Introducing yourself: Welcome to this Dutch class in which you learn how to introduce yourself in Dutch. This class is all about learning how to introduce yourself in Dutch. Since it's probably going to be one of the first things you do when coming to the country, it's important to know how to do it right. That's why our first and most important goal is that you learn how to introduce yourself in Dutch. Besides that, you will learn some common greetings and ways of saying goodbye. And finally, you will learn how to use the verb zine, which means to be in the first person singular. Are you ready? Let's get started. Imagine this situation. You're walking down the street in the Netherlands and somebody stops you and asks you this question. Ben, Ben. This is a very common question. V B means, who are you. Now, this is the perfect occasion for you to introduce yourself in Dutch. But knowing how to introduce yourself requires knowing about the verb Zane, Zane means to be. Since we're going to be speaking about ourselves, we need to know how to say I. For saying I, we use Ik. I is Ik. If we combine the k with the verb zine in the first person, it becomes k Ben. Ik Ben is IN. Of course, k Ben is a very useful sentence if you want to introduce yourself. Just as in English, we use it a lot. Let's look at some examples where we use Ik Ben to introduce ourselves. We can say I Ben Chris. Here you see Ik Ben, I am and Chris is my name. Ik Benhris. That means I am Chris. You can use Ik Ben to say your name to somebody. But not just saying your name, you can do it with many other things as well. In Nederland Ben Nederland. For the English speaking people, this might be a little confusing. But we're actually talking about the nationality, Dutch. We say Nederland. This sentence, I Nederland translates to I am Dutch, which is true. I am really Dutch. And finally, another thing we can talk about using Ik Ben is I been es and Twine. If the numbers don't make sense to you yet, don't worry. We're going to get to that later on in the course, but this is just to give you an example of how you can introduce yourself. I Ben, es and Twin tech a. That means I am 26-years-old. But what is an introduction without a proper greeting? In Dutch, as in most other languages, there are several greetings we can use. So more formal and some more informal. Here we see two Dutch friends running into each other on the street. One might greet the other saying, hello. Hello is a very common greeting. It simply means hello. The other person responds with Hi. Hi is probably the most informal greeting we have. It is mainly used for greeting friends and family. It is equivalent to the English, hey, the more formal greetings are Hodendach and Hoden Dach means good day. You can use it throughout the day when greeting somebody in Holland. Her friends responds with Hud Morgen. Hud Morgen means good morning as in English, you can only use it in the morning. But what do you say when you want to greet somebody during the afternoon? Let's dive a little deeper into that. So as we learned, Huda Morge means good morning and is, of course, used in the morning. When you want to greet somebody during the afternoon, you use Hud Mira Houde Mira means good afternoon. In the evening, we use the greeting Hoden Avant. Hoden Avant means you guessed it. Good evening. When it's night, the Dutch greet each other with Hoden at. Hodenat means good night. As you can see, all these greetings are a combination of Hoden, which means good and a part of the day. For the extra attentive students, you can already pick out the part of the day Morgen Midach Avant, and Nat. Let's do a quick review to see if you have memorized the greetings for a part of the day. We start in the morning. Do you remember what you say to somebody in the morning? In the morning, we greet each other with Hud Morgen. Then it becomes afternoon. Do you remember how to greet somebody in Dutch in the afternoon? In the afternoon, we use Hud Mida Then the Mach has passed and it becomes evening. But how do you greet somebody in Dutch in the evening? By now, you're probably aware that we always use Houde. I also starts with Houde and ends with Avant Hoden Avant. Good evening. Finally, when the nighttime has begun, how do the Dutch greet each other? In the nighttime, we use the greeting Hudnat. Hudnat means good night. Have you memorized them all? And of course, we're not only going to learn how to greet people, we're also going to learn how to say goodbye. There are many ways of doing this. Let's look at some very common ones. The girl is heading off to school and she says Dui to her parents. Dui means Bye. Her mother responds with Tot Zenz. Tot Zenz is also a very common way of saying goodbye and it literally means until I see you again, equivalent of the English Su the father says, fine, da and fine da means have a nice day. Wishing somebody a nice day is a very common thing to do in the Netherlands, and it is appreciated when you do so. Let's do a recap of the information from this class. The topic of this class was introducing yourself in Dutch or as we say, Voor Stalin. The first thing we looked at was the question, Ben and V Ben meant, who are you? Then we introduced ourselves using Ik Ben using my real name, Ik Ben Kris, we learned how to introduce ourselves. I am Chris. But we didn't only learn how to introduce ourselves using our names. We also learned that you can state your nationality with Ik Ben, Ik Ben Nederlans, which means I am Dutch. But we could also state our age using Ik Ben. Ik Ben Zen, I am 26-years-old. We also looked at greetings or Brutingen, as we say in Dutch. The first ones we learned were hello, Hi and Hendach, very common greetings. Hello, hey, and good day. Then we learned some greetings that are specific to a part of the day Hud Morg Hud Mira, Hoden Avant, and Hudach. Meaning, good morning, good afternoon, good evening and good night. Finally, we learned how to say goodbye in Dutch using Tsin, Dui and fine Da the translations are, see you bye and have a nice day. Do you have all the information from this class in your head? Because now we're going to practice in old Dutch success, and that means good luck. Now, you're going to listen to a conversation in Old Dutch. There are a few words left out. First question to you is, do you understand the conversation you're about to listen to? The second question is, can you fill in the missing words Val success? Hue V been Hurndaikbn Cris, Ik Ben, Zeennjak been Nederland. Here's the first missing word. The question is, Ben. But the first word is missing. What is the word that should be filled in into the blank? The missing word is V. The question becomes V, Ben, who are you? V, Ben. Did you get it correctly? Let's see what she answers. Hello, another blank Ava, I been ch and Twinter another blank, g Bn Nadlons. As you can tell, there are two blank spaces in these sentences. The first one comes after the word k, and the other one comes after the word ch and Twinter. Which words should be filled in in these blank spaces? If you've listened carefully to my response to her question, you should be able to figure this out. Let's start with the first one. It Ava. She's introducing herself using her name. As we've learned, you use Ben. I, Ben, Ava, and the second, Ik Ben Ach and Twine, that's a number she's talking about being a certain number. Of course, she's talking about her age. The missing word when talking about your age is ya. Here are the answers. Hello, I been Ava, Ig Ben, Aten Tinter ya, Ig Ben Nederland. As you can see, Ben and Ya were the missing words. I hope you could follow the conversation and fill in the missing words. If not, you can play back the video or parts of it and see if you understand it a second time. Now, you're going to listen to me introducing myself in Dutch twice. One version is correct and one version contains a mistake. So listen carefully and see if you can figure out what the mistake was. Here comes introduction number one. TotensEgKris, a Nederland. Do and here comes introduction number two. Haris, gender Were you able to pick out which version was correct and which version contains the mistake? Here are the answers. Description number one on the left was wrong and description number two on the right was correct, maybe you were even able to pick out what the mistake was. The mistake in description number one on the left was that I used totins as a greeting and you don't start your introduction with it, you can end it with totins but you don't start it with totins. That's why introduction number one was incorrect and introduction number two was correct. What's better than practicing what you've learned in real life? Since this class was all about introducing yourself in Dutch, my suggestion to you is that you find somebody, a colleague, a friend or family member, and you introduce yourself to them in Dutch. I'm sure they will be impressed. Have fun with it. Let's see if you've reached all the goals. Our first and most important goal was that you learn how to introduce yourself in Dutch. Can you do that now? Secondly, we've learned some common greetings and ways of saying goodbye. Finally, we learned how to use the first person of the verb, Zing. Have you reached all your goals for this class? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 3. Family: Welcome to this Dutch class about one of the most important topics in life, family. This class is all about family. Our first and most important goal is that you learn to describe your family in Dutch. Secondly, you will learn how to use, which means, Zai, which means, and this is, which means this is. Lastly, we will look at a typically Dutch distinction, namely that between Jazin and famil. Are you ready? Let's get started. When speaking about our families in Dutch, we make a distinction that the English don't make. Our closest family, so our parents and siblings are called Jazin. The word family is used when talking about the entire family. So your parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Let's first speak about our Jazin. Here we see a family photo of hazin enjoying a summer holiday in the South of Europe, like most of us Duches do. But what do we call the family members in Dutch? Let's dive into that. The father is called Vader. The mother is called Moder. When speaking of the daughter, we use Dochter. But of course, she can also be your sister. In which case, we say this. On the right hand side, we see the son, the Zone. He is the Brer, the brother of the Zus the sister. Now, let's meet the rest of our Dutch family. First off, we have Oma. Oma means grandma. Right by our side is Opa. Opa is grandpa. The rest of the family is sitting on the ground behind them. On the left is our Dante Dante means aunt. Holding her is our nicht. Nicht means female cousin. When somebody says nicht, you know he's referring to a female cousin. Next to our nicht is our nap. Nav means male cousin. Our naf is holding our O means uncle. Now that we've met the entire family, it's time to learn how to talk about them. When describing your family members, you can use the sentence he Z is main. Hey means he and Z means she. When a family member is male, you use he is main. When she is female, you use Z is main. Mine means M. We're saying he or she is M. Let's speak about our family so you can see how it goes in real life. We start on the right with my father. If we describe him using that sentence, it's he is main father. Holding him is my sister. Because she's female, we use Z. Z is main Zeus. Next to her is my brother. Hey is main Brr. Finally, we see my mother on the left. Z is main Moder. Using hey or Z is main is a very common way to describe your family. There is another way of describing your family. When you don't specify if somebody is male or female, you can use dt is main. Did is main means this is M. You can use this sentence with all your family members. Let's now describe the family using the sentence dt is main. Did is main ather. D is main, this dt is main brrur. This is mine Mutter. Easy? You can choose whether you use hi or Zi is mine or this is mine. It doesn't matter which you choose. We're going to describe the rest of the family using both sentences, starting with Oma and OPA. Z is mine. Oma did is mine Opa. Now let's look at the rest of the family. Did is main Tante Z is main nicht. Ti is main Nav. Did is main m. As you can tell, both sentences are fine to use when describing your family. Let's do a recap of the information from this class. The first thing we looked at was our Jasin, which is our closest family. We learned that the members of our Jazin are called var, Moder, Zone, and doctor, father, mother, son and daughter. We also learned that when talking about our siblings, we use Zeus for sister and Brewer for brother. The sentence we learn to describe our family members is he of Zai is Min, meaning he or she is mine. Then we met the rest of our family in the second part of the class, the family. The first members we met were OMA, grandma, and OPA grandpa. Then the rest of the family, our Dante, our aunt, our home uncle, our Kaf is our male cousin, and our female cousin is called Nicht. Finally, we learned the sentence dt is mine when the gender of the person you're talking about is not specified. Dt is mine means this is mine. Do you have all the information from this class in your head? Because now you're going to look at an introduction of a family in Dutch to see if you have reached your goals for today. Feel success. That is main housin. That is main Zeus. He is main fader. Z is main oder, and that is main bru. Now, we're going to listen to me introducing my family in Dutch twice. One of the descriptions is correct, and the other one contains a mistake. Can you hear which is correct and which is not? Also, see if you can spot the mistake. Good luck, or as we say in Dutch, Val success. Here comes description number one. D is mine Jusin. He is my father. Zei is my Moder. Hey is my Brewer and Zai is mine Z and here's description number two. D is mine Zen. Ze is my father. He is mine Moder. Z is my Bur, and he is mine Zus. Were you able to pick out which description was correct and which one was incorrect? Maybe you were even able to tell what the mistakes were. Here come the answers. Description number one was correct and number two was incorrect. The mistake that was made in video number two is that I used Z, which means she to describe my father and brother. I used, which means he to describe my mother and my sister. What's nicer than some real life practice after the class? My suggestion to you is that you describe your family in Dutch so that way you can see if you've really aced this class. Feel success. Now let's check if you've reached all the goals. Our first and most important goal was that you learn to describe your family in Dutch. Can you do that now? Secondly, we learn how to use Hi, Zi and did is. Finally, our last goal is that you learn the difference between Jjin and famil. Have you reached all your goals? Thank you for learning with me today and I will see you in the next class. 4. Describing people: Welcome to this Dutch class in which we learn how to describe people. The topic of this video is describing people in Dutch. Our first and most important goal is the to learn to describe somebody in Dutch, mentioning their height, their hair, their gender, and their facial features. Secondly, we will learn to use the verb heaven, which means to have in the first, second, and third person. Are you ready? Let's get started. Let's start by learning about the face. The face is called Hedigt in Dutch. One of the first things you notice about somebody is usually heath. Ha means hair. Another striking feature of many people is wingbrawn or singular kbrow. Wengbraw means eyebrow. Another thing you probably notice about somebody's face is their ohenPlural On singular Och Oen are the eyes. In the center of somebody's face, you see the nose. The nose is the nose. In the case of this woman, you can't really tell. In my case, you can. I have two Oden. Oden means ears. You can tell this woman is happy because she's smiling with her Munt. Mont means mouth. Finally, a facial feature that this woman does not have, but that is important to know is the bat and the bat means beard. Those are all the facial features that you have to know in Dutch. In order to describe a person's appearance in Dutch, we use the verb heaven and heaven means to have. The first person singular of heaven is hep. Ik hep means I have in Dutch. The second person singular is ya. In combination with the verb heaven it becomes ya heed meaning you have. The third person is he of Ze, he or she. Hey of Zahid. Meaning he or she has. To give you an idea of what this looks like in real life, I have a few examples where sentences are made using the verb heaven. First of all, I, heap nose. I heap nose. Meaning, I have a nose. Second one. Ya heed Oden. Ya heed Orden. Meaning you have ears. The third example. He head Ohm. Had Ohm. Meaning he has eyes. Of course, when describing somebody, it is not enough to simply say he or she has eyes. We're going to learn some Dutch adjectives so we can give a more accurate description of somebody's appearance. Let's look at this man. He has court Dunker maybe you can already guess it based on the picture, but what do you think Kurt Dunkeh means? T DunkerHair means short dark hair. Now let's look at his eyes. This man has brown on, you can probably guess it. Brown means brown eyes. We can also see that the man has Donk bat Donk bat. We've seen the word Dunker before when we were describing the hair. Donk bat means a dark beard. Now let's bring everything we've learned together. The facial features, the verb Haben, and the adjectives, and let's describe this man's appearance. Hey, hit, court DonkeH Brawen and Donke bad. That was a full description in Dutch of the appearance of this man. Of course, not everybody looks exactly like this man. Let's take another example of somebody with quite different facial features and see how we describe her. Here she is. As you can tell, the hair is very different. So we use different adjectives to describe her hair. For her, we would say long blond hair. Looking at the picture, you can probably guess that long blond hair means long blond hair. Another difference she has with the man are her eyes. She has blow, oh as you can probably tell, that means blue eyes. She has blown on, just like me. Another difference in her appearance is that she has no beard. But how do you say that in Dutch? No beard. We say it like this. In bad. The word chain in this situation means no beard. Chain bad. Now let's bring all the information together to describe her appearance in Dutch. Zi hf, Long blond hair, Blower On, and in bad. Another time, Zi heft. Long blond hair, blow on, and in bad. Another thing to mention when describing somebody is their height Leng te means height in Dutch. Since the Dutch are some of the tallest people in the world, you're probably going to be using the word lang a lot and lang means tall. Myself, I'm 190 tall and I do not stand out in the country, so lang tall is a word you're going to be using a lot when describing Dutch people. To us, a lot of people are Kurt and Kort means short. The final thing we're going to look into is the gender of the person you're describing. When speaking about a man, we use the same word as in English, but the pronunciation is slightly different. The Dutch pronounce it as Man. Man means man. When speaking about a woman, we use the word rau. Vrau means woman. For younger people, we use different words. A boy is called an Yongan and a girl is called Misha. Yongan means boy and Misha means girl. Let's do a recap of the information from this class. The topic of this class was describing people in Dutch or as we say, non Breven. The first thing we looked at was Heth sich, the face. We looked at some facial features like he ha, the hen, the nose, the Monte, the Oren and the Bart. Then we learned some adjectives to use when describing somebody's hair. Somebody can have blonde hair, meaning blonde hair, or Duncaha meaning dark hair. Then we looked at adjectives to describe somebody's eyes. Somebody can have brown O, meaning brown eyes or blow, meaning blue eyes. Then we learned about the verb Haben and Haben means to have in Dutch. We learned about this verb in the first, second, and third person, being a heap, yeah Hi and Zi have I have you have, he and she has. Then we learned the adjectives long, meaning tall and art meaning short. Finally, we learned about the gender of somebody using man for man, Frau for woman, Jungen for boy, and Misa for girl. Do you have all the information from this class in your head? Because now we are going to look at an old Dutch description to see if you have reached the goals of this class. Val success. I'm going to describe a person in Dutch. See if you can form a mental image of this person. Z is Frau. Zai had long blond hair, Blau hen, and in Bart. Were you able to form a mental image of this person in your head? This is what she might look like. Does she match the mental image that you had in your head? If not, you can play back the video or parts of it and see if you can understand it a second time. Now, we're going to listen to me describing this person twice in Dutch. One description is correct, and the other contains a mistake. My questions to you are, which one is correct, and what is the mistake in the other one? Vail success. Here comes description number one. Hi is a Newman, high head brown organ and long blond hair. And here comes description number two. Hi is nun. Hi heft brown O and court dunker hag. Were you able to pick up which one was correct and which one was incorrect? Also, were you able to find the mistake? Here come the answers. Description number one was wrong. The mistake that was made was that I said the guy has long blond hair, so long blond hair, which he does not. The second description was correct because I used court Dunkerhair short dark hair. If you want to practice describing people in Dutch a little bit more, I have some suggestions for you. First, you can describe your own appearance in Dutch and once you've done that, you can describe the appearance of a friend, a family member, or a famous celebrity, also in Dutch. Have fun or as we say in Dutch, Ville please. Have you reached all the goals? Our first and most important goal was that you learn to describe somebody in Dutch, mentioning their height, their hair, their gender, and their facial features. Our second goal was that you learn how to use the verb heaven, which means to have in the first, second and third person. Have you reached all the goals? