hello thanks for the great session i am at the very beginning of Dutch i have a question when we want to create a question sentence from a regular one by using question words like waarom , waar, etc you are saying that just you do (inversion) and add the question word at the beginning of the sentence. How about boterhammen zijn van mij (sandwiches are mine) if i want to say which sandwiches are mine according to rule you mentioned it is supposed to be welke zijn boterhammen van mij ,,,,,,,, (instead of welke boterhammen zijn van mij) because the verb (zijn) and the subject (boterhammen) should be inverted and the question word will be written at the beginning of the sentence may you please clarify it for me thanks in advance
Hi! That's a really good question. Actually, 'welke' (which) and 'wiens' (whose) are not the same type of word as wie, wat, waar, hoe, waarom and wanneer. 'Welke' and 'wiens' always stay together with the noun. Basically, they are the question-version of 'deze' and 'mijn'. So: Deze boterham is van mij --> Welke boterham is van mij? And: Mijn auto is groen --> Wiens auto is groen? I wish I had included this in the video, but unfortunately it's not possible to edit them. Thanks for asking, though!
I've been struggling with German in the past. I recently turned my attention to learning Dutch as well. Your videos are logical and easy to follow. The best content I've found on language learning. Thanks!
Aside from making lessons so easy to understand, you have such a reassuring spirit that us students find motivating. I hope all is well with you, Niels! Thank you for your amazing work 🙏🏽
Great videos Niels! I backed you up on Patreon and I told my friends to do the same. I really like your way of teaching. Really relaxed and well explained. I'd love to see some videos with shortcuts, like you see on the book "Dutch for English-Speaking Expats". You're awesome! keep it up jongen
Dude you are such a legend, your videos are helping me so much. I am moving to the Netherlands next year so will be watching all of them repeatedly! :)
Please come back man I charish these videos. I hope all is well with your new job and pray that you will have time to produce more videos in the future. No need for such high quality, just your teaching is enough :)
Hi Niels! Your videos help me a lot a lot a lot. I’m learning Dutch in Brussels with CVO . The teacher is good but the problem is that the teacher only speaks Dutch in the Dutch class and so she can’t explain clearly the rules of grammar . I was still confused about the grammar after one month learning . Thank you so much you make everything clear
I started learning Dutch in September and have recently discovered your channel, I love the way you explain everything, it really helps a lot. Dank je wel en ik hoop dat je meer video's maakt! :)
love the straightforward yet clear way you explain the subjects in your videos. language learning apps have been helpful for me but none of them really explain how sentence construction and grammar actually work. ive learnt a lot more about that from watching your stuff. thanks!
I just found your channel, I'm doing an intermediate class and can't speak English in class to ask basic questions about the fundamentals that I've forgotten- these videos are so helpful mate, I'll share with my classmates and drop a donation via Patreon
You should never stop your vedios cause I really need to more vedios to understand your language in addition to the amazing way you present your lessons 😀
Is it possible to ask questions in inversie? Like we have the sentence: (Normal) Ik heb tassen. (Inversie) Tassen heb ik. (Question) Heb ik tassen? So, me as a beginner Dutch speaker, I am asking, questions in inversie like “Tassen ik heb?” are grammatically correct? If not, how to ask questions in inversie? Are they even possible? EDIT: Grammar
Ik moet zo snel mogelijk Nederlands leren! Omdat ik een MVV aanvraag moet doen en mijn familie in Amsterdam spreekt Nederlands! Ik wil dat iedereen trots is en uiteindelijk zal ik het mij lukken! De zekere manier van slagen is om het nog een keer te proberen! Het valt mij op dat als ik meer mijn best doe, ik meer geluk heb! Wat vandaag zwaar voelt zal morgen jouw kracht zijn. Voor iedere uitdaging die je tegenkomt is er een mogelijkheid en zul je groeien! Soms wil ik opgeven, maar dan zeg ik tegen mijzelf: nah, probeer het nog 1 keer! Het zal niet makkelijk zijn, maar het is het waard om mijzelf een hart onder de riem te steken toch?
I really like your videos and wonder if you have one that explains when to use je, jij, jullie or jou? I get very confused when to you which. Keep them coming please and thank you.
The letter "y" does not exist in Dutch. Instead we have the "ij" which used to be one letter, but in this keyboard times we write it as "ij". It is pronounced as the english "i" in the word "ripe" (not quite, but close). Only at the end of a word with vocals in front (like in my surname, see above) it is pronounced as the english "y" as in "yonder".
Hey Niels, I am from Germany and would like to learn some Dutch for travelling but esp. to visit Amsterdam. I am very surprised to learn that the Dutch are extremly well at speaking English but I am somebody who "respects" each national culture by learning some basic level of the home country's official language. Anyway, is it true that's "sufficient" to know good English [without knowing Dutch] in order to get along with the natives ?
Hi Benjamin! Yes, that's a very good topic. I do want to discuss that some time, but as you can see, I don't get to make new videos very often, so I can't make any promises.
Beste Niels, jouw video's zijn ontzettend interessant. Kunt u misschien een video maken over wanneer wij de/het + beste/meeste + bijvoeglijk naamwoord/adjectief + st gebruiken? Mijn tweede vraag is ik word echt dankbaar als u een video maakt over wanneer moeten we jou en jouw zeggen! Mijn hartelijke groet, Yasin Jafari Chofe uit Heerenveen Friesland
Hey, hele duidelijke video, mijn vriend leert nu nederlands. Net kwamen we een oefen vraag tegen waarvan hij dan een vraagzin moest maken, het antwoord is Welke nationaliteit heb je? maar ik kom hem niet helemaal duidelijk uitleggen waarom nationaliteit na welke kwam. hoe kan ik dit uitleggen?

Thank you. Can "Kan ik" and "Mag ik" be used interchangeably?
Absolutely brilliant !! Dankje!
Quick question, is " y " always pronounced like the English y in "yellow " ?
The letter "y" does not exist in Dutch. Instead we have the "ij" which used to be one letter, but in this keyboard times we write it as "ij". It is pronounced as the english "i" in the word "ripe" (not quite, but close). Only at the end of a word with vocals in front (like in my surname, see above) it is pronounced as the english "y" as in "yonder".

Hi, Niels. Could you please make a video about de modale partikels? Ze zijn moeilijk te leren! Dank je wel! :)

Dank je wel Niels 😊tot ziens

Hey, hele duidelijke video, mijn vriend leert nu nederlands. Net kwamen we een oefen vraag tegen waarvan hij dan een vraagzin moest maken, het antwoord is Welke nationaliteit heb je? maar ik kom hem niet helemaal duidelijk uitleggen waarom nationaliteit na welke kwam. hoe kan ik dit uitleggen?
