Dutch people are really strange they are not like germans. If they start to hear that you do not speak good Dutch then they start talking English. In Germany people want to speak German but in the Netherlands I think they want to show that they can speak English.
Dawid, next time someone speaks in English to you even if you addressed them in Dutch, just tell that person: "Sorry, ik spreek geen Engels." and keep speaking Dutch. :D
@@dawidkaal3307just tell them you want to speak dutch, and its not because we want to show off it is because the conversation is just going better in english but if you tell that you want to speak dutch we will talk dutch with you! its not that hard to tell some1 what you want lmao
@@dawidkaal3307 It's not like this outside Randstad though. In my experience, it's often the opposite - I start speaking in English and the other side replies in Dutch. Nowadays I generally address people in Dutch and I've never got a response in English yet. I live in North Brabant, by the way.
3:20. The interviewer made a mistake when he says ‘een groot familie’, it should be ‘een grote familie’. This is one of the tricky aspects to learn about Dutch. If he used the word gezin then he could have said ‘een groot gezin’.
Echt leuk om dat te horen van dat meisje met de lange gedichten. Hebben wij ook, ik had er dit jaar eentje die over de A4 heen was, gewoon omdat ik erop gelet had dat ze korter moesten. Normaal zit ik vaak over het A4-tje heen. En verjaardagen zijn bij ons altijd met taart, thee en dan een schaal tuc-jes, een 'beker' pepsils (zoute sticks) en een kommetje tomaatjes, stukjes wortel, stukjes augurk, kaas/ham en toastjes met brie en voor eventuele kinderen is er popcorn.
heel interessant, 'heb leren een veel aantal woorden en zinnen, maar het nemende extra tijd voor praktijk en maak zeker het is juiste ook ( some mistakes will still happen nog 👌) al het beste!
I think that's very unfair to say that if you don't have family you have nothing. I personally know a person who lost both their dad and their mom, so it would be very unfair and rude to say this to her. We have to consider those people too.
This is true! Sometimes people say things not out of rudeness or bad feelings, they just don't think deeper about other situations they don't know, but I'm sure this person didn't want to offend someone who hasn't got a family, he/she probably just wanted to remark the importance of a family. - Mario
"Die" can also be used instead of the personal pronoun "zij". "Hun" would be in standard Dutch not correct as a personal pronoun, as it is a possessive pronoun, translating the English "their". It's true that in many variations "hun" is used as a personal pronoun.
content is very useful. Thank you! Could you please help how to participate in the next Polyglot event? I am from India , I am confident that I will speak Dutch by the end of this year :) . Your videos are very helpful.
Well, that doesn't mean you can't ask the question. If you ask me; 'Do you have pets?' I can also get upset, because I'd love to have a rabbit, but my house is badly build and therefore it gets 45 celcius in the summer. Yet, I would réálly want a rabbit, I really miss having a rabbit at my parents house, the former ones died. I've been asked by a salesman; 'Oh, you look like a girl that loves to go out with friends, do you have many friends?' and I didn't have any friends.I also don't go out. So, it can be sad, but it can also be happy. You can't not-ask the question, if people get upset, they can say; 'No, I don't want to talk' and walk off.
So we should stop asking questions because it might hurt someone's feelings? Reminds me of the woman who wanted a ban on Mother's Day because her mother died when she was a baby. Mother's day was hurting her feelings, so no one should celebrate having a loving relationship with their mother.... Sometimes the world doesn't revolve around you and your feelings, though.
@@williamgeardener2509 Agreed. I think this is a fairly safe question. A while ago, EasyGerman did a video about vaccinations, where they asked people if they were vaccinated and if not, why not. _That_ to me, was a very personal subject and given the stigma and the controversiality, I wouldn't have asked people at that moment. Because some had very good reasons to get/not get vaccinated and they still got slaughtered in the commentsection. Familylife is not the same as 'do you want kids/do you have kids and if no, why not' or 'what do you hate about your family?' Familylife is a safe subject and otherwise, the people can try to steer the direction of the conversation, it's a broad subject, not a direct question.
@@hirsch4155 You can, but that says a lot in interviews. I've avoided/swerved questions and sometimes they continue asking or conclude; 'So that means you are ... then?'
Came here from easy german, now I want to learn dutch too ! Keep with the good work

Ben altijd bezig Met de taal.

Even by Dutch standards, Arnhem looks pretty chill. I also noticed that this might be the 1st Easy Dutch video without seeing a single canal.
Arnhem doesn't have any canals that's why ;)
DIG A CANAL NOWWWW !!!!

Top!💯👍
4:35 Why did he use "Die" and not "Hun"?

Sounfs impossible
I denk dat in NL familie en gezin is veel belangrijker dan in soms landen.
It sounds like Arabic to me
Because of the 'g' sound, it is very similar with the Arabic 'g'

This question is not very good too personal. It might hurt someone feelings.