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 5. Food and drinks: Welcome to this Dutch class about food and drinks. The topic of this class is food and drinks. Our first and most important goal is that you know the names of common foods and drinks in Dutch. Our second goal is that you learn how to use the verb Aten, which means to eat and drinking, which means to drink in the first, second and third person. Finally, we look at the three meals of the day in Dutch, which are Ombte, lunch and Dina and you learn when to use which. Are you ready? Let's get started. The first meal of the day is called uns Beit in Dutch. Unt Beit means breakfast. Many people start their day with a coffee. In Dutch, coffee is also pronounced coffee, but it's written differently. Besides our coffee, we eat bananas. The main part of our breakfast consists of bro. Bot means bread, and we eat it a lot. Some people also enjoy a glass of milk in the morning. Milk means milk. There are many similarities between English and Dutch. You will notice this right away when talking about lunch because we also call it lunch. But also the names of a lot of foods and drinks are similar, as you will see. First of all, we get ourselves a Tay and Tai means T. To add some fruit, we decide to take an Apple. Apple means, you guessed it, Apple. Our main food for this lunch is pasta, which is the same word as in English and Italian. Pasta is pasta. Next to our plate is a glass of vat. It's written the same as in English, but the pronunciation is a bit different. Var means ter. Most people in the Netherlands have dinner at 6:00 Sharp. Dinner is called Dina in Dutch. It's pronounced so differently because we stole the word from the French. Dena is a frequently cooked dinner is called a Vj, which stands for tipless Hunten meaning potatoes, meat, vegetables. We are going to see an example of an ave g here in front of us. On the left, we see dips, our potatoes. Next to it are the ten the vegetables. Our meat is i so Kip means chicken. As a snack, we take a piece of gas. Gas means cheese. When speaking about food and drinks, there are two important verbs to use. The first one is Aten, and Aten means to eat. This might confuse you because Aten in Dutch also means food. It's a word with a double meaning. It can either be the verb to eat or the noun food. Thankfully, the verb itself, Aten is very, very easy to conjugate. Let's start with the first person. Ik eight. IC eight means I eat or I am eating. The second person is yi yi eight, you eat or you are eating, Yi Eight. The third person is also Hi of Zai eight, the same all the way through. Hi of Zai eight, of course, means he or she eats or he or she is eating. Very simple. Let's look at some examples where we use Aten in a sentence. Ik ate banan. I ate banan, meaning I eat or I am eating a banana. Ik ate banan. Another example. Hi ate Hrunten. Can you guess what this means? Hi eight Hrunten? You've seen it before. Hi eight Hrunten means he eats vegetables or he is eating vegetables. The man, you see, is actually doing what the example says, Hi eight Hrunten. The other important verb to use when speaking about eating and drinking, so food and drinks is the verb drinking and drinking means to drink. In the first person, so the Ik form, as we say, Ik drink. I drink or I am drinking is Ik drink. The second person, ya, yea drink drink or you are drinking. Yea drink and the third person, hi of Zi, he or she, Hi of Zi drink. He or she drinks or is drinking. Now let's look at some examples where drinking is used in a sentence in combination with a food or a drink. Well, of course, a drink in this case. The first example when speaking about yourself, Ik drink Vater and that looks like this. And that means I drink or I am drinking water, k, drink water. Another example, Zi drink, T. What do you think this means? You've seen it before. You've seen the verb, you've seen the name of the beverage, Zi drink, T. It means she drinks tea. As you can see, the woman in well, it looked like a photo, but it is a video. The woman in the video is doing exactly that Zarin te. When she finishes her sip, she says, Liquor, quor is a word you're going to hear for sure when you're visiting the Netherlands. Either when somebody is eating or when somebody is drinking something, they say quer and they might make this gesture as well. It means that the food or the drink tastes good. So a very common word, lacquer and the gesture, it means it tastes good. If you want to say what you are having for breakfast, lunch or dinner, so bite lunch of Dina, you use this structure. I eight, punt punt punt and punt punt punt simply means dot, dot, dot. IgeatePunt pin puntos t Bite. That means I eat dottFo breakfast. As you can see, the Als in Dutch means four in English. If you say ls und Bite, you're saying four breakfast. This structure stays the same even when the verb changes or the meal changes. You can also speak about what you drink for lunch or what you drink with your dinner with the same structure. It goes like this. Ich drink. Punt punt punt. As lunch. Now we're not talking about what we're eating for breakfast. We're talking about what we're drinking for lunch. I drink dot for lunch. Now let's combine everything we've learned and speak about the meal we're about to see on the screen using the full sentences. We have this and this and this. Let's describe this using full sentences. I eight broad and bananas und Bite. This means I eat bread and bananas for breakfast. As you can see in the example, you see the bread and the bananas. The way to talk about that in a full sentence is Ikeate broad and banana As und Bite. We're not only eating in this breakfast, we're also drinking something. Let's see how we speak about that. Ich drink milk and coffee on debit. It's still our breakfast on the bait. But now we're describing what we are drinking. I drink milk and coffee for breakfast. Let's do a recap of the information from this class. The topic of the class was food and drinks in Dutch, eating and drinking. The first thing we looked at were the three meals of the day on bite, lunch, and Dina being breakfast, lunch, and dinner, unbite, lunch and Dn. The second thing we looked at were some typical foods that you can eat as und bite. For breakfast, t bite. Milk, broad, banana, Coffee, milk, bread, bananas and coffee. Then we looked at some typical foods that you eat for lunch. Te var, pasta, Apple. Here we really saw a lot of similarities with the English language because they mean tea, water, pasta, and apple. Finally, we looked at a typically Dutch dinner. Dina consisting of a g artiples flas our food of choice for the meat was Kip and our side dish was as. Adipose means potatoes, vegetables mean Hunte. Kip means chicken and as means cheese. Then we learned the two most important verbs when speaking about food and drinks at and drinking, and the verbs are actually also called Aten and drinking. Aten means to eat and drinking means to drink. Finally, we learned how to speak about what you eat or what you drink for a certain dish. Ig eight, and then you name the product or the dish, ls, and then you name the meal. I eight, punt, s on the bet, for example. I eat dot dot dot for breakfast. Do you have all the information from this class in your head? Because now we're going to look at an old Dutch conversation to see if you've really reached the goals of this class. Hello. I eight Ardips and give s DN I eight, gas alls, snack. Hi, I ate pasta, and an apple. As lunch, Ik drink Vater, and Coffee. Todd Zenz did you understand the entire conversation? If so, great work. If not, you can play back the video or parts of the video. Come back and see if you understand it the second time. Now, we are going to listen to me describing what I had for breakfast in Dutch twice. One version is correct, and the other version contains mistakes. My question to you is, which one is correct and which one contains mistakes? And maybe you can even pick up what the mistakes were. Let's listen to description number one. Hello. Ich Ben Chris. Ik ate Water and Ig drink broad so Bite. Tosins And here comes description number two. Hello. Ich MKris. Ikeate broad and Ik drink water. As bite. Totens. Were you able to pick out which was correct and which was incorrect? Maybe you even picked out what the mistakes were. Let's go to the answers. Description number one was incorrect. The mistake that was made is that I said, Ik drink Bot and Ik ate Vater. The verbs were mixed up. I said, I drink, Bot, I drink bread, and Ik ate vatter I eat water. Of course, number two was correct. There I said Ik ate Bot and k drink vatter. I was correct. If you want to practice what you've learned in this class a little more, here's my suggestion. You can describe everything you eat in a day in Dutch. Of course, you can make it simply a list, but how nice is it if you use the structure that you've learned in this class? For example, you could say, Ig eight, broad bite, et cetera, if you eat bread as breakfast. Val success. Now let's check if you've reached all the goals. Our first goal was that you can name common foods and drinks in Dutch. Secondly, you've learned about the two most important verbs when talking about food, Aten, which means to eat and drinking, which means to drink, and we learned about using them in the first, second, and third purse. Lastly, we learned about the different meals on the bite, lunch, and Dina and now you should be able to know when to use which. Have you reached all the goals for this class? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 6. Counting: Welcome to this class in which we learn how to count in Dutch. The topic of this class is counting. The way we count has some similarities as well as some differences to the way the English do it. Our first goal of this video is that you learn how to count to 20 in Dutch. Secondly, you will learn the structure of counting to 100. We're not going to memorize all the numbers up to 100, but seeing the structure at least makes it easier to understand how to do it. Lastly, you respond to the question, Hu veil and uveal means how much or how many. Are you ready? Let's get started. Let's start by counting 0-10. Zero is null in Dutch. One is an. Two is. Three is dri four is V. Five is waive. Now you know how to count 0-5 null A dri via now let's count 6-10. Six is Z. Seven is Zaven. Eight is art. As you can see, the C and the H together here sound like a strong G t. Nine is Negan. And ten is Tin. Here come six to ten in Dutch, es, even, art, Merin, ten. Now we will count 10-15. The reason we count 10-15 is that these numbers are exceptions to the normal pattern of counting. From 15 up, all the numbers follow a pattern. But 0-15, they have to be memorized. 11 is 12 is 12. It 13 is Der tin and 14 is Firtin. Once again, 12, ertin counting 15-20 follows a pattern. It's always a combination of the last digit plus the number ten. Look at this example. Vive is five and ten is ten, 15 is a combination of those two numbers. Vive plus ten makes Vive ten. You simply put them together, V ten. It works the same way with all the numbers up to 20. 16 is simply a combination of z and t. So if we put those together, it becomes zestin. Pretty easy, right? Now that we know the pattern of counting 15-20, let's count the numbers. Ten, ten, Zaventin. Maybe you can guess this one. It's httin. Combination of Acht eight and 1010. Ngentin. 15 to 20 is ften Zestin Zaventin Achten and Ngentin. Of course, we need to know what 20 is. It's somewhat similar to the English 20. But we say TwinchTwinech. That's how you count 15-20. Now we can already count 0-20 in Dutch from Nur to Twine. The numbers 20-100 all follow a pattern as well. For example, 25 is a combination of the number five and the number 20. It works the same way in Dutch. If we put together and Twine, we get the number Vive and Tinter. As you can hear, it's not waive Twinter No, it's Vive N Twinter. We say five and 20 if you literally translate it. Vive is five, N is N. Twinter is 20, Vive and Twinter. We don't write them separately though, we write them as one word like this, Wave and Twin, five and 20. And that's how all the counting up to 100 is done in Dutch. Let's look at another example. Acht means eight. Zsch is 60. Putting them together, we get at N Zest. We add the N, just as in the previous example, Acht and Zestch eight and 60 as with any number, we write them together, Acht and ZestchOcht and Zestch means eight and 60 or 68. This is how it worked with all the numbers up to 100. Here we see the freshly formed FC Dutch daily. Every player has been assigned a number. I'm going to count them from left to right. See if you can count along so you can practice the pronunciation of the numbers. Our first player is number number. Next to him is numer Zaventin number 17, number eventin. And here comes the tricky one. Player numer Dre and twnter. We add the double dots on the second E, so it doesn't get confusing when you pronounce it Dre and twnter. Next to him is Number Wertin the football number ertin is very significant in Holland because that was the number that our legendary footballer Johan Krav wore on his jersey. Ertin is an important number in football in Holland. Next to him is number Zaven next to Number, Zaven is number Dr Then we have number Zestin. Here you see the combination of Z and Zestin. Then we have number A and winter one and 20, A and twin. And next to him number vive. Then the keepers usually wear numer AN. Number AN is the keeper. Then we have number ten. Those are the numbers in Dutch a common question related to counting is u v and u v means how much or how many. We don't differentiate between countable and uncountable. In both cases, you use the word uveal. Now let's look at some examples where the question uveal is used. Hu ve apples. As you might remember from the class about food, apples are apples. How many apples is uve apples? Well, let's see them. A, How do we say this? I count A, er, apples. We can answer apples. Of course, meaning four apples. Another example, who fill apples and banana. That means how many apples and bananas? Oh, there are two bananas. A, we Tw banana. Now when we answer, we can say er apples and twe banana. Er apples and twe banana. Of course, meaning four apples and two bananas. Let's do a recap of the information from this class. First, we learned how to count from zero null to 15 Vive ten. The reason we started with that is that from zero, null to 15, it has to be memorized. The first number is null A drier, event Nn so that's null to 100 to ten. Yeah, those have to be memorized. Then we cut up the part 10-20 and first we looked at ten to 15. Ten Totten ten to 15. The reason we did that is because Teen tout 15 also have to be memorized. There's no pattern to it. It goes like this. L 12, Vertin Waive ten. Vine is actually the first one that does follow the pattern of the number plus ten. Vive five. Ten is ten, so ive tin. Moving on, we learned how to count from basically five teen up until 100. Five teen taught 100. Well, we didn't learn all the numbers because that would be a very long class, but we learned how to do it in which structure. Counting from 51015 to win 20 already follows a certain pattern. Z 106 and ten, Zaven seven and ten, Zee and T t win 20 is Twin. Then we learned that counting from 20 up to 100 also follows a pattern where the last digit is mentioned first, then the word N is used, and then the rest of the number. For example, Vive and Twin is 255 and 20, if you translate it. Vive and Twin another example we looked at is, we didn't look at this one yet, but art and Twinter again, a combination of art and Tinter eight and 20, art and TwinterO another one Ver and if four and 50, er and fif or and fiv. The more you see this, the more it will start to make sense. You take the last digit, you add N, and then the first one Z and fift. Finally, we looked at the question hu Vl, which means how much or how many. In both cases, we use the same word u vel. You can use Hu ville and add apples, banana or anything you want to ask how many or how much. Do you have all the information from this class in your head? Because now we are going to practice with some real life examples to see if you have understood how to count in Dutch Val success. You're going to see a roll of the dice. See if you can tell in Dutch which numbers are on the screen. The number on the left is F, and the number on the right is AN. Did you get them both correct? Now we are going to crack a code in Dutch. You'll see the numbers appear in order on the pad, and I will be reading the code that appears on the pad. One of the codes that I read is correct, and the other one is wrong. See if you can spot which code is correct and where I read the code wrongly. Here comes code description number one. The code is even art. And here comes code description number two. The code is T Men Art. Were you able to pick out which code was the correct one and which one was incorrect? Let's look at it together. The code was an t. In the video description on the left, I said, Zant In the description on the right, I said, Today, Neng. The code on the left was correct and the code on the right was incorrect. Were you able to crack the code? If so, great work. You've really understood the numbers in Dutch. If not, you can play back the video or parts of it, practice some more with the counting and see if you can follow the code a second time. What's nicer than some real life practice after the class? Since numbers are everywhere around us, this week's practice is that you can maybe say your phone number in Dutch or count the amount of wraps you do in the gym in Dutch, or maybe you can count the numbers on your receipt in Dutch. Have fun with it. Feel success. Et's see if you've reached all the goals. Our first goal was that you can count 20 in Dutch. Can you do that now? Our second goal was that you understand the structure of counting to 100. Finally, we learn how to respond to the question, uveal, which means how much or how many. Have you reached all your goals? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 7. Clothing: Welcome to this Dutch glass, which has all to do with clothing. The topic of this class is clothing. Our first and most important goal is that you learn how to describe what you or somebody else is wearing in Dutch. Then we learn how to use the verb Dragn which means to wear. Finally, we learn about sizes in Dutch. We learn how to say if something is big or small. Are you ready? Let's get started. Now you're going to see some common clothing items and their Dutch names. We start with an easy one. Head shirt. Shirt shirt. Then we have Rim means belt. We have an brook Brook means pants, and then we have Korte Book. Korte, as you might remember from the class about describing people means short. Art Brook literally means short pants or shorts. Then when you have business to attend to, you wear puck and puck means suit. Finally, where would we be without our Shonin? Shonin means shoes. Let's review the clothing items from left to right, starting with head shirt, the m, the Bok the Core Bruch head puck, and the Shonin. Of course, those weren't all of them. Let's look at some more items and their names starting on the left. This is an YurkYuk means dress. Did is rock, rock means skirt. Did zine Zine, of course, plural of to be. Did zine hen, and Hen are heels. Did zine also plural because there are two today. Did zine sockin socks. Did is yes and yes means jacket. Let's review these starting with Yurik. Did is in YurkTi is a rock. Did sign Hagen, did sign Socon and this is a yes. When describing what somebody is wearing in Dutch, we use the verb Drach and Drachn means to wear. When describing what you yourself are wearing, we use the form crack Drach means I am wearing or I wear. Then the second person, singular. Yeah. Ya drag. You wear or you are wearing. Third person. Hi of Zai Drach he or she wears or is wearing. Let's look at some examples of conversations where Drach the verb Drachn to wear is used. Ik Drach shirt, and Brook and Shunen. The man is talking about what he is wearing using the verb, Drachen in the first person, singular Ik Drach He says, I am wearing a shirt, pants and shoes. Of course, we can also look at what somebody else is wearing, and here she comes. Now, the man wants to describe what she is wearing. And as you might remember from earlier classes, she is Zai. So he uses Zai Dracht. Let's look at the example. Zai Dracht and Yurk and Hagen. So a short sentence, Zai referring to she Drach is wearing Yurik is a dress, and Hagen are heels. The full sentence in English, she is wearing a dress and heels. She might respond saying dot, lobbed that simply means that's right. She's confirming by saying dot clopped. When describing clothing, it's also important to mention matin and matin mean sizes. Let's look at a pair of shoes to describe the mat. This pair of shoes is rot and Hrot means big. The other pair of shoe are Klein and Klein means small. So hot means big and Klein means small. Now, let's make a sentence using rot and Klein. These hunenHrot these ShuneninHot. Das Shunen means these shoes. Zein is the plural of the verb to be chroot means big as we've just learned. The full sentence in English, these shoes are big. Now let's make a sentence using Klein. Dass Hunan, Zein, Klein. Dass Hunan, meaning these shoes. Zein meaning the plural of to be and Klein as we've just learned, meaning small. The full sentence in English, these shoes are small. Besides making sentences, we can also use Hrot and Klein as adjectives. We just add an E. As you can see in this example, rot ShunenHrot Shunen we add the E to the adjectives. As you can see, just as in English, we put the adjective in front of the noun. Hrot Shunen means big shoes. The other shoes are small and if we want to make an adjective, we once again add the E. Klanunen No Klein Shunen but Klahunen meaning small shoes. Let's bring all the information from this class together. Zai drat rot shirt. The verb dran is in there. The adjective rot is in there and shirt as a clothing item. Zatrot shirt means she is wearing a big shirt. She is wearing a big shirt. Now let's look at another example where we use all the information from the class. ZaratKlin shirt. The only word that changed is road shirt to Klein shirt. We're saying Zai Dracht she is wearing a Klein shirt, small shirt. She is wearing a small Shirt. Let's do a recap of all the information from this class. The topic of this class was clothing or clading as we say in Dutch. First thing we looked at were some common items of clothing in Dutch, shirt, Core Bruch Rim pack and Shunen English translation, shirt, pants, shorts, belt, suit, and shoes. Then we looked at some other pieces of clothing, namely Yerk rock, Hagen, soken and Yas being dress, skirt, heels, socks, and jacket. Then we learned about the verb Drachen which means to wear. In the other part of the class, we looked at matin and that means sizes in Dutch. The first two words we learned were Hrot to describe big and Klein to describe small. Rot means big and Klein means small. Then we learned how to make a sentence describing the size of an item of clothing. For example, these Shunen in Hrot meaning these shoes are big. We also learned how to use Hrot and Klein as adjectives. For example, chunen mean big shoes. Do you have all the information from this class in your head? Because now we are going to practice with some exercises in Old Dutch to see if you've reached the goals of this class. Val success. In this practice, you will see four items of clothing appear on the table. See if you can name them in Dutch. Here come the answers. The first item on the left is yes, or as we can say in a Dutch sentence, this is an yes. Did is an R D is Korte Brock and D Zein Schulen. Did you get them all correct? If so, great job. If not, you can pause the video and rewatch parts of it to see if you can get it a second time. Now, you're going to listen to me describing what these two people are wearing in Dutch. See if you can understand the entire description. Hydracht and shirt, rim Bruck and Shonin. Zdrach yes, a shirt, rock, and Shunen. Were you able to understand the entire description? If so, great job. If not, maybe you can practice by playing back the video or parts of it and see if you understand it the second time. Now, you're going to listen to me describing items of clothing in Dutch twice. One version is correct, and the other one contains a mistake. My question to you is, can you figure out which description is correct? And also, maybe you can figure out what the mistake is in the other one. Val success. Here comes description number one. Hello. Ek Ben Kris. Did is mine shirt. Did sign Scan. And D is Scrol And here comes description number two. Hello. Ich Benkris. Did is a Rock Di is Ancora Brook and DisgHken. Were you able to pick out which one was correct and which one was incorrect, and maybe even the mistake that was made? Here come the answers. Description number one was correct. Description number two was incorrect because I described my shirt as a rock, which is a skirt. I described my socks as Gore Bruch which are short, and I describe my shoes as heels which are Hocken in Dutch. What's nicer than some real life practice after the class? Since this class was on clothing, of course, you can go to your closet and see if you can name as many items as possible in Dutch. For practicing with the verb Dragen, maybe you can describe what you are wearing right now. Then you can also go to the mall and see if you can name as many items as possible in Dutch. Have fun with it. Now let's see if you've reached all the goals. Our first goal was that you can describe what somebody or yourself is wearing in Dutch. Can you do that now? Secondly, we've learned about the verb Drachn which means to wear. And finally, we learned about sizes, Hrot Klein and also how to use them as adjectives, Hrot and Klein. Have you reached all your goals for this class? Thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 8. Transportation: Welcome to this Dutch class, which has all to do with transportation. The topic of this class is transportation. We're going to take a trip through the Netherlands, as well as through Amsterdam using different modes of transport. Our first goal is that you can describe a trip in Dutch. Secondly, you will learn the names of the different modes of transport in Dutch. Finally, you will learn about two verbs that are related to traveling. The first one Namen, which means to take and Raisin which means to travel. Are you ready? Let's get started. Here, you're going to see some commonly used modes of transport. We're going to learn their names one by one, starting with the Auto. Auto means car. Then we have the Bus. The same word as in English, but we pronounce it as Bus. The bus is the bus. Then there's the train, also quite similar, but a little different in the pronunciation and the way of writing. Train is a train, and lichTh one might be a little difficult to pronounce. The I and the E together are pronounced as an E and the G is pronounced as a strong Glchtuch that means airplane. So let's review them once more. We have the Auto, this is mbus.Th is the Trine and this is at Flchtau. Of course, those weren't all of them. Since the Netherlands is the cycling capital of the world, we can't forget about the fits. Fitz is a bike and that's something you're going to see for sure when you come to the Netherlands and Ft. Then there is the Trem the Tm, you can probably guess it is the tram. Finally, the underground or the metro is also called