cause between the two but there is a reason. So doordat isn't used.
Hi Asad, a main clause can be on its own, for example: I go to the supermarket because I need vegetables. 'I go to the supermarket' you can use without the rest. 'because I need vegetables' needs the other part, so that's the sub-clause. More info: www.studyandexam.com/types-of-clause.html
Vanwege is indeed because of, a synonym of 'door'. It can mean 'from' with a person too, e.g. when you give a present to someone: 'vanwege Sayantani.' More info (in Dutch): www.schrijfwijzer.nl/taalvragen/verwarwoordenboek/verwarwoord/530/vanwege-wegens
You explain the structural consequence of using omdat vs want, but never explained what is the semantic difference that would make me pick one or the other (assuming the subordinate is the second in either case). Thoughts?
Hi Alain. I have a question about the pronunciation of double e. Like in word heet. You pronounce it as a long e like [hi:t]. Other people pronounce it like ei - like [heit]. Is it just an accent?
You are getting confused because you are ignoring the conjunction “omdat” (which joins 2 clauses together). The first clause is “ik kom niet”, and the second clause is “ik autoproblemen heb”. So the verb “kom” belongs to the first clause, not the second. In the second clause, the only verb is “heb” and it has to be the “ik form” because the subject is “ik”. Hope this makes sense.
Keep going please do not stop we are learning a lot from you
Best Dutch learning channel I’ve come across yet🥳
Short and sweet (and excellent) explanation.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot! That's why I created this channel, some things are really hard to explain in Dutch itself...
Hii, I really like your lessons! please do a video on the uses of 'hebben' an 'zijn'. Thanks :)
Do these help? For zijn: ua-cam.com/video/mroeh7_UPXo/v-deo.html, for hebben: ua-cam.com/video/Bhjo9fI9JLs/v-deo.html
Is possible to have private lessons?
Hi Mierek, sure. Can you send me a message through my Italki profile so I can invite you? italki.com/teacher/4147515
Great, sentence structure with want = denn in German, omdat = weil ( + Verb at the end ), as in German
German certainly helps!
And door = durch
Hi Alain! Can I put "door" in the middle of the sentence? For example "Ik kom te laat door mijn autoproblemen"?
Yes, you can, and here's more about door: ua-cam.com/video/8REM-plvvI0/v-deo.html and about because (of): ua-cam.com/video/pCre_ThmZzw/v-deo.html
Hi teacher, you have told us the usage of omdat, want, and door. However, what is the usage of doordat?
Aha, that's for one level up. Doordat is used with causes, and not so much reasons: Doordat het regent, moet ik een paraplu nemen. You could use omdat here too, but you can't always use doordat for omdat, e.g.: Omdat ik naar België ga, leer ik Nederlands.

@@LearnDutchwithAlain oké zeer bedankt
Exceptional. Dit is erg gemakkelijk!
Is it the same as afrikaans
You’re the best! Dank u wel!
Graag gedaan!
Teacher, what about “vanwege”?
Hi Kevin, it's a synonym of 'door'.
Hi
What is subclaus and main clause?
Hi Asad, a main clause can be on its own, for example: I go to the supermarket because I need vegetables. 'I go to the supermarket' you can use without the rest. 'because I need vegetables' needs the other part, so that's the sub-clause. More info: www.studyandexam.com/types-of-clause.html
Hi Alain!
Sometimes we use "vanwege" too for "because of". How does that work ?
Vanwege is indeed because of, a synonym of 'door'. It can mean 'from' with a person too, e.g. when you give a present to someone: 'vanwege Sayantani.' More info (in Dutch): www.schrijfwijzer.nl/taalvragen/verwarwoordenboek/verwarwoord/530/vanwege-wegens
Is there a difference in meaning of these two words?
No.
If you’re going to say ‘because of’ you also have vanwege. :)
True, it's used less. You can also use it as 'from', like 'vanwege Marie'. Also, you could use wegens to say because of.
thank you very much!!!!
You're welcome, hope it helps.
You explain the structural consequence of using omdat vs want, but never explained what is the semantic difference that would make me pick one or the other (assuming the subordinate is the second in either case). Thoughts?
Because they both have the same meaning.
Hi Alain. I have a question about the pronunciation of double e. Like in word heet. You pronounce it as a long e like [hi:t]. Other people pronounce it like ei - like [heit]. Is it just an accent?
It's just an accent.
@@LearnDutchwithAlain Very cute
is this also applicable to afrikaans?
I wouldn't know :) Perhaps you could ask it on a UA-cam channel for Afrikaans?
How come at 2:26 the final verb “hebben” is “heb”? I thought when the second verb goes on the end it’s in the infinitive form...
Hm, it's the first verb and it stands with 'ik', so it's ik heb. Autoproblemen is not a verb. Does that answer your question?
You are getting confused because you are ignoring the conjunction “omdat” (which joins 2 clauses together). The first clause is “ik kom niet”, and the second clause is “ik autoproblemen heb”. So the verb “kom” belongs to the first clause, not the second. In the second clause, the only verb is “heb” and it has to be the “ik form” because the subject is “ik”. Hope this makes sense.
It does @@MohsinKhan-me4mo

Vanwege?
That's because of or from.
