    Thank you soooo much, I always had a slight problem with this. "Pas" is actually super funny for me because it means "dog" in my native Croatian.
    You're growing a nice beard by the way. :)

    • @LearnDutchwithNiels
      @LearnDutchwithNiels  7 років тому +6

      Hvala! Glad it helped. I always thought it was funny that 'sir' means cheese in Croatian. It makes English honorific titles a lot funnier ;-)

    Ik woon al drie jaar in België en ik wist het niet om hoe "maar, pas, Allen" gebruiken.
    I hope my sentence is well constructed. Thank so much for this video

    • @LearnDutchwithNiels
      @LearnDutchwithNiels  7 років тому +1

      Dag Lucille, ik ben blij dat het heeft geholpen! As for your sentence, I would say: "Ik wist niet hoe (X) te gebruiken". You can do that with any question word if you want to avoid repeating the subject, like: "Ik weet niet wat te doen". Easier is probably adding adding a 'hulpwerkwoord' (kunnen, mogen, moeten, willen): "Ik weet niet wat ik moet doen" or "Ik wist niet hoe ik (X) kon gebruiken".

    • @lucilleirakiza1508

    @sherminkiller 2 роки тому +1

    I really appreciate your content! I already knew maar and alleen but pas I didn't understand. The Dutch have so many different ways to say things which their is only one word for in English. This makes it a real handful to understand all of the differences in Dutch as a native English speaker. Half the time I'm just sticking to maar and sounding silly

    @hansmoerbeek4482 7 років тому +1

    Hey Niels, very nice lesson, I have immediately referred you to a British friend aspiring to learn Dutch. One thing though, I think there is yet another word in this series: "slechts". It is a more formal word, I believe, it's not a word I’d easily use when speaking. But in writing it is pretty common. "Ik heb slechts drie boeken". I think it is the equivalent of "maar".

    • @LearnDutchwithNiels
      @LearnDutchwithNiels  7 років тому

      Hi Hans, thanks! Yes, you're right, 'slechts' is a formal synonym of 'maar'. I didn't include it because you don't need it very often, but I guess I could have mentioned it, because it is pretty common in advertisements, for example.

    @mrwizzardknight 5 років тому +1

    Fancy that huh Niels mate?! XD In this video when you guys say; "maar" to mean "only" it can also mean; "just" in the same context! XD Because like you said; "Maar" being our only option" I.E ; "Kijk maar naar hoe makkelijk dit" "Just look at how easy this is"! XD Granted there are gonna be times when ya gotta say; "gewoon" that also means; "just" but in THAT context you guys mean; "simply" and "net" that definition of just means; "recently" I.E "Hij is net gekomen" "He has just arrived"! XD I swear to god Niels mate! Learning Dutch for nearly two years has taught me very amazing English lessons I was never taught at school or college! XD

  • @Ubasnyat

    Hi Niles, thank you for the video, your lesson is very clear ans easy to follow! One question what is the difference between duur (deze auto is te duur) and dure (ze hebben alleen dure auto)?
    May I request you to make a video on the Dutch spelling rules - the long and short vowel sound and open and closed syllable. This is very confusing and the way you explain things are so simple and easy to follow. Thank you in advance.