Metro in Dutch. Let's review them one more time. The feeds, this is Trem and this is the matro. There are two verbs that you often use when speaking about transportation in Dutch. The first one is Namen and Namen means to take. In the first person, as you might remember, the first person, singular is Ik. So it becomes IC name, I take. IC name is I take. The second person is yi yi named. We add a T to the end, ya named. That of course means take. Then the third person, hi of Zi Hi of Zi named. The same as the Upon Hi of Zi named means he or she takes. Now let's look at an example of the other verb. Raisin and sin means to travel. So using sin in the first person, so the IC becomes C is, that means I travel. The second person, yi yi, raised. Once again, adding the T, yi, raised, travel. The third person, Hi of Zi Hi of Zi raised. It's the same as the U form. Hi of Zi raised, he or she travels. Now let's make some examples where we use the verbs rising to travel and naming to take. First example, high named the feats. I think you should be able to figure out what this means. Also because you're being helped by the picture. High named the feet. What would that mean? High named defeat. Let's look at it together. High named is the verb to take and high is the form, the third purse. He takes the bike. If you want to say that he takes the bike, you say high named defeats. Now, let's make an example using the verb sin. I Rise pair train. So Ik, you've heard that before. You've heard Rs before. Pair train. You know what train is also when you look at the picture, pair is a new word. Pair is what you use when you want to say I travel buy. Pair is B. Well, now we know what the whole sentence means, but here's the English translation Anyways, I travel by train. IksPairTran means I travel by train. You can use this for any mode of transportation. When you want to say that you are traveling from one place to another, you use Van and na. Van means and nar means to an NA. Let's make an example of traveling from one place to the next in Dutch. Let's start in my own hometown of Utrecht. And we want to travel to our capital Amsterdam. Traveling from Utrecht to Amsterdam can be described in the following way. Ich Reis Utrecht, Amsterdam. With all the context you have, you can probably guess what this means, but I'll still give you some time. Cis Utrecht, N Amsterdam. This means I travel from Utrecht to Amsterdam. When you want to say that you are going from one place to the next, you simply use the words a from and N for two. Now we're going on a trip through Amsterdam. We've selected er, four, we've selected er highlights we want to see. Our first highlight is Museum plane. Museum plane means Museum square. It's a square with a bunch of museums around it, the most famous one Reg Museum. Then after that, we would like to visit the city Zoo Artis Deren Town Artis. Deren are animals, Town is garden and Artis is simply the name. We say literally Animal garden Artis, which of course translates to the Artist Zoo. When we've seen all the animals, we want to see the neighborhood the Jordan and the Jordan. Well, it doesn't really translate. It comes from the river Jordan, the name, but it's simply a very nice neighborhood, very authentic. We're going to visit the Jordan then finally, we want to see heat Central Statham, the central station of Amsterdam. We're going to travel to Artis using the Tram IcarsFunded Museum plain, not Artis pair prem. See if you can figure out what this sentence means. Here comes the English translation. I travel from the Museum square to Artis by tram. Then we've had our fun in the Zoo and we're going to go to the Jordan. Let's see which mode of transport we choose. Ich named Dimetro Artis de Jordan. See if you can figure out what this means. It means I take the Metro from Artis to the Jordan. Now our day in Amsterdam is coming to a close, we take the bike to Centra Sahu. Ick named the feeds the Jordan, Nar head Stat hum. See if you can figure out what this sentence means. Ick named defeats, fun the Jordan, Nar headstacho. It means I take the bike from the Jordan to the station. Some people seem to be unaware of this, but there is a lot more to visit in the Netherlands than just the city of Amsterdam. We are going to go on a trip through the country, again, using different modes of transport. We start up at lichfeld based on the picture, what do you think lichfeld means? Lichfeld means airport. We start our trip up Flchfelt Schiphol. Then we want to see some big cities in the country. These ones. Now we are going to see a sentence about the four cities of the Netherlands. It goes like this. See if you can figure out what it means. Nederland, Haft, er rote You might remember the verb haved from Haben from one of the earlier classes where we learned that Haben means to have. HFT means has. You might remember the number four from the class on counting. Four is Ver. You might remember the word rote from the class on clothing, where we learned that Grote is an adjective used to say big. And Maderland is the country the Netherlands. Now we know almost what all the words mean except for Staden. But maybe you can guess what Staden are based on the pictures you see on your screen. So the whole sentence together means the Netherlands has four big cities. That's what we were talking about. Nederland heft Figo to stay. The Netherlands has four big cities. Let's name the cities you know how to pronounce their names. Den ha Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and utrecht. Now let's look at another sentence that describes our trip through the country. I siphon trechEunhnh utrecht. What do you think this sentence means? All the information in this sentence can be learned in this class. Ich Ris comes from the verb Risen which means to travel. Ick Reis is the first person singular, I travel. Van means from and Ship, as you can see in the picture, is the airport. I travel from Shripo airport NR, which means to Utrecht. The whole sentence, I travel from Ship to Utrecht. Now that we know all the places we're going to visit, let's start our journey. See if you can understand the sentences in Dutch before the translation appears. I Rs, Na ship hole, per lichtOce again, k s na, Skip hole, B lichta What do you think this means? It means I travel to Schiphol by airplane. That's our first stop. Our plane lands on ligeld Schiphol. Then the second leg of our journey. Then ha you saw the mode of transport that was used. You know from which place we're going and to which place we're going. Maybe you can already form the sentence in your head. I'll give you some time for that now. Here it comes. Ick name the Autoonn Dn. Once again, IC name the Auto Shih n then maybe you choose the other option, which is also perfectly fine. You could have said Icon siphon then per Auto. Also perfectly fine. You can use both interchangeably. It doesn't really matter which, but the translation of the sentence that's on the screen is the following. I take the car from ship to Dn ha let's look at the next part of our journey. We're going to see the modern city of Rotterdam. This is the mode of transport we're going to use. What is a sentence you could form to describe this part of the journey? In this case, you could choose C is an Dn hana Rotterdam, pair train. Our mode of transport was train. In this case, we use CR, but we could have used Igname as well, and then the sentence would be Ic Name, the train on DnanRotodam. Also perfectly fine. But we choose k is on then ha, N Rotterdam, pair train. That means I travel from then ha to Rotterdam by train. Well, since we liked our capital so much, we want to visit it again and we take this mode of transport. What is a sentence you could form to describe this part of the journey? Well, by now, you probably aware that you can use both forms and you could, for example, say, I name the Bus, Rotterdam, N Amsterdam. Once again, Ic name the Bus, Rotterdam n Amsterdam, or the other option, cis, Rotterdam Amsterdam pair Bus Also perfectly fine. But the translation of the sentence on the screen is, I take the bus from Rotterdam to Amsterdam. Of course, we want to end up in my opinion, the most beautiful one out of them all, but that's of course because I live there, trecht. So let's see the mode of transport, and maybe you can already figure out what the sentence should be. Comes an example of a sentence you could have made. Ik is Van Amsterdam Utrecht, per Auto. Once again, Ickes Van Amsterdam, N Utrecht, per Auto. Of course, the other version you could have chosen was Ik name the Auto, Von Amsterdam, Nautrech. But the translation of the sentence that's on the screen is as follows. I travel from Amsterdam to trecht by car. Et's do a recap of the information from this class. The topic of this class was transportation or Vervur as we say in Dutch. The first thing we looked at were some modes of transport that are commonly used like auto, lichta bus and train. Meaning car, airplane, bus and train. Then we saw one that is close to our hearts, me, especially the feets, the Tram and the Metro. The feeds is the bike, the tram is the tram and the Metro is the Metro. Then we learned about the verb Namen, which means to take. Speaking about modes of transport, you can use Namen, for example, g name, and then you say the mode of transport. The other important verb we talked about is raisin, which means to travel. Then we learned about an NR and Van means from NR means to. When you want to describe going from one place to the next, you use Van and NR. Then another word we used was pair you put it in front of the mode of transport you're using to say that you are using that mode of transport. It translates to buy, for example, per Auto means buy car. Then we put all the information together into a big sentence, Igs n Amsterdam per train. That means I travel from Utrecht to Amsterdam by train. Do you have all the information from this class in your head? Because now we're going to practice in all Dutch Val success. You're going to see the modes of transport appear on the screen. See if you can name them all in Dutch. Let's start on the left hand side with the light blue vehicle. This is called an auto in Dutch. Then next to it, we have the bus. Right next to the bus is the train and flying overhead is HedFlchtach. Did you get them all correctly? Now let's practice with the other one. Let's start with the mode of transport on the left. This is called feats and next to it is a typical Amsterdam example. This is an Treme next to it is the Metro. Now, you're going to listen to me describing a trip through the Netherlands twice. The trip and the modes of transport can be seen below. See if you can figure out which description is correct and which one contains a mistake. Also, see if you can find out what the mistake is that was being made. Ve success. Here comes description number one. Hurdachegen Kris. Eggs UtrechN Amsterdam, pair fits. Eg name the Auto on Amsterdam NadenaTins and here comes description number two HendachEben Cris. Iris from Utrecht Na Amsterdam PerfetEgnamed the Trine Amsterdam NadenhaTns Were you able to figure out which description was right and which description contained a mistake? Here are the answers. Description number one was wrong. The reason why it was wrong is that I said, Ig name the Auto Von Amsterdam that means I take the car. But as you can see, it's actually a train, a train. That's why the second description was correct because there I said I named the train Von Amsterdam, Dena. What's better than some real life practice after the class? My suggestion to you is that you describe your ultimate road trip. This can either be across the world or in your own country or of course, in the Netherlands. Describe where you are going and which modes of transport you use. Have fun with it. Let's see if you've reached all the goals. Our first goal was that you learn how to talk about a trip in Dutch. Our second goal was that you learn the names of the modes of transport. Were you able to name them all? Finally, our goal was that we learn how to use naming, which means to take and Rison, which means to travel. Have you reached all your goals for this video? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 9. Telling time: Welcome to this class about telling time in Dutch. The topic of this class is telling time. Our first goal is that you learn how to tell time in Dutch. Secondly, you will learn about the parts of the day and finally, we will learn how to use the sentence heat is in Dutch, which means it is. Are you ready? Let's get started. Because this class is all about telling time, it is important to know what we call the tools for telling time in Dutch. This is clock. We say it like this, the clock and the clock means the clock. Using a sentence we've learned in an earlier class, we can say this this is an clock, meaning this is a clock. Some people Drachen and you might remember the verb Drachen from the class about clothing, Drachen means to wear. Some people Drachn, some people wear an holosian as you can see here, an holosian. So an holosia the French word means watch, heat holosia the watch. We can make the same sentence with heat holosia and it goes like this. This is an holosia that means this is watch. An Clock is a clock and an holosia is watch. Let's look at the parts of the day in Dutch. We start the day off in the Ortend of Moren and Ortend of Moren means morning. Both are fine to use. You can say Otend or you can say Moren Then when the sun is the highest in the sky, we call it Midach Midach means afternoon. Then in the evening, which we call Avant, we play our sports or we relax in the avant. Finally, after a nice day in Holland, we lay our heads to rest in the Nat and Nat means night. Those are the parts of the day Ohtend Men Ma Avant, and Nat. Let's look at this conversation. The Vraumd Dunkerh on the left is wondering what time it is. As you might remember, rau means woman and Dunkerh means dark hair. So the woman with the dark hair wants to know the time. She asks who Lad is head who at is head means. What is the time? It's the most common way to ask for the time. The nervau, this is something completely new, but raw meaning woman and re is the other. The underau responds saying, head is vive Uh, Head is. This is how you can always describe the time using head is and head is means it is. You remember Vive from the class on counting, it means five and means hour. This is how we tell time in Dutch. Head is v. It is 5:00. Now we are going to practice telling time in Dutch. You will see the time on an analog clock as well as the time on a digital clock, and we are going to learn how to tell the time in a full sentence in Dutch. Now, it is 5:00 or 17.00 on a digital clock. In Dutch, we say this using the following sentence. Head is vive Uh, head is waive U. Head is means it is, Waive means five and U means hour o'clock. It is 5:00. Another one. It is an car. This is an alarm clock and head is Zaven. We would say that as follows, heat is a heat is Zen h. It is 7:00. Now the last one, 2:00. This one is for you. How would you say this? It is 2:00 in Dutch. You can use the same structure as before, head is, then you fill in what two means and that means to in Dutch. Then you just add. Head is. It is 2:00. Head is. Did you get it correctly? We've looked at examples of telling time using full hours. But of course, we also have to know how to tell the time when it's half past something. But the woman is back and she is asking a slightly different question. Let's look at it. Who at is head Nu. I've highlighted the word Nu in red because it's an important word relating to time in Dutch. Nu means now. She's asking a similar question, but she's asking and what is the time now? The other woman, the Andre vrau responds with heat is half ten. The response is quite similar to the last one. Head is still there. Ten is still a number that means ten, but the half is new and half, it means half. Head is half ten means it is 9:30. This might confuse you understandably because in the Dutch sentence, it says ten, which means ten. But then in the English translation, it says 9:30. The reason we do this is that the Dutch count to the next hour. 930 is said like half tin, where the English count back, they say 9:30. We say half ten. That's an important difference to be aware of. But let's look at an example to make it a little clearer. Half tin means 9:30. Let's look at this clock. The time is 9:30 or 9:30 and the minute hand standing on six means half in Dutch. But then we count to the next number, so to the ten. That's why we say half ten. Let's practice some more with half in Dutch. You're going to see three examples of telling time using half hours, starting with this one. It's 730 in Dutch, we say heat is half Acht. 730 half Acht as you remember, we count to the next hour. It's not 7:30. No, it's half ch And he is half ht means it is 7:30. Another example, 1 hour later. It's 830. We say in Dutch, head is half Nan. Again, we count to the next hour, so we don't count back to the t, we count up to the nine. Head is half N that means it is 8:30. And this one is for you. It is 1030. How do you say this in Dutch? We say this as follows. Head is half f. I hope you didn't get tricked and you counted to the next number, which is the 11, head is half Lf. It is 10:30. The thing to take away from this is that where the English count back to the last number, we actually count up to the following number. Another thing you will likely use when coming to the Netherlands is a quarter two and a quarter past. But how do we say this in Dutch, a quarter two and a quarter past. Let's first look at a quarter past. Here the time is 9:15. In Dutch, we would say, head is quite over Nechen. A lot of similarities to the previous examples, head is, as we use anywhere when telling time, head is quite a quarter past, echen and Nechen means nine. It is a 9:15. Now let's look at a quarter two. Now the time is 5:45. How do we say this in Dutch? Of course, we use head is quart Z. Here we do count to the next number, quart four Z. It is a quarter 26. Now let's see if you can remember how to say a quarter past and a quarter two in Dutch. Here we go. Head is dot dot dot or pinch pinch in Dutch. Nah. Do you remember how to say quarter past? I hope you remembered well and you said head is quart over n. Now let's practice the other one, a quarter two. How do you say that? Head is Z. We want to say it is a quarter 26. How do we say that? We say it like this. Head is quart Zs. Did you get both of them correctly? Now we are really going to practice telling time in Dutch. You see a clock on your left hand side. I'm going to make 5 minutes pass and then pause, and you are going to learn how to tell time for every 5 minutes that are in an hour. It's going to be a bit of a challenge. So if you don't get it right at once, it's okay. You can replay it as many times as you want and practice as many times as you want. Ville success. We start with the full hour, 11:00, as you can see on the clock. How do you say this in Dutch? Head is Alf. The full hours head is and then the number and then head is Alf. It is 11:00. Let's make 5 minutes pass. 11:05. How do you say that in Dutch? Head is f over Alf. So you know the numbers, head is, head is means it is Vive means five. Those are the minutes that you are past the full hour. Vive minutes. Over means literally over, so you're over the hour of 11 and LF means 11. Head is Vive over, Alf means it is 11:05. Then another 5 minutes passes. And now or Nu. Head is ten over ALF. A very similar sentence. The only thing that changed is that it's no longer Vive over ALF but head is ten over ALF as you remember from the class on counting, ten means ten. We're saying it's 10 minutes over or past ELF. Head is ten over Elf. It is 11:10. We make another 5 minutes pass and now it's a 11:15. You've seen this before, you should be able to tell what a 11:15 is. A 11:15 is head is quart over Elf. Head is, you know that, it's the same everywhere. Quart is a quarter and over Elf means past 11. It is a 11:15. Now we get to the part where it gets really complex. The last thing we saw was a 11:15. Now another 5 minutes pass and it's 11 20. But the way we say this in Dutch is so different from how the English say it that I haven't even translated it to English because it would confuse you more than it would explain things. I'm just going to tell you, we count to the half past. But of course, we count half past to the next hour. So we count two half 12. Then we count how many minutes it is left until it's half 12. Head is teen half 12. And this one, you might need to take a second look at it because it's so different. But it's basically saying it is ten means ten, 10 minutes. Four means literally before, half 12, 11:30. We're saying it is 10 minutes till 11:30. He is 104, half, 12. And I just translated it like this because it's probably going to confuse you more if I translate it literally here. 11 24 half 12. Then 5 minutes later, we use the same structure, but now it's head is wave for half 12. We still count to the half hour, 11:30, half 12. But now we say head is wave 5 minutes. Head is wave for half 12. It is 11 25. 5 minutes later, we come to a time that is familiar to you. You've heard it before. 11 30. How do you say that? Do you remember? 11 30 in Dutch is head is half 12. So as you remember, we count to the next hour instead of to the last. Head is half 12. It is 11:30. Now we are going to count from half 12, 11:30 onwards. And it's not getting much easier. I'm sorry. 5 minutes have passed and it's 11 35. It is very similar to the one that was before, 11:30 because it goes like this. Head is five over half 12. We still count to the half 12, 11:30, but now we count over. That means after. We're basically saying it's 5 minutes past half 12. Five over half, 12. It is 11 35. Once again, I just put the literal number there, not to confuse you anymore. Head is five over half 12. I think you can guess the next one. Again, same style as before. Head is ten over half 12. We still count from half 12, but now it's ten over half 12. It is 11 40. Now finally, some easier ones, 11 45. I think you know how to say 11 45. 11 45 is head is 12, a 11:45. It is a 11:45, head is art for 12. We left off at a quart 12 now the last 21150. We count to the next hour, 12 and we count how many hours are left until it's 12? We say head is teen for 12. It is ten to 12. Finally, some easier ones. Head is 10412. 5 minutes later, 11 55 Head is Vive for 12. Same structure, 5 minutes to 12. It is five to 12. Head is Vive for 12. That was it. The whole clock around, and we've counted all the hours in Dutch. If you don't get it at once, I know it's very different from the way the English count. You can replay it as many times as you want and practice. But I've also got some practice, of course, further on in the class. Let's do a recap of the information from this class. The topic of this class was telling time or lock Kaken in Dutch. First, we learned about heat is, which means it is and it's used to tell the time. First, we looked at the full hours. For example, of 12, 4:00 or 12:00. Then we looked at half past and we learned that we say it differently than the English. Where the English count back to the last hour, we count forward to the next hour. 330 in Dutch is half er and half Acht is 7:30 in English. Then we looked at quartour and quart four means a quarter two. The other one quart over is a quarter s. Then we looked at all the times on the clock in Dutch and they are quite different sometimes. So it's good to review them. Vive over and teen O mean five past and ten past. Then Teen V half and for half are so different from the way the English counted that it would be confusing to put the translation here. I just write it like this. When it's 20 past, we use teen vor half and when it's 25 past, we use Vive for half. Basically, 52 half. Vivo half and TNO half refer to 35 and 40. Then Vive four and teen four mean 52 and 102. So do you have all the information from this class on telling Time in your head? Because now we're going to practice in Old Dutch to see if you've made the goals of this class, Vil success. Now we're going to really practice telling time in Dutch. You're going to see four clocks on your screen. You will see the analog time as well as the time on the digital clock written underneath it. The question for you is who at is head. What is the time? Who at is head. Here they are, and here are the digital times. I will give you time now to look at each one and tell the time in Dutch. Then we're going to review them from left to right to see if you have all the answers correctly. Ville success. Et's start with the clock on the left. It is 5:00, and in Dutch, we say heat is a Then the second one, a 5:15. In Dutch, we say, head is card over five. The one next to it, 530 or 5:30. Head is half Z. Count to the next hour. Head is half Z. Finally, 545 or a 5:45. Head is quart four ZS. Did you get the mo correctly? We're going to do some real listening practice. I'm going to talk about the three times you see on your screen in Dutch. 