    Niels, your videos are exceedingly helpful! I am pretty sure the subscriptions are going sky high! And hopefully the contributions for ur videos!
    If I could make a suggestion of a topic, it would be very good if you could explain the use of "er". It is a bit hard to find the proper explanation in grammatical books.
    thanks for ur work! all the best!

    • @lukaz2040
      @lukaz2040 7 років тому +5

    • @LearnDutchwithNiels
      @LearnDutchwithNiels  7 років тому +9

      Thanks Ianna!
      Yes, 'Er' is a difficult topic. In fact, there are 3 different uses for 'er', so I'll probably end up making 3 different videos. There are a lot of topics to cover, but these are definitely on my to-do list

    So I sometimes I like listening to random things and then seeing if I'm able to translate them into Dutch on my own. Well a few days ago someone said "I will do my best", and without even thinking, I immediately got "Ik zal mijn best doen." It was the first time I didn't even have to think about translating it, it just came naturally, so I was quite pleased with myself.

    • @LearnDutchwithNiels
      @LearnDutchwithNiels  7 років тому

      Yup, that's the best part of learning a new language. Sometimes you catch yourself saying things and thinking: 'Hey, where did that come from?'
      Just a small correction though, you forgot to translate 'to do' (not sure if it's a typo): 'Ik zal mijn best doen'

    • @itskoi7811

    • @LearnDutchwithNiels
      @LearnDutchwithNiels  7 років тому

      Hi Andrew, I didn't know that! Can you give me an example in Russian? I'm curious to see how similar it is. Thanks for your comment :)

    • @andrewkev8544
      @andrewkev8544 7 років тому

      (ya poidu v kafe - I will go to the cafe) = (ya v kafe) which occasionally would also mean "I am in the cafe", but it would be ok to understand, (ya poshla v magazin - I(she) am going to the store), = (ya v magazin) where the "go" part is out. Or - You could say - (ya poidu domoi - I will go home) = ya domoi "I home", (ya idu spat' - I am going to sleep) = ya spat' - I + to sleep. (Mozhno mne vyiti v tualet(toilet) - Mag ik naar de WC gaan?) = Mozhno mne v tualet? (Mozhno nam poiti v masterskuiy? - Mogen we in de werkpaats?) = Mozhno nam v masterskuiy? Dat moet - (eto nuzhno(neobhodimo?)) Mag dat - tak mozhno? Ja, mag dat - Da, tak mozhno. Nee, dat mag niet - net, nel'zya. So it is pretty much the same

    • @LearnDutchwithNiels
      @LearnDutchwithNiels  7 років тому

      Hah, that's really similar! Cool, I didn't know that. Thanks for the examples!
      Is it considered informal in Russian, or can you use it in all kinds of situations, like in Dutch?

    • @andrewkev8544
      @andrewkev8544 7 років тому

      I'd rather say it's a way of "Relaxed pronunciation", i am 100% sure that a businessman would say - (ya na vstrechy) - I am going to an appointment, rather saying (ya IDU (go) na vstrechy) or (ya EDU(drive) na vstrechy)

    • @LearnDutchwithNiels
      @LearnDutchwithNiels  7 років тому

      Ah, interesting, so in Russian you can have a sentence without a verb. That's even more extreme than Dutch -- we have to have at least an auxiliary verb.

      Hi Said, good question. This is considered grammatically correct, but it's true that this is a little more informal. However, it is very common. You'll also find it in writing (novels, newspapers, emails...). If you're writing an official letter, however, you should avoid doing this.

    Moet dat?
    Is it necessary?
    Kan dat?
    Is it possible ?
    Mag dat?
    Is it allowed?
    Verder is zoals "weiter" in het Duits.

    Hey Nils: what on earth does "mee" do in the end of a sentence. For instance "reist met je mee" - ins't enough to say "travels with you/reist met je"? Why do we have to add "mee" in the end? Thanks so much!

    • @LearnDutchwithNiels

      Hi Luis, 'mee' has two functions. In your example, it's a part of a separable verb. Here, that's 'meereizen'. I'm not sure if you'll find it in the dictionary, but 'mee' can easily be added to any verb related to transportation. It means 'along with...'. So 'meegaan' means _to go along with (someone else)_, 'meedoen' means _to play along_ (in games or activities), and therefore 'meereizen' means _to travel along_.
      And yes, you're right, 'met je' already conveys this information, so it's redundant. Yet, it's always there. You can drop 'met X', but you can't drop the 'mee'.

    Snelle vragje - U zegt (zachte?){g} als [ɣ], maar ik heb het geleerd als [x] of [X]. Is die van jouw de standaard uitspraak?

      Maar een gok, misschien komt hij van het zuiden. Ik ben er niet zeker van, maar misschien komt hij van Limburg of Noord-Brabant.

    i have one question? ( under which rol Niet is coming at the end of the sentences?

    • @LearnDutchwithNiels
      @LearnDutchwithNiels  6 років тому +1

      Hi! There's no rule that causes Niet to be at the end of a sentence. There are a lot of other rules though, so sometimes it ends up there. I'll try to make a video on Niet in the future. It's unfortunately too much to explain in a UA-cam comment
