    I'm in a more advanced stage of learning German, but I'm starting to learn Dutch because I have Dutch friends and I'm traveling to the Netherlands soon. I've actually lived in the Netherlands for a short time--regrettably I was amongst only English speakers and I hadn't the time to learn Dutch.
    The one problem I have with Dutch is motivation. I know that my German would be useful on trips to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. I also know from experience that almost everyone in the Netherlands speaks English. IN fact, I've never met one that didn't. So, given that learning a language is hard and because everyone in the Netherlands speaks English AND the fact that Dutch isn't a global language on the scale of, say, German, French or Spanish, I finds myself often asking "why am I doing this again?"
    But the great thing about learning Dutch, especially if you have some knowledge of German, is that it is easy to pickup. Its grammar is far less complicated than German yet so many words are cognates or near-cognates between those two Germanic languages. The real trick is the challenging (for me) pronunciation.
    Where I was stationed in the Netherlands, Limburg Province, they almost all spoke 1) Dutch (of course), 2) English, 3) German and, 4) French.

    @johnverhoef 6 років тому +262

    Goedendag in formal parts is hardly used anymore and just sound weird to the Dutch. To be honest, I heard it only a handful of times in my life and frankly, it kinda creeps me out. Also, the n in Goeden is hardly ever pronounced, except in goedenavond. It sounds extremely weird imo. Better would be to indeed use the parts of the day: Goede-morgen, -middag, goedenavond.
    Goedenavond is a bit of an ugly duckling in this pond as it can be used as greeting as well as a goodbye. Pay attention to tv programs in the evening: the presenter starts with goedenavond and ends with goedenavond.
    At night, goedenacht IS used, but only in sparse occasions as a goodbye. When people go to sleep, one usually says simply "welterusten", meaning good night or sleep well. When it's past midnight and you know the people won't be sleeping any time soon, say goedenacht.
    Generally you can just say "hallo" when visiting people, it generally doesn't matter what the occasion is. This can even further informalized by saying "hoi". Since everything is pretty informal in the Netherlands, goedemiddag has become basically informal as well.
    Tot ziens is rather formal, but somehow acceptable: you'd say it when leaving an job interview, a customer, shop or business. You can also say: doei, doeg, dag (with a long "a" as if there were 2 or 3 a's in the word); and, depending on the area you're in, aju or ajuus is also very acceptable (aju comes from the french "adieu" - you will find that Dutch has a lot of french words and expressions on loan).

Thanks to my knowledge in English, French, German and Swiss German I can already understand most of the Dutch I hear (it's strange how similiar Dutch and a mixture of some swiss dialects sound). Now it's time to learn how to speak it. Thank godness I can pronounce the "g" without my throat getting sore, because it sounds like the Swiss German "ch".

    • @marchauchler1622
      @marchauchler1622 2 роки тому

      Dutch is not related to Swiss German but closely related to Low German and almost fully intelligible for a speaker of Low German. Swiss German is an Alemanic dialect and therefore related to dialects spoken in the South West of Germany.