12:00, 4:15 and 640. I'm going to describe them twice, and one version is correct and does not contain a mistake, and the other version contains a mistake. The question to you is which version is correct, and what is the mistake in the other one? Val success. Here comes description number one on the left. Hello. Head is 12. Head is quite over. Head is ten over half Zaven. And here comes description number two on the right. Hello. Head is 12. Head is u four vive. Head is ten over half Zaven. Were you able to pick out which one was correct and which one was incorrect? Let's listen to it again, and I will show you which one was correct and which one were said incorrectly. We start with description number one on the left. Hello. Head is 12. Head is quite over here. Head is ten over half Zaven. All the descriptions that were set on the left, they were all correct. 12, quart over fear, ten over half Zaven. The one on the left was correct. That means the mistake must have been in the one on the right, and let's listen to it. Hello, head is 12, head is quart four vive. Head is ten over half Zaven. The second one was the mistake. It should have been quart over e. What's nicer than some real life practice after the class? Since this class was on telling time, maybe during the week, you can check the time on your holosa or your watch or on the clock several times and try to say it in Dutch. Val success. Et's see if you've reached all the goals. Our first goal was that you can tell the time in Dutch. Can you do that now? Secondly, we learned about the different parts of the day in Dutch. Finally, we learned how to say heat is and to use it to tell the time. Have you reached all your goals for today? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 10. Dates: Welcome to this Dutch class about dates. The topic of this class is dates. You will learn how to name the seasons, months, and days of the week in Dutch. Besides that, you will learn which proposition to use when speaking about dates as an added bonus, you will learn about some important dates in Dutch We start with the seasons. Sison is what we call a season in Dutch. We start with the coldest one, the winter. It's written the same as an English winter, but it's pronounced slightly different winter. The preposition you use when talking about any of the seasons is in. We say in the winter. Let's move on to some warmer temperatures. The flowers are blooming and there are bees flying around. Head is Len Lente means spring. We use the same preposition as for all seasons in the Lente Time for parties and holidays. Head is Zoomer. Zomer means summer in Dutch. The same preposition is used in the Zomer our last zoo is the hrefst. The leaves are falling and the temperature drops again. Harvest means autumn and surprise. The preposition is in, in the heft. Now that you know the names of the seasons, let's look at the months of the year. Let's have a look at the months in Dutch. First of all, a month is called mand in Dutch. We start in the winter months. December, the last month of the year. After December comes Januari and February. As you can see, the months in Dutch are not capitalized. Let's look at some important dates in the winter months, starting in December. In December, we have a party called Sinter class and it might look a little familiar to you and that's because Sina class is the original Santa Claus. It's a Dutch tradition, Sina class where the children receive gifts. SyntacAss is in December. It's the same preposition you use when speaking about in a certain season winter in Domer. You also use it for months. If you want to say Synta class is in December, you're saying that it's in the month of December. Synta Class is in December. Synta class is in December. But sometimes you know the exact date when you know that, you use a different proposition. Synta class is on the fifth. Synta class is up five December. You see that when you know the exact date, you use up, Synta class is up five December. Synta class is on 5 December. Some more dates. Between December and January, we celebrate out and new, meaning the new. Out and New is up eight indire December. Out and new is up eight andere December. Because we know the exact date, 31 December, we can say up New Year's Eve is on 31 December. And then in February, we have the day of love, Valentine's Day. We say Valentine's Dach is Februar. Now we're talking about the month. We're not talking about an exact date. How do you say that? Here, you have the English translation, Valentine's Day is in February. How do you say that in Dutch? We say it like this. Valentine's da is in February. When it's the month, you say in. Did you get it correctly? Now we're going to have a look at the months of spring, starting with Mart. That's March. After Mart comes April. You can hear that the pronunciation is different. It's not April, it's April. After April, we have May and that of course means May. Mart April May. Let's see if we have some important dates for our culture in spring. Well, actually, there are a lot of them, almost too many to name, but I would say the most important one is probably King's Day in April. Let's see how we can talk about this date. Konigstach is in April. Meaning King's Day is in April. It's almost the same sentence as you can see. Kongstach is in April. But we can't go to Amsterdam every day of the month hoping that we get the correct day, there would be a lot of extra effort. What if we can speak about the exact date? Because it's only one day. Then we can say it like this. Konigsdach is Zaven twin pre. As you can see, I left it blank, and I'll give you the English translation. King's Day is on 27 April. But how do you say this in Dutch? When we know the exact date of an event, we say up. The sentence becomes Kongstach is up Zaven and Winter April. King's Day is on 27 April. We use the preposition up for an exact date. Finally, summer is here. The first month of summer is cold. Ni in Dutch. One letter difference, June uni After uni, we have li and this might be a little confusing to you because they're very similar in way of writing as well as the way of pronunciation. Don't worry. I even confuses some Dutch people sometimes. When you say it quickly, people have to clarify a couple of times whether they're speaking about uni or li because they're very similar. But the difference is Ni Yuli. If you pronounce it exaggerate your pronunciation, then you can clearly hear the difference. But when you speak fast, sometimes it gets lost, but it's no problem. After Yuli comes, ou hush Ou hush Ts. Of course, August. Let's see if we have something nice to do in the summer months. Well, of course we do. The summer holiday and we say that as Zoomer vacancy. The Zoomer vacancy is in Yuli and Augustus. Even if you're talking about two months or three months, you still use in. The Zoomer vacancy is in Juli and Augustus. The summer holiday is in July and August. We end our year in autumn, the Hearst. Let's see what the months of autumn are called in Dutch. First, September, as you can see, very similar to the English, September. Then after September comes October. Just one letter difference, and then we have November also similar. This might be the easiest season in terms of the months. Sadly, not that many nice things happen in autumn in terms of festivities. So yeah, there isn't really a special date in our culture in autumn. Let's have a look at the days of the week in Dutch. First of all, vac is a week, it's the same word but a slightly different pronunciation. Vk is week. Let's review them one by one. Sunday is called Zonda in Dutch Zonda Monday is called Manda in Dutch. Man Tuesday is called Dens da. Wednesday is called Thursday is called Dondera Dunder da. Friday is called da and Saturday is called Zarda. As you probably noticed, the days all end in da, as in English does in day, we end in da and da means day. Zonda means Sunday. And a lot of these names of these days are taken from either an old god or something from nature. For example, same as in English, Zonda comes from the sun. Zoom is sun and da is day, Zuma the day of the sun. Manda comes from the moon, the man, man. Dondach comes from Thunder or the old Germanic god of Thunder and also Fredach, but it's more a thing from the very ancient past. It comes from the Roman god of Freya. That's where the names of the days come from. Let's speak about our days in Dutch. Something we can say is c k up manda Vic is something you haven't seen before, but it means I work. It comes from the verb icon to work, c Vic work, up manda. As you can see, the preposition is the same for when we knew the exact date when speaking about, for example, Synta class, up five, December. If you know the exact day of the week, you also use up ick up manda, meaning I work on Monday. Then another sentence, Ig football, up, Dinsta avant. As you can see, this sentence is a bit longer, a bit more complex as well. Ig football, football comes from the verb Vudbll which means to play football. Up. Same proposition because you know the exact moment, g football, up, Dinsta Tuesday and avant as we learned before, is evening. I play football on Tuesday evening. Let's do a recap of the information from this class. The topic of this class was dates or data, as we say in Dutch. The first thing we looked at were Sizunen or the seasons the Sizunen are Zein, Winter Lena Sommer, and Hearst. Then we looked at the Mandan, the months Januari February, Mart, April, May, uni i Augustus, September, October, November, December. Those are the months. Then we looked at some prepositions when speaking about dates. If you knew the exact month something happens in, you say in Januari. But if you knew the exact day which something happens, you say, up them Januari. Then we looked into the Dan from the k. So k means week, da means day, so days of the week. And they are Manda, Dinsta unsta Donda Frida, ata and Zonda. And finally, some prepositions in the somer if you want to speak about the season in the Zomer when you know the exact day at which something happens, up Manda. Do you have all the information from this class in your head? Because now we're going to practice Old Dutch to see if you've really made the goals of this class. Feel success. First, we are going to practice the seasons, see if you can name them all. Let's start with the coldest of them all. Winter. Then after winter comes Lenten the best one Zomer and finally Herfst. Did you remember them all? Now let's look at which prepositions to use when speaking about seasons. The winter. Which proposition should be in front of the winter or the Heft. The preposition we use when speaking about a season is in the winter and also in the hairs or any other one of them. In the Zoomer in the and now let's practice with the months. December. In December, we have Synta class. But how do we speak about this? CintaClass is December. Which preposition should we use? Then if we do know the exact date, 5 December December, which prepositions do we use then? First, the month, Synta class is in December. Then the exact date, Synta Class is up five December. In for the whole month and up if you know the exact date. Another one, April. In April, there is Konigsach. Knigtah is April and Konigstah is Zaven and Twine a prill. Which prepositions do we use here? Here we say, Konigstach is in April for the whole month. Konigstach is up Zaven and Twine April for the exact date. Let's practice our listening with the Dan the week. The days of the week. As you can see in our week planning, two days are missing. Which days are those? The first day that is missing is unstach the second day that is missing is dach. As you can see, I've put three activities all related to earlier classes on these vague planning. I'm going to describe my vague planning to you in Dutch twice. The question to you is which description is correct and which description contains a mistake and also which mistake has been made. Let's listen to description number one. Hi Eg Ben chris and dt is mine age Ig football up manda Ig named the Auto up Donda IgatePastaU Zonda. Totins here's description number two. Hi gbenhris and D is mine age. Ig named the Auto up Manda Egg football up Dondraa Ig ate pasta up Zonda Totins Were you able to pick out which was correct and which was incorrect, and maybe even what the mistake was? Let's look at the answers. Description number one was correct. The activities were on the right day. Of course, description number two was then incorrect. The mistake was that I said Ig named the Auto Op Manda and Ig football O Donda. The first two activities, the days were mixed up. Did you get them both correctly? If not, maybe you can replay parts of the video and come back a second time to see if you understand it then. What's nicer than some real life practiced after class? Since this class was all about dates, it's nice to make your own calendar in Dutch where you put the names of the seasons, the months, and the days. Then you can add some important dates either in Dutch culture or for yourself, and maybe you can share with friends or family or anybody who wants to listen to you. I'm sure you'll have fun. Fill success. Let's see if you've reached all the goals of this class. Our first goal was to learn the names of the seasons, the months, and the days in Dutch. Can you name them all? Secondly, you learned which preposition to use. Finally, our added bonus of today was the to learn about some important dates in Dutch culture. Have you reached all your goals, I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 11. Inside the house: Welcome to this Dutch class about things you find inside the house. This class is about things you find inside the house. We're going to learn the names of the rooms in Dutch. Also, we learn the names of pieces of furniture. Lastly, we learn how to use prepositions to speak about where something is. Are you ready? Let's get started. Let's start with the basics. This is a house. House is house in Dutch. The article we use is heat. He house is the house. We can make a sentence in Dutch about this house, for example, this is an house. This is an house means this is a house and the structure should sound familiar to you from earlier classes. Now let's look at something new that we can say about this house. Head house had gamers. We know that head house means the house and haved comes from heaven, which means to have the house has gamers. This is a new word for you and that's why it's written in red, gamers. Let me give you a little illustration to help you figure out what gamers means. So I think with the context of this illustration and the context of the sentence, you can infer that Camers means rooms. The sentence is the house has rooms, had house had CamersO the illustration, we see two rooms. So the singular is the cam, the room. Welcome in the hone camer. The hone camera is the living room. Welcome in means welcome too. So welcome in the one camera means welcome to the living room. Let's see what we call the pieces of furniture in this room, starting on the left hand side. The first thing we see is the televise the tele visi means the television. Then we have the Tafo and the Tafo means table. The outdoor light comes from head Ram and heat am means the window, and we sit on the bunk and bunk means couch or sofa. Then some additional light comes from the lump. As you can hear, it's a slightly different pronunciation, lump instead of lamp. Finally on the right, we have the stool and stool means chair. Let's go through these pieces of furniture in Dutch one more time. Tele vis, am, Tafo, bunk, lump, and stew. The next room is the Cochin. Welcome in the Cochin. Cocoon means kitchen. Welcome to the kitchen. Let's review the things we find inside the kitchen. Starting on the left hand side, we see the cool cast. This is different from the English fridge. Literally translated, it means cool closet. It's the closet that keeps things cool. Next to it is the oven. Again, the same word, but slightly different pronunciation, oven instead of oven. Then we see the coke plat, which means the cook plate literally translated and those are the stoves. We see the vas Ba and that is the sink, the vas back. We see the vat vasar which is the dishwasher. Those are the things we find inside the cocin, the cocost, oven, coke plat, vas back, and vat vasar. This is the slab camer. Slab means sleep and Camer as we learned means room. Literally translated, we call it the sleep room. The slab camer is the bedroom. Inside this bedroom, we see different furniture items, namely hoardin which means curtain. Bt, which of course means bad. Slightly different pronunciation, bet versus bad on the right hand side, we see the cost. You might remember this from the cool cost, which is the fridge, but this is the regular cost, which means closet. Let's review them one more time. Hardine bet Cost. Welcome in the bath camer. The bath camer is the bathroom. Welcome to the bathroom. We see a couple of elements typical to a bathroom, like a toilet of the Visa both are common ways of naming it in Dutch. Of course, meaning the toilet. The doch, this is not an offense. This is what we call the shower in Dutch. Doch We see Spiho. The Dutch G is really strong here, SpihoO course meaning mirror. Vastafo which is a sink. One thing that's missing, what you will find in many both camers is head butt, which is why the both camer has this name because it's named after the bathtub. But let's review them one more time. Heat toilet of base, the Duche, the Spijo the Vatafo and head butt. All the pieces of furniture you saw in the rooms had a specific location. To describe this location, we use Dutch repositions. Let's review them by using Tafel and a stool. As we see, the chair is next to the table. We say it like this. The stool is Mast, the Tafo. Nast is the preposition here. The stool is Nast the Tafo. That means next to. Translating the full sentence is the chair is next to the table. The stool is Mast, the Taft. Let's move the chair. Now it's in front of the table. Let's see how we say this in Dutch. The stool is the Tafo. The preposition is again in red, in front of the stool is the tao. The chair is in front of the table for the ta. We move the chair again. Now it's on top of the table. Let's see how we say this in Dutch. The stool is up the Taff, up means on top of the chair is on top of the table. Now the chair has a new position behind the table. Let's see how we say this in Dutch. The stoo is the Achter. As you can hear, the C and the H together here also create a sound. So as I call it a Dutch G, the stoo is achter theta the chair is behind the table. Then finally, the chair moves again and is now under the table. Let's see which preposition we can use here. The stool is under the tapo. This probably sounds familiar because it's only one letter apart. Under means under. The chair is under the table. Let's do a recap of the information from this class. The topic of this class was inside the house or in head house in Dutch. The first words we learned were HeadHuse and the camer. You can read what HeadHuse means above. But do you remember what the Camer means? So a house means the house, and the Kamar means the room. Then we looked at the names of the different rooms in Dutch and here they are. Von gamer, Coke, Slab hammer, and Bt gamer. They were living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. We learned about the sentence welcom in, which means welcome to and then we continued with the pieces of furniture. There were many in this class. I didn't have enough space to put all the English translations, but I hope that you can remember what they were. I'm going to help you with it. First, I'm going to read them in Dutch. T visi, am, bunk, lump, sto cost, oven, coke plat, VsbachFatwser, hordin, bet, cost, toilet, ******, butt, Spij and Watafo. I know that's a whole list. I hope you remember most of them. Let me give you the translations. Television, window, sofa or couch, lamp. Chair, fridge, oven, stoves, sink, dishwasher, curtain, bed, closet, toilet, shower, bath, mirror, and sink. Did you remember most of them? I hope so. Otherwise, you can replay this class or parts of it and come back to see if you understand it another time. And finally, as the final part of this class, we learned about prepositions in Dutch Nast for op Achter and under they mean next to in front of on top of behind and under. Do you have all the information from this class in your head? Because now we're going to practice in all Dutch to see if you've really reached the goals of this class. Real success. I've just bought a new house and went shopping for furniture, and I've bought a couple of items. Let's see if you can name them in Dutch. Here they are. So these are the four items that I bought. Can you name them all in Dutch? Here come the answers. The first thing I bought is bunk. The second thing is an Tafo. Then to keep my food cool, I bought a cooks. Finally, when I need to rest, I use my bet. Did you get all of them correctly? These items are going to be inside my living room. Do you remember what the living room is called in Dutch? It's the one cam. Now, you're going to listen to me describing the position of these pieces of furniture relative to the table using Dutch prepositions. Listen carefully and see if you can spot which version is correct and which version contains a mistake. Also, see if you can spot what the mistake is. Vil success. Here comes description number one. The bunk is Ochter the Tavo. The lump is up the tavo. The stool is or the Tavo. Here comes description number two. The bunk is for the Taff. The lump is up the Tafo. The stool is Ochter the Tafo. Were you able to find out which version was correct and which version contained a mistake, and maybe you were even able to pick out what the mistake was. Here come the answers. Description number one was correct. I said, the bunk is Acher the tapo, so behind. The lump is up the taffo on top of and the stool is or the tao, in front of. Of course, the second one was then incorrect because I said the bunk is the Tafo. I said in front of the table and the stool is Achter the Tafo behind the table. I mixed up the prepositions and Achter. What's nicer than some real life practice after the class? Because this class was about things inside the house. My suggestion to you is that you take a little walk around the house and see if you can name as many rooms and pieces of furniture in Dutch as you can. Another suggestion I can give you is that you take an object like Ds hun. You remember this from the class on clothing. You can put it in different locations inside the house and see if you can describe its location using Dutch repositions. Have fun with it. Et's see if you've reached all the goals. Our first goal was that you know the names of the rooms in Dutch. Do you know them all? Secondly, we learned to name pieces of furniture. Finally, we learned how to use Dutch prepositions to describe something's location. Have you reached all the goals? