Nice video.. Thank you 🙏

I've been speaking Dutch for well over 30 years and one normally just knows when to use which word but I never realised there's actually some logic to it. Well logic... consistent rules of some sort, which is more than I'd expect in our otherwise beautiful language ;p

Rules are really just the codification of custom. Native speakers learn from imitation, usually from their families. That’s one reason it’s harder to learn a new language as an adult. 😄

Thank you so much: it is so clear when you explain

Thanks very much

and what about another exception - het meisje?

Thank you so much! I confess I am used to put all the substantives into "tje" form so I can use het hahahaha but I'll try to stop doing that, specially now after your amazing explanation! :)

DE video ;)

Of course the nouns in Dutch have a gender, which you need to remember. De = masculine and feminine words, het = neutral words. For example: 'the gouvernment has made it's decision' = 'de regering heeft haar beslissing gemaakt'. We use 'haar' because 'regering', like almost all words ending on -ing (similar to the German -ung), is feminine. But 'the wine slowly gives off it's taste' = 'de wijn geeft langzaam zijn smaak af'. We use 'zijn' because 'wijn' is masculin. De wijn = masculine/zijn, de regering = feminine/haar. Neutral words always use het en zijn.

You are right, of course. But since many Dutch natives don't even know this, I don't feel it is fair to bother my students with this. Maybe only at a C1/C2 level this might be interesting, but most learners don't go that far. Learning Dutch is already complicated enough, I think, haha. ;)

What about “het meisje”?

@annemariegeersing2577

5 жыл бұрын

All words ending on -je have 'het' before it, also 'het jongetje' (the boy). But: 'de meid' (singular of the girl, not very often used word) is de as well as 'de jongen'. Btw! Also most fruits/veggies are 'de' :-)

Het meisje is also an exception to the ‘de’ rule for people and proffesions

So, if we learn all the het words the "problem" is solved and one more exception is the "Het meisje". Thanks for the video!

Dankuwel

Thanks so much to have explained this one. I was going crazy! There is just a little thing, that maybe you forgot: "het meisje, het konijn".. over "het kind". About the "people". Can you please clear me this? Are them just other two exception, or there are more or what?

Meisje = het (It ends in '-je')

In the case of meisjes... would it be "de" too? (as you mentioned the plural is the dominant one).

Ik zag het al, ja. Bedankt voor je feedback! :) Ja, het is inderdaad lastig met die uitzonderingen. Ik behandel meestal alleen de meestgebruikte woorden en probeer dat een beetje in te schatten op B2 niveau, maar een grens is moeilijk te trekken en een echt complete lijst is geen beginnen aan. Allemaal overwegingen. ;) Maar als ze jouw opmerking lezen, weten ze deze woorden nu ook. :)

Het kind and het meisje are exceptions to the persons rule. Or you could see meisje as a -je word (diminutive). These are all HET. ;)

Yes, you could see it that way. Or you can remember that it is het because it ends in -je. As you wish. ;)

So far it's easy, but after 20 years I still wonder why the singular can't always be DE while the plural is, indeed. This applies to other languages like German or Russian, although Russian is very clear on the gender each noun belongs to. Nevertheless, over these 20 years I always say DE and only Het to the few words I learned.