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. I 12. Routines: Welcome to this Dutch class about routines. The topic of this class is routines. Our first goal is that you learn how to describe your own daily routine in Dutch. Also, you will learn many verbs related to routines. Finally, you will learn how to say in which part of the day something happens. Are you ready? Let's get started. From the moment we wake up to the moment we're back in our beds, a lot of things happen. There are some things most of us do every day. Let's learn how to speak about the Otentutine in Dutch. Ogtent means morning and rutine should be very simple because it means routine. Odenttine is our morning routine. Let's see what our Otenrutine consists. The first thing we do is waking up in Dutch, we can say this as follows. Ich Wort Wacker Om t u. So Igbortvaker means I wake up and om t u should sound familiar to you from the class on telling time. Um t u means at 8:00. The translation of this sentence is, I wake up at 8:00. Ikbrtvakerm t u. Let's see what the next thing in our morning routine tend routine is. Ket bite mm. This sentence should also be familiar to you because the verb eaten and bite are from the class on foods. So Aten was to eat, Ig eight. Um Bite is breakfast, and Om half Ng should be familiar from the class on telling time at 8:30. The full sentence is, I eat breakfast at 8:30. Igeateobte half N. Now the last thing in our morning routine, Ik puts main Tanden m Nun ur. And as you can see in the picture, he's brushing his teeth. So Ik puts main Tanden means I brush my teeth, and om nenur means at 9:00. I brush my teeth at 9:00. Now let's see what we do in the afternoon. Let's dive into the midachRutin. As you might remember, the midach is the afternoon. Mach Rutte means afternoon routine. The first thing we do in the afternoon is work to work is erken in Dutch. I erkannt This means I work 9-5 o'clock. Ich Men tot if. Oh. The next thing we do should be familiar to you from the classes on transportation and inside the house. Ik is met the train NA house. IkReis I travel, met the train by train, and NAR means two. All those came from the class on transportation and house means house or in this case, home. The sentence becomes, I travel by train to my house. Ickes met the train, Naar house. Now let's look at our avant routine. Avant means evening. Our avant routine is our evening routine. Anybody who goes to the gym can probably confirm that the evening is a time when a lot of people like to work out. I sport in means I play sports at 9:00. I sport menu. And when I get home, it's time to sleep. K a SlapenlfU. So Ika Slapen means I go to sleep, and melvur means at 11:00. So I go to sleep at 11:00. Ika SlapenmlfU Now that we've learned how to describe our daily routine in Dutch, let's see how you can say that something happened in a specific part of the day. We started describing our routine in the morning. How do you say in the morning? As you might remember, there are two ways of saying morning in Dutch. One is Morgen and the other one is Ochtent. If you want to say in the morning, you can either say in the Morgen or in the Ogtent it doesn't matter which you choose. In the Morgen means in the morning. In our morning routine, we woke up we ate breakfast, and we brushed our teeth. Let's see how you describe this in a Dutch sentence. Ig Wort Wacker ate on bites and puts me in Tanden in the Morgen. You can see we're describing our routine, and then we finish with in the M in the morning. The translation of this sentence is, I wake up, eat breakfast, and brush my teeth in the morning. If we want to describe that something happened in the afternoon, we use the same setup as with the morning. We say, in the midachF Mira there is only one option. We only say mita. In the mirach means in the afternoon. As you might remember, we worked and we took the train in the Mirach. Let's see how you describe this in a Dutch sentence. K erk and is met the train in the Midach. You see the setup is the same as in the morning. You describe the activities Ik Vic and is met the train you finish with in the midach. That means in the afternoon. The translation of this sentence is, I work and travel by train in the afternoon. When speaking about things that happened in the evening, we use in the avant. The setup is the same as in the morge in the Midach but now we say avant in the avant. That means in the evening. As you might remember, our evening activities were playing sports and then going to sleep. Let's see how we say this in a Dutch sentence. I sport and slap and in the avente. Again, we mentioned our activities, I sport and ha slap en in the Avent. We close off with in the avant. This sentence translates to, I play sports and go to sleep in the evening. Et's do a recap of the information from this class. The topic of this class was routines or routines in English. The first thing we looked at was the Ogtent or Morgen Ruttene the morning routine, consisting of Wagerborden, umptetn and TondenPen Do you remember the translation of these activities? They are waking up, eating breakfast, and brushing teeth. Then we looked at the Midach, the afternoon routine, and that consisted of erken and met the train sin. Do you remember what they meant? Erken is working and Met the Trenresen is traveling by train. Then we looked at the avant routine, the evening routine, and that consisted of Sportin and Hanslapen. Do you remember what those two activities mean? Sporten means playing sports and Janslapen means going to sleep. Finally, in the last part of our class, we learned how to say that something happened in a specific part of the day and we describe it in Dutch using in the plus the part of the day. In the Morgen, in the Mach and in the Avant, in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening. Do you have all this information from this class on routines in your head? Because now we're going to practice in Old Dutch to see if you've reached the goals of this class. You're going to see three activities from our daily routine play out on your screen. Can you match them to the right description? Here are the answers. The activity on the top left is ocher Borden or waking up. The activity to the right is Aunt Bate Aten, eating breakfast. And the activity on the bottom is an SlappinG to sleep. Did you get all of them correctly? On your screen, you see my routine for today. You're going to listen to me describing my routine twice. One version is right and the other contains a mistake. Can you figure out which version is right and which contains a mistake? Also, see if you can figure out what the mistake in the description was. Here comes description number one. Hello, Egg Mnhris and this is mine Routine. Egg puts mein tanden gt U Eg VerkFanNuTt five Eg sport Om N U. And here comes description number two. Hello. Ich Bencis and this is mine Routine. Ig PutzmTanden miport an Nur tot veg Vergneen Were you able to pick out which version was correct and which version contains a mistake? Maybe you were even able to pick out what the mistake was. Here come the answers. Description number one on the left was right. I said, Ig puts main Tanden tu, I brush my teeth at 8:00. IgnurTtFv. I work from 9:00 to five Ig sport enu. I play sports at 9:00. The second description on the right was wrong because I said, g puts my tanden t u, which is correct. I brush my teeth at 8:00. But then I said, g sportin V which means I play sports 9-5 and I'm working there, that's incorrect. Then I said germ that means I work at 9:00. The work and the sports were mixed up. What's better than some real life practice after the class? Since this class was on routines, my suggestion to you is that you describe your daily routine in Dutch. If you don't know how to describe a certain activity, you can look it up on the Internet. Val success. Let's see if you've reached the goals. Our first goal was that you learn how to describe your daily routine in Dutch. Can you do that now? Secondly, you've learned some verbs related to routines. Finally, you've learned how to say that something happens in a certain part of the day. Have you reached all your goals? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 13. Getting groceries: Welcome to this Dutch class in which we learn how to get groceries in a Dutch supermarket. The topic of this class is getting groceries, and what better way to learn that than to go shopping in a virtual Dutch supermarket? So our first goal is that you learn how to go grocery shopping in a Dutch supermarket. Secondly, you will learn how to name the sections of the supermarket in Dutch. And finally, you can hold a conversation at the checkout. Are you ready? Let's get started. Let's start from the beginning. Getting groceries is called Boat Happen Dun in Dutch. Boats Happen are the groceries, and Dun means to do. Bothpendun is to do grocery shopping. Boats Hop and. The place you go to to go boats Hop and do so get groceries is the supermarket, and it's very similar to the supermarket in English. Just one letter difference. We take out the last E, supermarket. Let's see how we talk about the supermarket in a sentence. Dt is the supermarked. As you can see, the last E was taken out, and then you have the Dutch word, supermarked. Did is the supermarket means, this is the supermarket. The next sentence. We see these images and we talk about them in this sentence. The supermarket offden. Well, we just learned that the supermarket is the supermarket and haved comes from the verb Haben to help you a little bit. Ofding has everything to do with the images that you see. What do you think this full sentence means the supermarket off day. The supermarket had offdlen means, of course, the supermarket has sections. Off Dingen are sections. Now we're going to go to our virtual supermarket to go grocery shopping, both open Dun, to see the different sections and also learn about some products and verbs that we use and the products that we can find in the different sections of the supermarket. Let's go. Welcome in the virtue supermarket. That means welcome to the virtual supermarket. Let's start at the first section. Welcome up the Grunte and FrautOdiing. Hrunte and FrautOfdiing means vegetables and fruits section. Welcome to the vegetables and fruits section. Here, Copia productinOs. This is quite a new sentence. Here, Copia productinOs. Here means here. We're talking about this section specifically. Here means here. COP is a verb which comes from Copen which means to buy. Productin it's very similar to product in English and As it means like. Putting them all together, we get the translation. Here you buy products like well, let's see which products alco productin we can buy Bacuna Cope. Do you remember what these are called in Dutch? They are called art apples. They are potatoes. So up the Junte and FrautOding cope ig, art apples. On the fruit and vegetable section, I buy potatoes. And what about this? What do we call this product? This product hate this product is called banan. I wrote it in plural, even though it's only holding one. The singular is banan, but the plural is banana. Banana are bananas. Let's go to the next off dialing in our supermarket. Welcome in the Bac Arai. Bakari is the bakery section. Welcome to the bakery section. The main product you buy in this section, the Bakari is Bot. Do you remember what Bot means? Bot is bread. Let's learn how to ask for the price of a product using broth. We ask it in the following way. Who will cost that Bot. You see the words Hu veil, did and brote, which we talked about in earlier classes. But the verb cost from Custin is new. Hu veil cost did Bot. Custin means to cost. Asking Hu VllKst did Bot is like asking, how much does this bread cost or how much is this bread? Well, thankfully, we have the Bucher, the baker to answer our question. And he respond with D broad caused an R. And you see that we ask the question using this broad when referring to this bread because we have it in our hands and the bucker the baker responds with dt brote. That means that bread. Because you're the one holding it and he's referring to the bread that is a little further away from him, he says, Dt broad cost and U. So translating this sentence, we get that bread costs one euro. Now you've learned how to ask for the price of a product. Let's continue our shopping journey. Did is the Zavo offing, maybe you already picked it up, but you see the word Zavo and it starts with Z U I. The U and the I together in Dutch have a special sound. When you see the U and the I together, you pronounce it as we don't say Zui v, we say Zavo. Once again, the sentence, did is the Zovl ad. Ezivol means dairy. This is the dairy section. Here, Copia productinos. We've seen this sentence before, so we know we're going to look at products in the dairy section. Here, you buy products like Do you remember what this is called? Did product. This product hate is called Milk. Did product hate milk. This product is called milk. Another product we can buy in the dairy section is Yogurt. Yohurt as you can probably guess, means yogurt. Milk and Yohurt. Onto the next ofding the supermarket. This is the lace and is off daily. What do you think lace and is ofdaling means? Vas and vis ofdaling meat and fish section. The sentence is, this is the meat and fish section. This is the Vlas and vis off daily. A sentence we can make is Sos Muche had las Ween, Sos Mucha had flasen there's some new information in here. Head las, as we learned is the meat. Somes, the first word of the sentence is sometimes. But the verb ween is new for us. Let's see what this sentence translates to. Sometimes you have to weigh the meat. Sosmuj had flays we let's see how this process goes in Dutch. We have the scales. My question to you is, we're going to weigh meat. Which of these buttons should we press? We pressed the button that says lace because as we learned, lace is meat. There we go. We put our lace on the scales and the scales shows us that the meat weighs 500 grams. Here's the challenge for you. Don't worry if you don't know it yet. It hasn't been explicitly mentioned in the course. But how do you say 500 in Dutch? It is similar to English where the English say 500. We say Vive hundred. The vive is simply the number five, VV Hundred is the translation of 100. Vive hundred is 500. Now let's make a sentence. Head itive hundred Gram. That means the meat weighs 500 grams. Now you've also learned how to weigh your meat. On the other side of the store, we find the deep freeze section. Let's take a closer look. Welcome up the deep freeze off ding. What do you think deep freeze off daling means? The deep freeze off ding is the frozen section. Welcome to the frozen section. One thing we notice right away is the following. Head is here. Cut. Head is here, Cut. What do you think head is here? Cut means. I can give you a little hint. Head is means it is. Here means here, and cout, as you might have guessed from the temperature meter, means cold. We're saying it's cold here. That's a characteristic of the deep freeze of ding. Cut, head is here, cout. Another thing we can say about this section is head Wsel is Bevorn. Again, you can use the image for help translating this sentence. What do you think head Wutsl Bevan means? Head Val is the food, and Beveren means frozen. So we are saying the food is frozen. Head Vul is Bvroen. Onto the final offding from the supermarket. This is the drunken off daily. Based on the picture, you can probably guess that drunken are drinks, we're in the drinks section. This is the drinks section. This sentence is familiar. Here, Cope, you're productinOs. Here you buy products like It's not really 100% clear to tell that this is beer, but it is. We call it beer. Beer is beer. You coped beer up the drunken half ding. You buy beer at the drinks section. Another product you buy is friz drunk. This is very different from the English soda. It basically means fresh drink. Friz drunk is soda. Another product you buy at the drunken off diling. We've been to every off diling and now it's time to pay. The Zain B the Csa. As you can probably guess, the Casa is the checkout. Bezain B the Casa means we are at the checkout. In recent years, a lot of the Dutch Casas have become self service. Not always will you hold a conversation anymore. But here's how it goes. Latin head sprechen. Latin Hprekken means, let's look at the conversation. Houde mira you remember this one from the very first class on introductions, Houde mirach means good afternoon. The lady responds with Hu De mira, which of course, also means good afternoon. Be weird if it was something else. Then she says, dot Wt done tinterF. There is an amount in this sentence, 2050, TinterF DottTinter. She's talking about the total amount that is due. That will be 2050. Then she asks a question, pinon of content. I think you're definitely going to hear this question. Even though I would say 98% of Dutch people they pay by card. Pinon is paying by card and cont, it means cash. Nine times out of ten, Dutch people will use the card, pinon, but still often the lady she asks, pinon of content. B card or cash. This man gives the typical answer pinon ahi Blift. He says, B card and then he adds ash Blift which means please. He's making it more nicer, more polite. By card, please. Now, the woman has another question. Wilt had Bonter Wilt had Bonitre. This means, would you like the receipt? The man says, Well, depending on if he wants it or not, but this man says, N BdungtTt Zens. You probably remember todd Zens also from the very first class on introductions and greetings. Nay Bdunkt means no thanks. Again, he's being polite because maybe he knows the woman a little bit, but usually you don't know them that well, so you try to be polite. That's why he says Nay bedung andTdZens No thanks S she also says Tot Jens which simply means, see you. That was the conversation you will hold at the checkout, the Casa. Let's do a recap of the information from this class. We went to get groceries, which are Bots happen in Dutch. The first thing we looked at was the actual word itself, getting groceries is boots Hap and Dun. Then we learned about some different sections of the supermarket and the Ks the off daling and the Cosa. The offding is the section and the Cosa is the checkout. Then we learned three new verbs, wegen, Costin and Pinnin wegen means to weigh, which we did with the meat. Costin means to cost when we ask, how much does the bread cost? Uvell costed broad? Pinon is what we did at the Casa. When we want to pay in the end, like most Dutch people do, we pin, so we pay by card. Then we looked at the different sections of the supermarket, which are of Dlingen. Here they all are runte and Fraut Bacari, Zaufon leis and vis, deep Vries, and drunken with the translation being vegetables and fruits, bakery, dairy, meat and fish, frozen and drinks. Finally, at the checkout conversation, we heard the question, Wilt, you had bulletin. That means, would you like the receipt? Do you have all the information from this class in your head? Because it's now time to put into practice what you've learned in this class, Fil success. Let's see if you can name these products. The answers are Fries Brunk, art apples and milk. Now, let's see if you can name the sections these products belong on. The answers are HrunteFraut, ovo, and Drunken. Did you get the all correctly? If so, great work. If not, you can play back parts of the video to see if you can find the names of the different products in the different sections. Come back and see if you can ace this exercise the second time. In this class, there were three new verbs related to grocery shopping. Each of these images represents one of those verbs. Let's see if you can name the verbs that belong to the images. The first verb is in to weigh. The second verb is Costin to cost. And the third verb is pinon which means to pay by card. Now let's see if we can use these verbs in a sentence related to the situation that is displayed in the image. The first one is like this. Second one is like this, and the third one is like this. Fill in the right form of the verb ville success. And Let's review the answers together. The first one head last 500 Gram. We add the T. We go back to the sum, more on that later, which is Wig then we add the T. Head Vas, weighed 500 ram. Let's look at the yogurt. The sentence is the yogurt two euros and we have to fill in cost the sentence becomes the Yogurt cost uro. The yogurt costs two euros, the Yochert cost uro. Finally, the last one, and then we have to use pin the boat hopin it becomes, pin the botab. It's the I form, so you just go back to the root of the verb, which is pin, pin the boat. Now we're going to do a listening exercise. Here you see my shopping list for today. I will tell you which products I'm going to buy and in which section I will get them. One description is correct and the other contains a mistake. See if you can find out which version is correct and what the mistake in the other one is Vail success. Here comes description number one. Ecop BananonU the Hunt and FrautOting Akob brought up the Baccarat of ting, cob, frink, up the drunken of Ding. And here comes description number two. Cop, banananU the Hunt and Fraut often. Ikkop brought up the Zev of Dalen. EcopFritnkU the drunken of Daly. Were you able to find out which description was correct and which description was incorrect? Here come the answers. Description number one was correct, description number two was incorrect. Did you get this right? Let's see what I said so we can find out what the mistake was. In description number one, I said it correctly. I said, ICOp banana of the Junte and FrautOdaiy, ICOP brought up the BacariOaiy, AkobFtnk up the drunken of daily. All the products and the sections were right. What was the mistake in the second one? Well, you can already see it because it's the word in red. I said the same things, except that I said as the second sentence. Ich Cope brought up the Jovo of tailing. So that translates to I buy bread at the dairy section, which is, of course, not where you get your bread. You get it at the BacareO daily. So knowing this, let's listen to the recordings again and see if you can hear the mistake now. Here comes recording number one again. Ecop Bananan, up the Hunt and FrautOtailing. Ecop brought up the baccarat off tailing. A COP free drunk, up the drunken off day. And here comes recording number two. Ich Cop banananU the Hrunte and FrautOden. Ich Cop brought up the JovoOden. IkobFris drunk up the TrunkenOd. What's better than practicing what you've learned in the real world? My suggestion to you is that next time you go grocery shopping, you try to name as many products and sections in the supermarket as you can in Dutch. Of course, you can name the products that you see and heard in this class. But why not challenge yourself a bit more and find out the names of some more products in Dutch. Have fun with it. Our most important goal of this class was that you can go grocery shopping in a Dutch supermarket. Do you have the confidence to do that now? Our second goal was that you can name the sections of a supermarket in Dutch. Finally, we've learned how to hold a conversation at the checkout. Have you reached all your goals for today? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 14. The weather: Welcome to this Dutch class about the weather. This class is all about the weather. Since Holland is known for its capability of having all weather types in one day, there's plenty to talk about. Our first goal is that you can describe the weather in Dutch. Secondly, you will learn how to use North, East, south and west in Dutch. If we put those together, we can make weather report in Dutch. As an added bonus, you will learn about the location and pronunciation of the name of four Dutch cities. Are you ready? Let's get started. The weather is cold heat er in Dutch. We're going to go through the most common weather types. First, you will see what they are called, and then our weather reporter will teach you how to describe the weather situation. Let's start with my favorite weather type. Sunny, we call the sun Zon. The weather type is Zone. If we use it in a sentence, it's head is Zone Heat Zonach means it is sunny. Then we have the famous Dutch clouds. An Volk is a cloud. The weather type we experience more than we like is called Burbage. Heat is provoked means it is cloudy. Another weather type we experience more than we like is eigen. If you want to say it is raining, you say heathen heat eigen. Of course, there are more than three weather types. Let's see some more of them you can experience in the Netherlands. In the winter, we can have snail. Snail means snow. Describing this weather type goes as follows. Heat snout. This means it is snowing. Especially in the morning at places near the water, you can see mist. Mist is fog. If you want to say it's foggy, you say, heat is mist Heat mistik means it is foggy. Finally, especially in autumn, we can have a storm. It's the same word as in English, Storm, nice and easy. For saying it is storming, we use heat stormed. Head stormed means it is storm. So here are three more weather types. Now that we know how to speak about the most common weather types, it's time to learn about the cardinal directions. Most of them are quite similar to English. Let's start in the North. We call it North. North means North. Then we have OST and OST as you probably guess is East. Then we have Zout. Here you see a lot of foreigners will struggle with this because the U and the I together are. Zout instead of Zuit or anything else. I've heard a lot of variations on this, but we say Zout. Zout is South. Finally, perhaps the easiest one, st is West. We say it slightly different. We say st Those are your cardinal directions in Dutch. Now that we know the names of the cardinal directions, let's see how we use them in a sentence as an added bonus, you will learn the names and locations of some Dutch cities. Let's start in the West with our governmental city on the coast. Dana Den ha is in the West. How do we say this in a Dutch sentence? Let's see. Then ha Licht inhet sten then ha Licht inhet sten. As you can see, we use the verb lichen. The word Licht comes from the verb ihren. Then Licht literally means as Dna Licht then ha as I he esten. As you can see, vest is the cardinal direction. But if you want to describe a location in the west, we say inhut s ten. It's the name of the cardinal direction plus EN, as with all of them, you will see later. Then ha is in the West, then ha Licht in Hat Western. Of course, this is some new information for you. We're going to look at some more cities to practice some more a relatively long distance to the north, in Dutch terms, we find the city of CronienT one might be tricky to pronounce because there are two Gs in there who both have a different sound. Listen carefully. Ron Nun. So the first G is what I call a hard G, the ronan. But the second one is different. Hronun. The N and the G together make the sound. That's why you call it ron, un. Let's see how we speak about Kronie being in the North. Croningen Licht inhet Norden. So a lot of similarities with the last sentence about Den ha roningm the city, Licht, same verb, Inhet Norden. So again, it's the cardinal direction north plus E N, Norden Kronian Licht inhet Norden. Kronien is in the North. Moving down the border to the southeast is N D. Once again, maybe a little bit tricky this pronunciation, but maybe I did it on purpose, who knows? N D. Now we don't see a G, but we still hear the hard G sound, N D. That's because the SCH together sound like almost like an S and a hard G N D. The town of Enserd is in the far east of the country and we say that as follows. Nsd Licht IhtOsten. A lot of the sentence will be familiar to you from the last two examples. Enserds the name of the town, Licht InhdOston. Again, Ost is the cardinal direction. If you want to say a location is in the East, we say IHOston. Translating to Enserd is in the East. I wonder if the next town also has a G sound that is different. Oh, of course, it does. In the far South, we have the city of Maastricht, which is actually a very beautiful city which I would highly recommend visiting. But again, you hear a G sound, Maastricht. The G here are the C and the H together. If you're attentive, you know that my name is Chris, which we say as Chris and not as Chris. Not in every situation, the C and the H become a G, but in this situation, it does. Maastricht Maastricht. Let's see how we speak about the location of Mastricht. Maastricht Licht in heat Zauden. By now, you should be familiar with this. Mastrich the name of the city, Licht Ih Zauden. Zout plus A N Mastricht Licht It Zauden. Mastricht is in the South. There you go. That's how you speak about locations in the Netherlands using the cardinal directions. Now we're going to bring together everything we've learned in this class. The weather conditions and the cardinal directions to make an Wibergt in Dutch. You can see it written on the top of this page. He Werbicht is the weather report. We're going to make a weather report for the morning. As you might remember from earlier classes, the morning is called Ochtent in Dutch. We are going to make an Webercht for the Otent. Let's start. First of all, we look at head Zodun the south. Head is Zonech inhad Zodin. Head is Zonach inhad Zodin. The picture might help you, but what does this sentence translate to? Head is Zonach inhad Zodin. Well, where would we be without a little help? As you can see in the picture, we're down south and we see the sunshine. So it translates to it is sunny in the South. In the south of the country, it's sunny. That is Zonech in a Zu. Sadly, for the people of Dana, it is raining and we say had Regent Inht Westin had Regent Inhet Westin. That means it is raining in the West. HRegent Inhet Weston. Well, I wonder what else we've got. How do we say this in Dutch, since you're the one who's learning how to report the weather?Ho do we say this? Let me give you a little hand or the full sentence, basically. Head is bevoed in head Osten. Did you get this one right? Head is bevoged in a Osten. That of course means it is cloudy in the East. Head is bevoged in a Osten. Finally, the poor people in the North in the city of Cronen had stormed in Head Norden. It is storming in the North. That's our Werbericht weather report for the OgtendF the morning. As any Dutch person knows, the weather can change quite rapidly. We make a different weather forecast, WbrichVdt the evening. Let's see where things have changed. This is a new weather situation for the West where it was raining before and now we have this situation. Let me help you a little bit. The situation itself is called mist and how do we speak about this in a weather report? We say it like this. Head is It stern. Head is mist in Western. It is misty or foggy, sorry, it is foggy in the West. Did you get it correctly? Let's see if something else changed in our weather report compared to the Ogden. It is now snowy in the North. How do we say this in Dutch? It is snowy in the North. We say this as follows, had snowed inhad Norden had snowed inhed Norden. So it is snowing in the North. That was our erbrich our weather report for the Ohtens and the Avon. Let's do a recap of the information from this class. The topic of this class was the weather or heat er in Dutch. The first thing we looked at in this class were common weather phenomena, such as Zom vogue, eigen, snail, mist and storm, meaning sun cloud, rain, snow, fog, and storm. Then we learned that speaking about some weather types, we say head is and then the weather type, head is Zhech head is provoked and head is Mr. Meaning it is sunny, it is cloudy, it is misty. Then we learned that there's also another way of describing weather phenomena. For snowed and stormed, we leave out the is, so we only use head plus the weather phenomena. Head agent, head snowed, head stormed. And they mean it is raining, it's snowing and it's storming. Then we learned about the cardinal directions North Ost south west, meaning north, east, south and west. Then we put all the information together to make a little weather report. Heat is Zonach IhatVstn. This means it is sunny in the West. Do you have all the information from this class in your head? Because this time, you're going to make your own weather report in Dutch, el success. Now, you're going to make a weather report in all Dutch. On your screen, you see four days and the weather situation on those days. Try and make a good weather report in Dutch, where you combine information from this class plus information from the earlier class on dates to create a good Dutch weather report, el success. Let's see if you've made a good weather report or Werberch in Dutch starting up Mandach so we see there is sunshine up manda. Let's see how we speak about this. Head is one up manda. Head is Zone up manda. Then Dinsta we see clouds in front of the sun. How do we say that? Head is bevokedU Dinsta head is bevokedU Dinsa. Now Vomsta Had ionedU Bunstag. We see it's raining and we say in Dutch, had isoned up Bonsach finally, Donderach it's snowing. So we say had SneledU DonderachH Sneled up Donderach. How was your weather report? On your screen, you see the weather in the Netherlands. I'm going to give you a Webrch weather report twice. One version is correct, and the other version contains a mistake. So the question to you is, which version is correct and which version contains a mistake? And also, what was the mistake in one of the two Werbichten? Here comes Werbricht number one. Welcome BerbrigtH is Bevogt in at Norden, head is Zhech in At Westin, and at stormed in AtauenFin itch. And here comes Werbrigt number two. Welcome by Webrigt. Head is Zhech in Norden, head is Bevogt in at Western, and it stormed in a ZoudenFina. Were you able to pick out which version was correct and which version contained a mistake? Maybe you were even able to pick out what the mistake in the incorrect Werbicht was. Here are the answers. Werbich number one on the left was incorrect. And the reason it was incorrect is because I said the following. That is, Bevoked in a Norden. So that means it is cloudy in the North. But as you can see on the picture, it was sunny, so Zonech in North. And there was another mistake, and that was he is Zhech in at Westin. So it is sunny in the west. But as we see in the picture, it was cloudy so bevoked in a Westin. I mixed those two up, Bevoked in the place where Sonny should have been and Sonny Zonech where bevoked should have been. That was the mistake. Of course, irbrch number two on the right was correct. Let's listen to it one more time, knowing the information that you know, to see if you can spot the mistake in the speech right away. Here comes Werbercht number A on the left. Welcome by Wierbrigt Head is Bevokt in at Norden, head is Zhech in at Weston and at stormed in Azuden. Find it up. Here comes Wiberg number two on the right. Welcome by Wiberg. Head is Zhech in Norden, head is Bevokt in Atwstn and stormed in a Zod Finag. Did you get the answers correctly? Maybe the second time you were able to hear it more clearly. What's better than practicing what you've learned in class in real life? Since this class was all about the weather, my suggestion to you is that you take today's weather report either for the Netherlands or any country of your choosing, and you write a weather report in Dutch. Of course, you can share this with your friends, your colleagues, or maybe some Dutch people if you know them. I hope you will make a great weather report using all that you've learned in this class, Vil Plessie, that means have fun. Et's see if you've reached all the goals. Our first goal was that you learn how to describe the weather in Dutch. Can you do that now? Secondly, you learned how to use north, east south and west in Dutch, bringing them all together to make a Dutch weather report. Have you reached all the goals for this class? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 15. Restaurant: Welcome to this Dutch class about going to the restaurant. In this class, we're going to go to a restaurant. The first goal is that you will learn how to ask for food and drinks in a Dutch restaurant. Besides that, you will learn how to ask for a table and how to ask for the bill. Are you ready? Let's get started. Let's start by learning some restaurant related vocabulary. On the left hand side, we see the Ober. The Ober is the waiter. The Ober hands you head menu. Heat menu is the menu. Same word, slightly different pronunciation. Menu menu. Head menu is up the Tafo. The Tafo is the table. The next one is easy. A restaurant is called heat Restaurant. It's the exact same word, but a slightly different pronunciation. Heat restaurant is the restaurant. We don't even have to change the logo on the restaurant itself. If you want to start a restaurant in Dutch, Restaurant. As you can tell, a lot of the words related to restaurants are the same or similar as in English. The last one is a bit different though. Head board and busteg. This means the plate and cutlery. Head board is the plate and busteg is cutlery. Since Holland is not known for a great culinary tradition, we've adopted a lot of other cuisines. The result is one of my favorite things about the Netherlands, namely, that you can easily find foods from all over the world. Some cuisines are broadly loved by the Dutch people and restaurants serving them can be found almost anywhere. Let's see how we speak about them in Dutch. Pasta pizza, gelato, who doesn't love Italian food. The adjective we use is Italians. Speaking about ten food, we say Italians Aten. For the restaurant, we say an Italians restaurant. The adjective to talk about Italian cuisine is Italians. Then we have Japanese, Chinese, Indian or Thai food and they're also very popular in Holland. Here we use Asiats as the adjective to describe these cuisines. Asiatsetn and an Asiats restaurant. Asian food and an Asian restaurant. Then we have a guilty pleasure that is slowly disappearing from the Dutch culture. The snack bar and this is the place where you get all your fried food. Finally, we have the Mexican cuisine. Speaking about this, we say Mexicans eaten of Mexican restaurant. One of the first things you have to do when you come to a restaurant is to get a table. The waiter asks us, Hurn Avon Hitu and Tavo Gezer fired. UrenavHf and TafoHzerwird. A lot of these words are probably familiar to you. Hurn Avon from the first class, meaning good evening. Then the question, heft U, and TafoGzerwird. Well, Haft come from the verb. Haben, which is to have U is the polite version of U and taf as we learned in the class on interior and this one as well, is a table. Heft U and TafoGzerfird. What do you think this whole sentence means? Well, we already figured out that he greets us with good evening Hur Avant. Have you reserved a table? Hazarfird is reserved. Have you reserved a table? He's asking us if we have made a reservation for tonight. We answer like this. NH and Tafo for today. Have and Tafel for tow. First off, we're saying no, we have not made a reservation, Nay. Then we ask had u and Tafel for tow. As you can see, the first part of the sentence is the same as the question he asked us, Had and ta tow is the number two, as you might remember from the class on count. Nah u and Tafel for T. What does this whole sentence mean? Yeah. Untafo for t means no. Do you have a table for two? If you want to ask for a table for two, you ask untafl for Tv. Table for two, quite literally Tafel for T. Of course, if you're with a bigger group of people, you ask Nta for fear of untafF yes and any number goes. If you're with a very large group, NtafFTnt which means 20. When entering a Dutch restaurant, it is, of course, important to know how to order food and drinks. For ordering food and drinks, we use the verb Bustelen. Bustelen means to order. The waiter comes to our table and asks us the following question featuring the verb stellen. At il Bestelen at build bustelenT is definitely one to remember because you're going to get asked this question if you go out in Holland, at il stellen. Gathering from the situation, you can probably guess that this means, what would you like to order? Vat Vil U bustin, what would you like to order? Of course, we have to give a response if we want any food or drinks today. We say, and this is, of course, also one to remember because you can use it a lot. Ig V a, and then we add punt punt punt, dot, dot, I Vil ha, and then you follow it up by the dish or Ig villa is also one to remember. When going to a restaurant or a cafe or a bar, you name it, you can order with Ig villa. That of course, means I would like, and then the name of the dish. Let's go to our restaurant of choice and see how we can order using these sentences. Here we have our manu. As we learned before, manu is what we call the menu. So slightly different pronunciation manu. We can see that there are different courses we can choose from. First of all, the Vohchten literally translated, this means before dishes. So these are the starters Vrechen. The Hfchten are the main courses Hfthechen. Desserts are easy to guess, but we say desires. French way of saying it, desires. And drunken are the drinks. Drunken. After we've checked the entire menu, the waiter comes to our table and asks Vatild Bestllin. You probably remember this one atldoh Bestllen means, what would you like to order? Let's see how we can order our food and drinks in Dutch. We use the same setup for ordering all the products. You use eqvira plus the name of the dish or drink followed by s and the name of the course. We're going to see some real life examples to give you an idea of how you can order in Dutch. First, the vor grecht. We order as follows. Ik via the tacos Vorrech. Here you see Ich Vil ach, I would like the tacos, the tacos. The name of the dish. As. That means four Vorrech that's the name of the course. So as a starter, full translation, I would like the tacos as a starter. Ich V Rach, the tacos Vohrech. Since we're very hungry people, we don't just eat un Wochrecht. We also want HfrechEgVazz, hoftrech. You see, it's the same setup. Egg will a pizza is the dish. As means four and Hftcht is the course. Egg razzHfrech I would like pizza as my main dish. After our tacos and pizza, we haven't even had enough, so we're going to go to desserts. KV and Asia Dak V a and Asia As D. Again, the same setup. I would like kV ra and Asia ice cream as As dessert. I would like ice cream for dessert. And finally, to wash it all down and frizz drunk, Is drinking hash lift. Here I'm playing with it because we could have ordered in the same way. Ich bill hah, f drunk. Is drinking. But of course, you can also add this since you're already ordering. N is and Fristnk is soda. As is as or four and drinking is drink. As she believed is please. We switched it up and we said, and soda as my drink, please. Frisnk drinking. Blev. After noting all of this down, the waiter says, Comte rn. Come n. Within the context, what do you think Comte ran means? Kumt Iran is what the waiter says. If he has written down your entire order, and it's like, it's coming your way. Kumar An. After your nice meal, it's time to pay. The waiter will often ask as Os nar n Voss, nar, ven this means was everything as you wished. This is what you will get asked after your meal vasos na vence. This is the moment where you can say whether you like the food and the service or not. We enjoyed it, so we answer. Yeah. And then we ask Mk the rekning Ahblift Mak, the rekning Ahblift. What do you think this means? It means, can I have the bill, please? The bill is the rekening. We get the rekening and it says we had tacos, pizza, and Asia and fristrankttu is f ancestor U five cesta Euro. You might remember this from the class on counting, five ancestor Euro, 65 Euros. The Ober Zech the waiter says Burton, five and sese uro pinon of contempt. We've also seen this question before, pinon of contempt in the class on going to the supermarket. Pinon of contempt. Do you remember what it means? I pinon of content means to pay by card or cash. The full sentence is that will be 65 euros, by card or cash. That word down five ancestor Euro pinon of content. As you might remember, the Dutch people really like to use their card a lot. We say, pinon A chift. That means by card, please. Then after paying, the waitress Ober says, Donk vel totins and this means, thank you. See you. Time to do a recap of the information from this class. The topic of this class was going to a restaurant or restaurant, as we say in Dutch. The first things we looked at was some common vocabulary related to a restaurant. The first one was easy, restaurant, and then we had Ober Tafel, menu board, and betak. Restaurant, waiter, table, menu, plate, and cutlery. Then we learned about some very broadly liked cuisines in Holland. A lot of Dutch people like Italians, Asiats, the snack bar, and Mexicans. The ones related to a country are adverbs. You can say Italians et, Asiats coke, Mexicans restaurant, for example, Italian, Asian fast food and Mexican. Then we learned about TafoRserv which means to reserve a table. In the second part of a class, we learned about the verb Bustelen which means to order. We learned about the different courses that you find on a restaurant menu. For chechHvt Ds, and drank meaning starter, main, dessert, and drinks. Then we learned how to order using a standard Dutch sentence. Ig Vil ha, and then you name the dish or the drink Als, which means four, and then you name the course. For example, Ig Vl ra, pizza, As, Hof. Then we learned that waiters Obers often ask, as As nar Vans that means was everything as you wished. Do you have all the information from this class in your head? Because now we're going to practice going to a Dutch restaurant and letting you order the food and the drinks. Val success. Here we have the Sha Daily menu. But this time, the names of the courses are blank. Do you remember the names of the different courses? See if you can name all four of them in Dutch. Let's start at the top left. We see tacos and Patt, and those are or Hechen Vechten. Moving down on the same page, we see pizza and Hamburger, and those were our hof echen. Main courses hof rechen. Then going to the top of the right page, we have theirs, theirs. And on the bottom, we have drunken. Did you remember the names of all the courses correctly? On the table in front of you, you're going to see my order appearing. Let's see if you can name what I've ordered in Dutch. Let me help you with the first one on the left. We start the sentence with Ig heap, which means I have Ig heap. We see dot dot dot, pinch pinch pinch lst dot. This is the structure we're going to use to describe what I have on my table. Ig heap and then we need to name the dish. Same way as ordering. Ig heap, pinchy Bench pinch, ls, pinchy Bench pinch, and then we add after the ls, we add the name of the course. So gap, s, and we can name all three of them. But we'll do the first one together. Ig hep patatOsFgreg. Ik heb patat As Fgrech. The dish is patat and ochregt is the course. Ik heb p tat, As Fgrecht. Now, knowing this, you can probably fill in the next two fill success. Let's see full order in Dutch. Ikat Frech that was the starter, and then we move on to the main. Ik heb pizzas HftigHbPizza, is the dish. As Hofcht the main course. Ig hep pizzas Hof ht. Then our drinks. Ig he frisnk As drinking Ig heap, frink As drinking. The frirnk is the name of drink and drinking means drinks in general. Did you get the whole order correctly? I'm going to order the dishes that are circled on the menu in Dutch twice. One version is correct, and the other version contains a mistake. Can you find out which version is correct and which version contains a mistake? Here comes order number one. Hello O, equa, Batt as Fochre Hamburger as Hofret and equachFri drunk as drunk. Thank you, Al. And here comes order number two. Hello, Ober. Equal a batt As Fogech Equila Hamburger, As desir, and equoraFriz drunk, As drunk. Thank you, well. Were you able to pick up which order was correct and which version contained a mistake? Here are the answers. Order number one on the left was correct. Order number two on the right was incorrect. The mistake that was made in the one on the right was that I ordered Hamburgers Ds. As you can see on the menu, Hamburger is an Hfrecht What's better than practicing what you've learned in this class in a real life situation? My suggestion to you is that you create your own perfect restaurant menu in Dutch. You can add all your favorite foods and maybe you've heard them in this class already, or maybe you can Google what they are called in Dutch. Another thing, in case you are living in the Netherlands, you could go to a restaurant and order everything in Dutch. Vil Plessie. Let's see if you've reached the goals. Our first goal is that you can order food and drinks in a Dutch restaurant. Our second goal was that you can ask for a table and also ask for the bill. Have you reached all the goals for this class? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 16. The body: Welcome to this Dutch class about the body. This class is all about the body. We're going to learn how to name the body parts in Dutch. Besides that, we're going to learn how to speak to a Dutch doctor about your health. Finally, you're going to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy activities and you will learn how to speak about them in Dutch. Are you ready? Let's get started. First things first. The body is called heat Licha in Dutch. Hetch. You're going to see two people appear on the screen. You'll see the name of a body part and a circle and arrow will show you where this body part is. We start with heat hot and maybe you can already guess what this is. That's a fun game. Before you see the translation, maybe you can already guess which body part we're talking about. Hethft is the head. Then we have the schwer. What do you think the shower is? The shower is the shoulder. Then we have the arm. What do you think the arm is? The arm is the arm, quite easy one there. Here are some more body parts, starting with another easy one. The neck. What do you think the neck is? Well, the neck, as you probably guessed, is the neck because it's almost the same pronunciation. Then we have the bot the Borst. What do you think the borst is? The borst is the chest. Then we have the bok. Which body part do you think the bok is? The bok is the belly. Then we have the hunt and this one is one on one, the hand. So it's probably very easy to guess. Then we have the hope. What do you think the hope is? The hope is the hip. Then we have heat bane. What do you think heat bane means? Head bane is the leg. And the final body part we discussed today is the ot the out. What do you think the Vout is? As you could probably guess from the sound, the Vout is the foot. Now that we know the names of the body parts in Dutch, let's go to a doctor's office and describe our problems in Dutch. The doctor asks us what is head pro blame. What is head pro blame. What do you think this sentence means? What I head problem is quite similar to the English translation. What is head probleme means what is the problem? The doctor is asking us what our problem is. Let's see what problems the patients are facing today. The first patient of the day is holding his head. Do you remember what the head is called in Dutch? The head is called head hoofed. The patient says, Ik heb hofdPain. Since we learned that hot is head and we can figure that he has a problem with his head and pain means pain. So we say, I have head pain, AKA, I have a headache. See if you can translate what problems the other patients have sing the image and the thing they're saying in Dutch. Here's the next patient. She says, I he bow pain. I heap bow pain. Using this sentence and the image, what do you think this translates to IHP, bow pain? Ik heb Bug pin means I have a stomach ache. I have a stomach ache. Let's see what our next patient is dealing with. He describes his problems as follows. Ik been erkudin. Note that the other ones, we use Hebn to have. Here we use Zang Ik Ben for Cowden. What do you think he is describing to us? What is his problem? Ic Ben Vacade means I have a cold. It's time for our last patient of the day. He says, I, he but broke. I he butt broke, and you can probably guess what this means using the picture and the sentence. Ich butt broke. It means I have a broken bone. Those were our patients of the day, all four of them, and we've learned how to describe common health problems to our doctor. Now that we know how to do that, let's see how we can prevent them. Let's see how we talk about healthy and unhealthy activities in Dutch. But first, we learn what the title word means. Asuntt is written on the top of your screen. This word is very different from the English translation, but it will ring a bell to people who know German. Asuntt means health we're going to review some activities, some of which are healthy and some of which are unhealthy. Josant means healthy. We're reviewing healthy activities on the left. Nozunt means unhealthy. The unhealthy activities will show up on the right. We start with something I love to do myself. Sportan. In a sentence, we say, Sportin is Jozunt since it's on the healthy activity side, you can guess that this means playing sports is healthy. Sporting is Jason, playing sports is healthy. Next up, we see a bowl of healthy foods. We can talk about it like this. Josanttn is Josant. This means healthy food is healthy. Makes sense. Our last healthy activity is Vater drinking. Vater drinking is Juzant. As you can tell, we name the activity and add is Juzant for healthy activities. Drinking water is healthy. Now let's see which activities are better to avoid if you don't want to see the doctor. The first is staying inactive, the Dutch word is similar to English. We say, in octivg is non excuse me. In octavin is un ozontT means being inactive is unhealthy. Inactive sine is un. The next unhealthy thing is Vt Aten, and we say it like this. Vt Aten is un husant. Now you know how to describe healthy and unhealthy activities. For healthy activities, we say the name of the activity and we add is HsuntF unhealthy activities, we name the activity and then we add is unsent Let's do a recap of the information from this class. The topic of this class was the body or as we say, head cha. The first things we learned about were the body parts, host, Schouer, arm, neck, Borst, Bug, Hunt, hope, Bain and Woot. Maybe you remember all of them, maybe you don't. It's a lot of information, so it's understandable. But here are the English translations. Then we learned about common health problems and how to describe them to a doctor. The health problems we learned about were Hf pin, book pin, rgoutt and Botbrk they mean headache, stomach ache, a cold, and a broken bone. Then we learned about our ozanteight, which is the word we use to describe our health. We learned that there are Josant and un hosand things. Josant means healthy and n hosant means unhealthy. Then we learned about some activities that are healthy Hosant. Sporting, Josantetn and ate drinking are JosantT activities are playing sports, eating healthy and drinking water. Then we learn about some unhealthy activities, namely in octavine and fat atan and they mean being inactive and eating fatty foods or fatty foods in general. Do you have all the information about the body in your head? Because now we're going to practice in Old Dutch to see if you remembered the information from this class. Val success, on your screen, you're going to see a few healthy and unhealthy activities. The first challenge for you is to name them in Dutch. Can you name all three activities? Let's start with the activity on the left. This is called Vater Drinken. Then let's move on to the one in the middle. This is called Sportin. The one on the right is called In Octav Zing. Did you get all three of them correctly? Now, let's see if you can make a sentence with each of these activities describing whether they are healthy or unhealthy. Let's again start with the one on the left, a drinking. That drink is healthy, we say that drinking is HusontVa drinking is Hosant. Then the one in the middle. Sporting. Sporting is also healthy, we say sporting is Josan. Finally, the one on the right, in activin. In octave sine is unhealthy, so we say, in octavine is masons. Did you get all three of them correctly? Here we see a man. Three body parts of his will be highlighted. Can you name all three in Dutch The first body part on top is the, the shouter. The second one is the bog the third one is heat bain. Did you get all three of them correctly? One of your friends comes to you because he's been feeling ill. He asks you if you can look up his illness on your phone. You open a website with information about common illnesses. He describes his illness with the following sentence. I Beruden Ben erkauden. Which of the four options should we select on the website? Ik Ben verkauden means I have a cold, so we should select Option A on the website. Your friend mentions another illness he's been having. He says, IC heap, hot pain. Ik heap ho pain. Which option should we select now? IkebHofbn means I have a headache, so we should select option C. Your friend is thankful for your help and says, Don't Quill. I'm going to talk about three of my own body parts in Dutch. One version is correct, and the other version contains a mistake. Can you figure out which is correct and which version contains the mistake? Try to also find out what the mistake was. Here comes description number one on the left. Hello. Akin Chris. D is mine hold. Did is my neck, and D is mine hunt. And here comes description number two on the right. Hello. Ekman Cris. Di is mine hot. Di is my bog and D is Minhmt. Were you able to pick out what the mistake was? Let's look at the answers. Description number one on the left was correct. And description number two on the right was incorrect. The mistake that was made in description number two was that I said, this is main, hoofed, correct. This is main, Book, incorrect, and this is main hunt. The second thing I said, while I was pointing at my neck, which is also neck in Dutch, I said, this is main Bk which is your belly in Dutch. I said, Bok instead of neck. That was the mistake. Did you get it correctly? What's better than practicing what you've learned in the class in real life? Since this class was all about body parts and health, my suggestion to you is a game. Find somebody that knows you well, and you can play this game with them. They point at a certain body part, for example, this and you have to name it as quickly as you can in Dutch. When somebody does this, you say hot. When somebody does this, you say neck, et cetera. See how fast you can name the body parts in Dutch. Have e. Let's see if you've reached all the goals. Our first goal was that you can name the body parts in Dutch. Secondly, you have learned how to describe your health to a Dutch doctor. Finally, you should now be able to name healthy and unhealthy activities in Dutch. Have you reached all the goals? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 17. To be and to have: Welcome to this Dutch grammar class about the verbs to be and to have. This daily dive is about the verbs to be and to have. Just as in English, they are some of the most frequently used verbs in the language. That's why our goal for today is that you learn how to correctly use Zine which means to be and Hebn which means to have. Are you ready? Let's get started. We start with the verb Zane. Zane means to be I'm going to give you the Dutch form of the sentence, then the English translation and then above me, you will see a sentence that you can form with this form of the verb. Let's start. Here comes the Dutch translation, the English translation, and then above me, the sentence. As you might remember from the first class, Ik Ben is the I form of Zain. Ik Ben is I am. Let's look at a sentence that's probably familiar to you from the first class. I been risk Ben Cris. As you probably remember, that means I am Chris. Ik Ben Cris. Then the second form, Yi bend. If you're speaking about somebody else, you use yi bend. That means you are. A sentence we can make is Yi bent person. Yea bend person. That means you are a person. Yea bend person. Moving on to and Zi is i and Zi is. Hi and Zi are he and she then the form of the verb, as you probably noted, is the same as in English, he or she is, i of Zi is. Let's form a sentence using this man. He is mum. He is an mum. That means he is a man. A mum is a man. Then we have the Zane, the Zane. That means we are. Let's see if you can figure out what this whole sentence means. They Zane Menson the Zane Menson. Zine Menson means we are humans or people. So Bazin, we are and non humans. Then we have ule Zane and this is the plural form of U, ule Zane. So we're talking about a group of people, and as you can see, they're all carrying Dutch flags to show their nationality. In that case, we can make the following sentence. Yuli Zein Nederlanders. Yuli Zein Nader Landers. That means you are Dutch. So we're referring to this group of people, you are Dutch, Juli in Nederlanders. Then finally, Z Zane. You can see that the Z, it means they, it's the same as the personal pronoun we use for Zai is, she is. The way you can distinguish which one is meant is by looking at the verb. If you see a sentence with Zi Zane, they're talking about they R. If you see a sentence with Zi is, then you know they're talking about a woman, one woman, Zai is, Zi Zi, a group of people. As in this sentence, Ze Zein Nederlanders. We're still talking about the same group of people, Zee Zein Nader Landers. There you have it. They are Dutch. Those are the forms of the verb, Zein to be, and a few examples of sentences we can make using this verb. Now let's move on to the verb HebnTH Now, let's look at the second most important verb in Dutch, Hebn, which means to have. We're going to go through them again. You're going to see the form of Hebn then the English translation right above me, you'll see sentences you can make using the verb. Again, of course, we start with the I form, the hep C heap, meaning I have. If you want to speak about something that you own or that you have, you use IHP. We can make a sentence like heap book, I heap book. This of course, means I have a book I hep B. Onto the next, you want to speak about something somebody else has, you use Ya heed. Ya heped meaning you have. And we can say, ya heed book, sticking with the book, ya heed book. Meaning you have a book onto hi and Zi He and she have. It might be a little different from what you would expect because it becomes haved instead of heed. He or she has i of Zi had. A sentence we can make using high of Zi had is Zi had and book. In this case, she has a book, not you, not me, but she Zi had. Then heaven heaven. Is we have. Well, I wonder what we have heaven Buchan. Because the sentence is plural, the book changes into Buchan, which is the plural of book. Heaven Buchan. We have books. Then le Haben le Hebn course, meaning you have in plural. Yuli Hebn Buchan lei Heaven Book. Again, we're talking about a group of people. That's why book turns into Buchan. You have books, le Heaven, Buchan then finally, Zai Hebn Zahben means they have. Zai Heben Buchan. Again, we're talking about a group of people and you can tell because the verb is Haben instead of have Zai heaven Buchan. They have books. By now, you're probably aware that as well as with Zain with Hebn the first three forms are different, so the ya, and he and Zee, they all change. But then the last three, Z, it stays the same. It's iHabn Juli Hebn Ze haben. It's always like that in Dutch. Same with the verb Zan izin Yuli Zain Zizine. That's a good thing to remember because it makes conjugations a lot easier. Now, let's practice the verbs Zain and heaven in the way you would come across them in the Netherlands. Dt is Emma. Dt is Emma. This means this is Emma. She would like to introduce herself to us. Hi been Emma. Hi, Ben, Emma. Here she uses the verb Zan in the first person, Ik been Hi. I Emma is the translation. Zai is an Vau Zai is an au. Do you remember what this means? Zai is Frau means she is a woman. Zai is au. She confirms that saying, Ik been Vau. If we are talking about her, we use Zai is Vau and now she's talking about herself so she uses Ik Bn Vau meaning, yes, I am a woman. Then we can tell that Zai Bu Zai had Buchan. What does this sentence mean? Zaid Buchan means she has books, as we can tell by what she's holding in her arm, Zei had Buchan. And she confirms that saying Ik heb buchen. Once again, the Z is for when we talk about her Zei had Buchan and now she's talking about herself. That's why she uses k hep Buchan. I have books. There you have it. A couple of sentences using Zain and Hebn in different forms. Now, Emma sees her friend Leonie in the hallway and calls her over. Now we can say Did Zane Emma, and Leoni because now they are with two people, we use the plural form. Last time it was did is Emma and now we say Did Zin Emma and Loni. These are Emma and Leoni. Now, Leonie speaks for the two of them. I Zein Emma and Leoni. Referring to Zein Emma and Loni, we are Emma and Leoni. Now we speak about the two of them. Zizinudent Zi Zein studentin. What does this sentence mean? Ze Zain studentin means they are students. As we can guess by their backpack and them carrying books, Zai Zain studentin. Speaking about themselves, she can confirm that saying they Zain studentin they Zain Studentin. That of course means we are students. They Zain Student. Now we can speak about something they have using the verb heaven. Zai Hebn Buchan Zi heaven Buchan. You can probably guess that this means they have books. They heaven Buchan. Let's see what they themselves have to say about that. Yeah, Hebn Buchan. Yeah, Bi Hebn Buchan. This translates to yes, we have books. There you go. A few sentences in plural where we also use Zain and heb. Let's do a recap of the information from this class. The first verb we focused on in this daily dive was ZN, and that means to be. We went through all the different forms, I Ben, ya bend, hey of Zi of head is, and head means it. Zain, Yuli Zain, Zai Zang those were the forms. Then we looked at some sentences we can make using the verb Zain. For example, Ik Benhris, I'm Chris, Zai is Nederlans. She is Dutch. Then we focused on the verb Haben, which means to have. We also went through all the different forms of Haben Ahab, ya he Hi, Zi heh. Hebn Juli Haben and Zai Heaven. Here we noted that the li and Zai form. The last three are the verb as it is. B ulibHbn it's the same with in zine, le zine SZine. Then we made some sentences using heaven, Ik heb House, Juli Hebn book. I heap and House means I have a house. Lei Hebn and Book means you have a book. So there you go. You've learned about the verbs Zain and Heaven, and now it's time to put that information into practice. Real success. Meet Yan and Yudit. Jan is going to tell us something about their lives using the verb Zein and heaven. See if you can figure out what he's saying all by yourself. Hi, Ik Banyan and D is Yudit. I Heaven and house in Utrecht. Once again, Hi. Ich Banyan, and is it y Heaven, and House in Utrecht. What do you think this sentence means? This sentence means Hi. I am young and this is Yudit. We have a house in Utrecht. First he's introducing himself and then his wife. Then he says, we have a house in Utrecht. Did you get it correctly? Emma and Leonie are back. This time, they want to challenge you by speaking only Dutch. They left out the correct forms of the verbs Zane and Haben in their sentences. Can you fill in the correct forms of the verbs Zane and Hebn into the sentences? Let's go start with the first. Did Emma and Leoni. The dots indicate that that's where either the verb zine or the verb Haben should be filled in. Which one should we fill in here? Here, we should have filled in Did Zane Emma and Leonie because we're referring to two people. That's why we use the plural of Zain. This is, these are Emma and Leoni. Did Zane Emma and Leoni. Loni says, dot dot studentin. What should we fill in on the blanks here? Since she's talking about the two of them, again, we need to use the plural form of Zine Zine studentin they Zane studentin. That means we are students. Then she says, Emma dot, dot, book. What should we fill in the blanks here? Here, we should fill in Emma had book. Since she's talking about Emma, it's one person and it's a woman. You use the Zai for Zai haved, in this case, Emma had book. Emma and Loni Buchan. We're still talking about the books. What should we fill in in these blanks? The answer is Emma and Leoni heb Buchan. We're talking about those two people, so it becomes the Zai forum. Zai heb Buchan means Emma and Leoni have books, Emma and Leoni Hebn Book I'm going to speak about the person on the screen twice. Her name is Miro. One version is correct, and the other contains a mistake. See if you can figure out which version is correct and what the mistake is in the other one. Good luck. Here comes description number one on the left. Eck BenkrisT is Miro. Miro is a book. Miro is a student. And here comes description number two on the right. Ick Bencris D is Miro. Miro had a book. Miro is student. Were you able to figure out which version was correct and which version contained the mistake? Here come the answers. Description number one on the left was incorrect. The mistake that was made in this description was that I said, middle is a book, and this is wrong, the verb zig because it says middle is a book and I'm about 99% sure she is in the book. She has a book. I would have to say middle had a book. That's what I said in description number two. Were you able to pick out the mistake? Time to practice what you've learned in this class in real life. My suggestion to you is that you describe what you are and what you have in Dutch. Then you take either a famous person or somebody you know into your mind and you describe what they are and what they have. Have fun with it. Let's see if you've reached the goal. The goal for this class was that you can correctly use the verbs zine and Hebn. Can you do that now? Have you reached the goal for today? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 18. Questions: Welcome to this Dutch grammar class about making questions. This daily dive is all about making questions in Dutch. In Dutch culture, it is highly appreciated when you ask questions to other people, because it shows that you are interested in getting to know them. Our first goal for today is that you learn the structure of making a question in Dutch. Besides that, you will learn which interrogative or question word to use in which situation. Are you ready? Let's get started. Let's start at the beginning. At the top of your screen, you see the word Rahm. Ahn means questions. This daily dive is about rachen. In earlier classes, we've seen some sentences with the normal structure. One of the first sentences we learned was Ik been Chris I been Chris. This meant I am Chris. This sentence has the normal structure of a Dutch sentence. It starts with the subject. Ik. Then comes the verb been from the verb Zine, and it finishes with the noun, Chris. Now let's turn this sentence into a question. A little spoiler. Two of the words, change places. The first word of our question is been. Our question starts with the verb. The second word of our question is I. We start with the verb and then comes the subject. The noun is still the last part, also in the question. So there you have it. Ben, Chris. As you see, when making a question, you switch the position of the subject and the verb. The structure of a question is verb, subject noun. Let's practice with another sentence, the sentence Zai Zai Hebn and House. Do you remember what this sentence means? It means they have a house. As you can see, the structure of the sentence is the same as with the first sentence. It starts with the subject. Then comes the verb and finally, the noun. Here's your challenge. Turn this question, excuse me, turn this sentence into a question. As we learned, the verb comes first in a question. We start with heaven. Then comes the subject Zi, and the noun is the last piece of the question. House is the end. Did you get it correctly? Another important thing to know when making questions is to know the interrogative words or question words. In Dutch, we call them rach worden. We're going to go through them one by one, starting with the word in Dutch and then the English translation example of a question made using that rach word, question word. Here we go. The first Vahort is at, and this one probably looks familiar. It means what? A question containing at is dot D. What do you think this means? What do means. What are you doing? Another a word that is commonly used is V V and V means who? A question using V is V Ben. You might remember this from the very first class on introducing yourself, been means who are you. Our third question word Fravort of today is R. What do you think R means? Var means where. A question we can make using where R is R is head house. Bar is head house. This means, where is the house? Let's dive into some more Frachwarden. Vanier means when. A question we can make is Vanier is head Kirst. Vanier is head Kirst. Knowing all the information from the previous classes, you should be able to figure out what this sentence means. Kirst is Christmas. The question is, when is Christmas? Vanier is a Kirst? Then we have who and what do you think who means? Who means how? We can say, at head. This is something you'll definitely hear when you come to Holland. Who hat head means. How is it going? Huh head. Then we have varum and varum means, why? We can ask varum opium ope that means why are you walking? And Continuing with two more very common rach worden. The first one is k Welke Velca means which. We can ask lke Stut is moi. Welke Stut is My this means which city is pretty? Then we have Hu V. What do you think u V means? Hu veil means how much or how many. We don't really differentiate between the two. We both use Hu Vail for how much and how many. Then we can ask, uv Menson hu V Menson. That means how many people. Let's do a recap of the information from this class. This daily de was all about ran. Questions. The first thing we looked at was the normal sentence structure in Dutch. K benhris. Here we see that the subject comes first, followed by the verb and finally the noun. Then we learned how to turn a normal sentence like this into a question in Dutch. Where it goes been khris. And we see that the verb move to the front and the subject becomes the second word. Ben Ik Kris, finishing still with the noun. Then we learned about interrogative words, question words or ach Warden in Dutch. And we learned about the most common ones at V Var Vanier what who, where and when? Warm ke and V. How, why? Which and how much, how many? That was the daily dive on rach Magen making questions. Now we're going to practice in all Dutch and you're going to be making some Dutch questions, Vil success. On your screen, you see three situations where people are asking questions. The Vachwarden, the question words are left out. Can you fill in the missing achwarden in each of the questions? SonenwkT translates to which shoes do I want? Then the second, BT translates to who are you? Finally, cotton heap translating to how many cats do I have? Can you fill in all the missing Vrarden? Let's start with the woman on the left. She is asking, which shoes do I want? That is ke Shun Vliic then the two men meeting each other. They were asking, V Ben, who are you? And the man on the right with the cats. Whoville cotton happi? How many cats do I have? Hu veil cotton happi? Did you get all of them correctly? Now as an added bonus, maybe you can answer the question on the right, the man with the cats. Hu ville cotton happi? How could you answer this question in Dutch? He's asking us the question, how many cats do I have? Hovl cotton, he I. If we want to answer this, we can say Yi hep dri cotton. Ya heed Dre cotton. Ya heed is you have Dre is the number three, as you can see in the picture and cotton is the plural of got they are cats. Yap. D cotton. Did you get all of them correctly plus this little added bonus? Great job. We're going to turn these sentences into questions. But first, see if you understand what these sentences mean. The first sentence in Nederland means we are Dutch. Igobsnll means I walk or I am walking fast, and it Fraut means he eats or is eating fruits. Did you get them correctly? Now that we know what they mean, let's turn them into questions. As we learned, a question in Dutch starts with the verb. If we look at the first sentence, Zain Ndons, it starts with the verb Zane. Then comes the subject, and the question still finishes with the noun. Zane, nadans. Then the second question. Lope I Snell, finally, eight H fraut. Those are the three questions that we could make with the sentences given. Did you get them all correctly? Since this class was all about making questions in Dutch, the real life practice that you can do is to make a short interview using five Dutch questions and you can either interview somebody or you answer the questions yourself. Val success. Let's see if you've reached the goals. Our first goal was that you know how to use the structure of a question in Dutch. Secondly, you can choose the right interrogative word or question word in Dutch. Have you reached both the goals? Thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been my pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 19. Comparatives: Welcome to this Dutch grammar class about comparatives. In this daily dive, we learn how to compare things in Dutch. Our first goal is that you can make comparative sentences in Dutch. Secondly, you will learn how to use superlatives. Are you ready? Let's get started. First things first. Comparatives are called Lichen in Dutch and you can see it written on the top of your screen. Un. There are many things we can compare and they all follow a similar pattern. In this daily dive, we're going to focus on two fields of comparisons, namely size and beauty. Let's first look how we can compare sizes in Dutch. Rot is what we call size, Hrot When something is smaller than something else, we say Kleiner done, Kleiner, done. Smaller than is Kleiner done. When something is the same size, we say NtrotosNtHrot, s, the same size as and when something is bigger than something else, we say Hroter done, Hro done, larger than. So as you can see, when two things are unequal, for example, Kleiner, done, or chro done, we use the word done. Kleiner Dunn rotter Don. But when two things are the same size, we use Neto chrotOs. Here we use ls. In the next example, you will see that this applies to a lot of different words when you are making comparisons. For example, shonhight which is beauty. Something can be liquor done, liquor done. That means uglier than. Here you see because they're uneven, liquor done, we use done. Then if two things are of equal beauty, we can say net Mos. Net o moi Os. That means as pretty as net Mos. You can see that when things are equal, we use s. And finally, when something is more beautiful than, we say more done. More done. Prettier than. Again, using done because they are uneven. That is how you compare rote size and Shnhig beauty. But these are just examples. You can use these comparisons, de ls and done with basically almost anything. We are at the Daily Museum where there's an exhibit of famous artists. We see two paintings that we're going to compare to each other. The first is the Stern nach or Starry Night by Vincent anoch. Yes, that's how you pronounce his name. Vincent anoch. And the other painting is called Hovort by the slightly less talented painter Chris Day. Let's first compare the sizes of the paintings. We bring out our rulers and conclude the following. Sternat is HroHoart. Sternat is HroHvart. With this example, what do you think this sentence means? This sentence means Starry Night is bigger than Hovort. As you can see on the rulers, Sternacht is ten centimeter, which is not reality, but in this case, it is ten centimeter, and Hovort is Z centimeter. Starry Night is bigger than Hovort. Sternach is Hroter Dan Hov. Or the other way around. Hovort is Kleiner Don Sternach. Hovart is Kleiner Don Sternach. This of course means Hovart is smaller than starry Knight. That's how you compare those two paintings on size Hroerdn Kleiner D. But even though it is subjective, of course, you can also compare the beauty of these two paintings. People can say Pachtch when they see Sterenach that means beautiful Bachch People seeing Hovort might say, Bisnder, which means special. This should tell you enough about which painting is generally considered more beautiful. Let's compare them in a sentence. Sterenach is Myer Hart. Sterenat is Moyer than Hart. This means Starry Knight is prettier than Hovort. Of course, the other way around, Hovort is elker Sternach. Hovort is Lelker Don Sternach that means Hovort is uglier than Starry Knight. That's how you can compare those two paintings using Dutch comparatives. Now that we know how to compare things, let's take a dive into superlatives. We use the same two areas of comparison. Rote, which means size and Shronhight which means beauty. We start with the normal word and then we see the superlatives. Let's start with chroot. Hhroz means big. When something is bigger, we say Hroter. Hro is bigger. The final level is ht Hrot which means biggest. Now let's look at the word moi. My means pretty. When something is prettier, we say moire. Finally, head moist is the prettiest moist. Do you see a pattern in these superlatives? The pattern is that the first level of superlative ends in ER, so rot Hroyer and that the final level ends in ST moist. That is how you use superlatives in Dutch. We're going to compare the rot, the size of animals to each other. First, we see the hunt, the hunt. The hunt is the dog. We can say the hunt is rot. The hunt is rot. What does this mean? The Hunt is rat means the dog is big. As you can see, it's a big dog. Then we have bear. As you can hopefully tell, a beer is a bear and not a beverage. We can say the bear is rotter. The bear is Hroter. We're comparing him to the dog and we can say the bear is bigger. The bear is Hro. And finally, the lipont. The lipont is the elephant. As you can tell, the lipont is the biggest animal in this comparison. The lipont is head rot. The lipont is head roost. Meaning the elephant is the biggest. That's how you compare these three animals to each other. Let's do a recap of the information from this class on comparisons or ergken in Dutch. The first thing we looked at was how to make liking comparisons. Kleiner Dum, Ava hrotOs or Hroter Dum. Here we comparing sizes smaller than as big as or bigger than. As we learned when things are unequal, we use Dum Kleiner Dm Kotter Dm, and when things are the same, we use s, pretty similar to the way the English do it. Another thing we looked at was comparing the beauty of things, for example, paintings, liker done, Ava My As, Moyer Dan, they mean prettier than as pretty as and uglier than. And you can see that the same rule applies when things are uneven, we use Don and when things are even, we use s. Then we looked into superlativn or superlatives. Hot Hroter Krotz, big, bigger, biggest. Also here we looked at the beauty of things. Mi moire, moist. Pretty, prettier, the prettiest. Then we learned how to compare different animals to each other, say, the hunt is rot, the bear is chro, the leipant is heat Hrot. The dog is big, the bear is bigger, and the elephant is the biggest. Do you have all the information on making comparisons in your head? Because now you are going to make some in all Dutch ville success. Our friends from the animal kingdom are back. This time, you are going to compare them using the superlatives. Let's start with the hunt on the left. The hunt is this translates to the dog is big. Which word should we fill in here? The hunt is rot. The hunt is rot. Rot means big. Onto the bear the bear is the bear is bigger. How do we say this in Dutch? The bear is rotter. The bear is rotter. Means the bear is bigger. Finally, the Olipont. The Olipont is heat translating to the elephant is the biggest. How do we say this? The Oliphant is. The Oliphant is heat. The elephant is the biggest. Did you get all of them correctly? Now, we're going to compare the Grout, the size of the hunt and the bear. The hunt is the bear. We're comparing the size of the hot, the dog, to the bear, the bear. How do we make a correct sentence of this? The hunt is cleaner than the beer. Cleaner, done. We say the dog is smaller than the bear. The hunt is cleaner than the bear. What about the other way around? The bear is the hunt. What should we fill in here to make the sentence correct? But The bear is Hroter D the hunt. The bear is Hroter D the hunt. So here we're saying the bear is bigger than the dog. Did you get them both correctly? If so, great work. And if not, you can always play back the video or just the part where this information is told and come back a second time to see if you understand it. No. In my personal opinion, all cats are beautiful, but some people like to rank them. Out of the competition, these three cats made it to third, second, and first place. Let's see if you can compare them using the right words in Dutch, starting with Mimi in third place. Mimi is and the sentence should translate to Mimi is pretty. The poke Bookie is translating to Bookie is prettier. And finally, our winner of the day, Martin. Martin is heat translating to Martin is the prettiest. Could you fill in the missing words here? We start with Mimi in third place. Mimi is moi. Mimi is moi. Mimi is pretty. Then number two, poky. Poke is Mier Pookie is prettier. And our number one, Martin Martin is head moist. Martin is head moist. Martin is the prettiest. Did you get all three of them correctly? What's better than practicing what you've learned in this daily dive in reality? Since this class was all about comparisons, my suggestion to you is that you go around your room and compare things to each other in Dutch. For example, you can say the Tafo is rotter Don the Sto. That example means the table is bigger than the chair. Another thing you can do is that you make, for example, top three list of places that you visited and you compare them to each other using superlatives. For example, utrecht is moi. Paris is Myer, Valencia is head moist. There I was comparing three cities on prettiness, saying utrecht is moi. Utrecht is pretty. Paris is Myer, Paris is prettier, Valencia is head moist, Valencia is the prettiest. You can do this with your own top three list or however big you want to make the list and compare as many things as possible. Vil Plesi. Let's see if you've reached the goals. Our first goal was that you can make comparative sentences in Dutch. Can you do that now? Secondly, you learned how to use Superlatives. Have you reached both the goals of this class? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 20. Adjectives: Welcome to this Dutch grammar class about adjectives. This class is all about adjectives. We're going to learn how to correctly use them so you can accurately describe things in Dutch. Are you ready? Let's get started. Get ready for a difficult word. An adjective is called B FujlNmword in Dutch. Just as in English, we put them before the noun. But there's also a difference between Dutch and English adjectives. Let's take a look. An example of an adjective is Kin. Klein means small. We can use Klein to describe a car. For example, the Klein auto the Kline auto the small car. As you can see, we've added an E to the end of Klein Klain auto. That's how you use an adjective in Dutch. You add an E. Can also use color as an adjective. For example, Hrun which means green. Sticking with the example of the car, we can say the run Auto. As you can see here, we also add the E at the end of the adjective. It's Hun Auto, not Hrun Auto. Here's what our Auto might look like. The Kleinna Auto, small and green car. To describe something more accurately, you can also use several adjectives in a sentence. The same rule applies here. If you use an adjective, you add an extra E at the end. To describe the car from the previous example in one sentence, we can say the Klein Hun auto. As you can see, we add the E on both adjectives, the Klein Hrune Auto, the small green car. What if we have a very different car? The adjectives we're going to use are moi. You might remember what My means. My means pretty and blow Blau is a color that means blue. We're going to use these two adjectives to describe this car. Can you do this in Dutch? As we learned, when we use a word as an adjective in front of the noun, we add an E. That's why we say the Mawer Auto. The Moya blower Auto. That means the pretty blue car. Did you get it correctly? As we learned, we add an E at the end of an adjective when it's used in front of the noun. Let's review some sentences with adjectives so you can clearly see the difference. The Auto is Klein. The Auto is Klein. Do you remember what this means? The car is small. That's what it means. You can see that Klein is at the end of the sentence, so behind Auto and that's why we don't write it with an extra E. The Auto is Klein. But then when we change the sentence to the Klein Auto, then we add the E because now Klein is in front of the noun auto the small car. That's what it looks then we can make the sentence. The Auto is Moi and Blow. The Auto is Mi and blow. As you can see, the Auto is in the front of the sentence and the adjectives Mi and Bu are behind it. That's why they don't get the extra E. The car is pretty and blue. But then when we change the sentence to put the adjective in front of the noun, the My Auto, they both get the extra E. The pretty blue car, the Moye blower Auto. That's what it looks like. Let's review some commonly used adjectives in Dutch, starting with trapechHtHopech, book. Maybe you can guess what he Hapahe book means. As you can tell, she's reading a book and she is smiling. A trap book means the funny book. Then we can say heat Laker Aten, heat Laker Aten. What do you think this means based on the picture? Heat acre Eta means the tasty food. Heat Houde pre heat Houde Hsprek. What do you think this means? Heat Houde Hsprec means the good conversation. Oh Let's do a recap of the information from this class. The topic was by PuchlgNamborden, adjectives. And here are a few that we've learned. Klein, Hrun M and Blau, meaning, small, green, pretty, and blue. Then we learned that if you put an adjective in front of a noun, we add an extra E, the Klein Auto, meaning the small. Or the run Auto when describing the color of the car, the green car, the Hune Auto. Or we could combine adjectives together to even more accurately describe what something looks like. The Moye blah Auto tells us that the car is both pretty and blue. We noted that both the adjectives get the extra E if they are put in front of the noun Auto, the pretty blue or the Kin Hrune Auto, meaning the small or little green car. Do you have all the information about adjectives in Dutch in your head? Because now you're going to work with them in all Dutch Vil success. Now it's time for you to use Dutch adjectives. You're going to see a child and his mother both with their own features. That is the zone, the son, and that is the Mud the mother. About the zone, we can say that he is Bla Bla means happy. The Muder is Trots that means proud. She's also Volk, which means cheerful. See if you can describe them using adjectives in Dutch ville success. We can describe the zone saying the bla zone, the Bla zone. About the Mutter, we can say the trotzV Uder. We combined the two adjectives, the trozVrolk Mud. We are at the Daily dealership looking for a new car. We have one specific wish I Vil and blower Auto. IC Vil and blower Auto. With this in mind, which car should we pick? Hick ville and blah Wa Auto means I want a blue car. Since there's only one blue car in this lot, we're going to have to pull out our wallets because this looks expensive. But the salesman says, Dese is perfect for Yo. Days is perfect for Yo. What do you think this means? And he's saying, this one is perfect for you. We should pick the blue car on the right. Since this daily dive was all about adjectives, my suggestion to you for some real life practice is to go around the house and see if you can use Dutch adjectives for as many objects as you can find. You can describe their colored or their size or any other adjectives you can think of Ville plesi. Let's see if you've reached the goal. The goal was that you can correctly use Dutch adjectives to describe things. Can you do that now? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class. 21. Positive and negative: Welcome to this Dutch grammar class about positive and negative. This class is all about learning how to respond positively and negatively in Dutch. When you've learned how to do that, you've reached the goal of this class. Are you ready? Let's get started. First things first, positively and negatively are positive and negativ in Dutch. You can see this written on the top of your screen. A question that can be answered both positively and negatively is uh hut head. This means, how is it going? A thing many people are surprised about when coming to the Netherlands is that people actually answer this question instead of saying, fine. Be prepared when asking this question. Some Dutch people might start a whole conversation instead of just saying, fine. Knowing this, let's dive into how we can answer the question. First, positive. Heat hat hoot. Heat hat hoot. That's a positive way of answering who had it, it means it's going well. On the other side, answering this question negatively, you can say heat hat, tut Heath, net hut. This means it's not going well. As you can tell, there's just one word added and that's the word Nat Net means not. One way of responding negatively is by adding the word net into the sentence, but there is another Let's review the other word we can add to a sentence to make a negative response. Let's make a positive and a negative sentence about bust, which means possessions. You'll see which word I'm talking about. Positively, we can say, he house, he house. Do you remember what this means? I have a house means I have a house. Now, when we want to respond negatively, we can say the following. I heap in house. I hep han house. That of course, means I have no house or I don't have a house. Here you can see that in the previous example, we used meat and here we use han IHP, in house. What's the difference between the two? Let's dive a little deeper into that. Thankfully for English speakers, when to use Net and when to use in becomes a lot easier when you know the equivalent of the words in English. Net is used in situations where the English use not. In Dutch, we use Net to turn the meaning of the whole sentence negatively. For example, when we say been Net Bart Ben, Net, Baromt we say, I am not famous. Shane is used where the English use no, and it's used for nouns. For example, we can say, in hunt. I Zhan Hunt. That means I see no dog. Here you can see that Hain is talking specifically about the dog. Chain Hunt no dog. Let's practice some more with turning sentences into negatives using Net and in. The sentences on the left hand side can be turned into negatives by adding either Net or in. Let's go through them. First sentence, Ich one in Utrecht. Do you remember what this means? Icon in Utrecht means I live in Utrecht and Utrecht being the name of the city I live in. Then we have Ik H feeds. Very important thing for us. Ick hp feeds. What does this sentence mean? Ik heb feed means I have a bike. Then we have Ik Ben lung. What does Ik Ben lung mean? Ik Benang means I am tall. Now, let's practice together, turning these sentence into negatives. Ig Von in Utrecht, turning this into a negative, we need to add Net because we want to turn the whole sentence into a negative. I met in recht I met in trecht. That means I do not live in Utrecht. Then the second one, Ig hep fit Do we have to use meat or hin here? In this case, we use SHANE because it's referring to the noun fits. Heap Shine fit IHP, Shine fits. This means I have no bike. Then finally, Bnang Ibn Lang do we have to use it or SHANE here? We use meat egg been Mat lung I am not tall. There you go. That's how you turn a positive sentence into a negative sentence using meat chain. Let's review some Dutch adjectives related to either positivity or negativity. Of course, you can use these adjectives in a variety of ways to describe your feelings or the situation around you or many other things. The positive ones are going to show up on the left and the negative ones on the right. Starting with Hut, and you've probably heard this one before, Hut, it simply means good. It's a common way of saying that things are good Atat Hut, it's going well. Fantastis. As you can probably tell, fantastis means fantastic. It's a very expressive way of saying that you're very happy. You can also say Prima and Prima means fine. Or you say top and top means great. Then we have another one that is very expressive in expressing your happy feelings, and that is outtaken it literally means sticking out. It's an experience that sticks out above the normal ones in that sense. You can say outstanding. Hut fantastisPrima, top outstaken all very positive adjectives. Then what if you want to describe something that is more negative? You can say Slecht and Slecht is the opposite of Hut, and it means bad. Slecht means bad. ReschT one is one level higher in the negativity, Freslk it means terrible. Then we have Ashelk. Ashlich is also quite a strong word, and it means awful. As I told you before, sometimes Dutch people, they like to actually answer the question, Huhted. How are you doing quite seriously. You can expect any of these. If somebody is having an amazing day or fantastic, they say, Hat fantastisO when they're having a horrible day or terrible, they might say Freslklech. That's how you use those adjectives to describe how you're feeling or how you feel about the situation. If you want to express that something is not just good but very good, we just have to add one word in front of it. This word is hal. Of course, you can use hail not just in combination with good, but in combination with a lot of different words. So let's see. We have the word Hot, which means good, but it doesn't really cover what we're feeling because we're feeling very happy, maybe. So then we say Hal Hot, and that means very good. As I said, it's not just limited to the word good. You can actually use it in many different combinations. For example, on the other end of the scale, Slecht, which we learned means bad. Then we say hail Slecht when something is going very, very bad. That's how you can use hail to put some more power, if you will, into your expression in Dutch. Let's do a recap of the information from this daily dive. The topic of this dive was on responding positively and negatively. Let's start with the positive responses, posy TV we learned to say he had hut in response to the question, who had it? This means it's going well. Also, we learned that you can say IH and house, and that means I have a house. Then we learned about some adjectives that express that you are feeling positive or good like Hut prima, top, fantastis and outtaken. They mean good, fine, great, fantastic, and outstanding. We learned that you can add hail to Hot or to any of these adjectives to make it one level higher, very well. Hil hot very well. On the other side, we also looked at negative responses, and if we want to turn the sentence heat hut negatively, we can say heat hat, Mit hut. That means it's not going well. Or we could say ICAP in house, meaning I have no house. The adjectives to express more negative feelings are silk and Ashelk bad, terrible, and awful. Of course, also here, we can add hail to give it some more power. Hil Slecht very bad. Do you have all this information in your head? Because now you are going to respond to certain situations and sentences in Dutch yourself. Val success. On the left hand side of your screen, you'll see three sentences. See if you can make these sentences negative Ig on in Utrecht. Ich Hep fits Ik Ben Lang. Can you turn these sentences into a negative sentence? Let's start with the first sentence. Icon in Utrecht, I live in trecht. If we want to turn that negatively, we add gone, it in Utrecht. Icon, it in Utrecht. The second one k hep feeds becomes Ik heb in feeds. The third one k Benang becomes k Bennet, Lang. Did you get all three correctly? If so, great work. If not, you can play back the video or parts of it and see if you understand it the second time. Let's meet four people in completely different states of happiness, ranging from extremely happy to very sad. The question we ask them is who hath? Can you answer the question for them using Dutch adjectives? For some, there are several good answers. Val success. Okay. If you need some more time, you can pause the video now, but we're going to review the answers, starting all the way on the left with our extremely happy person. Hut can be answered in her situation with fantastic and outstak both ways of expressing, being very, very happy. Then we have another happy person on her right. About her, we can say Hut prima and top. Those are all ways of expressing happiness but not extreme happiness. Then we have a boy who's a little sad. If we ask him hated, he might answer with Slecht then we have a woman who is really down on her luck. Those days happen. If we ask her hated, she might answer, Hail Slecht. That's Slecht but then much stronger, very bad. Askilk and reslch ways of expressing being very sad. Those are the adjectives to use in those situations. What's better than some real life practice after the class? Since this class was on making sentences positively and negatively, my suggestion to you is that you go around the house or somewhere in town and you can make sentences about certain maybe items or things that you do. For example, I can say khhlas then I put the glass away and I can say khhlas. That way, I made a positive and a negative sentence in Dutch. Phil plaisir. Et's see if you reached the goal. The goal was that you learn how to respond positively and negatively in Dutch. Did you reach that goal? I want to thank you very much for learning with me today. It's been a pleasure and I will see you in the next class.
