Dutch: Common Problems and Frequently Asked Questions

'Niet,' 'Geen' and 'Wel'

'Niet' 2 is an adverb indicating a negative for a verb or for an adjective: a verb action did not happen or is not happening, or an adjective is not valid - usually 'not' or 'do not' in English. 'Geen' is an adjective meaning 'zero quantity' or 'it isn't there' - 'no' or 'not a, not any' in English. (The negative answer 'No' is Nee in Dutch.) 'Wel' is the emphasized opposite of 'not'/'niet,' - stressing that something did occur or is happening, or that an adjective is valid. English has no straight equivalent of 'wel' but can express that meaning with 'to do.'
't Regent niet Ik heb 't niet gedaan Ik ben niet ziek 2 3 4 Er zijn geen bergen in Nederland Ik heb geen hoofdpijn Heeft U bananen? - Nee Er zijn wel sinaasappels Ik heb het wel gedaan	It's not raining I have not done it, I did not do it I am not sick There are no mountains in Holland I do not have a headache Do you have bananas? - No (But) we do have oranges I did do it

Translating 'It,' 'That' and 'What' Placeholders

'Placeholders' are substitutes, short for something mentioned before or implied.
't eten - 't was lekker	the food - it was enjoyable ('it' = the food)
The English 'placeholders:' 'It,' 'That' and 'What' can sometimes, but not always be translated into Dutch as respectively 'Het,' 2 3 or 't - 'Dat' and 'Wat'
Ik spreek geen Nederlands ... 2 ... maar ik kan het wel verstaan 2 3	I don't speak Dutch ... ... but I do understand it ('het'/'it' = Dutch)
Ik heb het met veel plezier gelezen 2	I read it with great pleasure (it - a book that was mentioned before)
Het is te duur	It is too expensive (it - an item mentioned or looked at)
Ik zie het	I see it ('it' - the thing mentioned before)
Is het het waard?	Is it worth it?
Dat is een goed idee	That's a good idea (commenting on something mentioned before)
Doe dat nou niet! 2 3 4	Don't do that! Stop doing that thing you're doing!
Wat ik nu pas begrijp 2	What I only now understand (something that eluded me before)
De agent vertelde de rechter wat hij gezien had	The policeman told the judge what he'd seen
Find many more examples in the 'Disambiguation' pages: Het - Dat - Wat
But when the placeholders in Dutch are used with a preposition, they're often (but not always) translated as 'Er,' 'It,' - 'Daar' 'That' and 'Waar' 'What.'
Ik denk er vaak aan 2 3	I often think of it
Daar heb ik niet over nagedacht 2	I have not thought, I did not think of that
Ik weet ervan 2	I know about it
Daar moet je mee oppassen 2 3 4	You should be careful with that
Waarom? Daarom!	[What for? For this!] Why? Because!
Hij weet waar-(d)ie het over heeft 2	He knows what he's talking about
Waar gaat 't om? 2 3	What is it about? What is the important thing?
Er / Het - Daar / Dat - Waar / Wat - Another Look
Unfortunately, there is a small exception to the rule about placeholders and prepositions - but don't worry too much about it, it's unusual, not something that's said very often. You can say:
Kom er niet aan! 2	Don't touch it!
- but you can also say:
Raak het niet aan! 2	Don't touch it!
Looking at other examples, the difference seems to be that aanraken 2 'to touch' is a compound verb but that rule is not 100% valid, because 'aankomen' 2 (to touch) is also a compound verb. But you can safely assume that when the preposition is 'independent' 'het'  is replaced by 'er'  - but there are a few compound verbs that also take 'er'.
aangeven 2	1. 'to hand, pass,' put something into someone else's hands 2. 'to indicate, signal, mark' 3. 'to register,' file an official report.
Geef 't aan 2 3	1. Hand it to me 2. Mark it, indicate it 3. Report it to the police
geven 2 3 aan	to give (to)
Geef eraan! 2 3	Give, donate to it
Many Dutch verbs are compound verbs made up of a preposition and a basic verb, for instance achterlaten 2 ('to leave behind') and many of those compound verbs split up ‑>> in the simple tenses:
Ik liet hem achter in Babylon 2 3	I left him behind in Babylon
The 'placeholders' ''het,' 'dat' and 'wat' are used with prepositions that are part of compound words, prepositions that attach to basic verbs in the infinitive, but when a preposition is 'really loose,' never attached to the verb, then 'er,' 'daar' and 'waar' are the 'placeholders' used.
aanvoelen 2 3	'to sense,' to notice non-verbally, intuitively
Dat voel ik aan 2	I know that instinctively, it's something I sense (like one's native language)
Ik voel het aan 2 3	I have an intuitive understanding of it
optillen	to lift
Til het niet op! 2	Don't lift it
Ik kan 't niet optillen 2 3 4	I can't lift it, I'm not able to lift it up
Find another explanation and many more examples in the 'Disambiguation' pages: Er / Het - Daar / Dat - Waar / Wat

'For' in Duration

Ik zat een uur bij de tandarts 2 3 Ik was drie dagen ziek 2 Ze bleven een week in Delft Ik heb een paar jaar pianoles gehad	I [sat] was at the dentist for an hour I was sick for 3 days They stayed in Delft for a week I've had piano lessons for a few years
Only in the somewhat unusual statements when time is used as a measurement of physical quantity a preposition like 'for' is used:
Er is voor drie dagen eten 2 3	There is food for three days (three days' worth of food)
The correct use of prepositions is one of the most important parts of learning a foreign language. Have a look at the following 'voor' examples:
Een kado (cadeau) voor Els 2 Bloemen voor Elly Een kuiltje voor de jus Ben je voor of tegen? Een boom voor het huis Voor de oorlog De stilte voor de storm voor acht uur Het begint voor acht uur Kwart voor drie aandacht voor details Wees aardig voor dieren	A present for Alice Flowers for Elisabeth A [small] well for the gravy Are you for or against? A tree in front of the house Before the war The quiet before the storm before eight It starts before eight o'clock A quarter to three (2:45) attention to details Be kind to animals

'Of' in 'Units'

'n pond kaas 2 'n fles wijn 'n flesje water 'n kopje thee	a pound of cheese a bottle of wine a small bottle of water a cup of tea
Sometimes you can't use a literal translation of the 'unit' word, for instance Dutch says 'een stuk zeep' 2 3 - 'a piece of soap.' - More 'Units' examples
see also: Measurements, Dimensions
When it's not about contents from an indefinite source like above, but about a part of a clearly defined whole, like Dutch uses van 2 like English 'of.'
de helft van de bevolking twee jaar van m'n leven 2 'n rij van drie mensen 2 but: 'n rij bomen 2	half of the population two years of my life a line of 3 people a line (row) of trees
In similar-looking phrases that state the material that an item is made of and not its contents, Dutch does use van 2 like 'of' in English - for instance in hoedje van papier ('hat of paper, paper hat.') It might actually be easier for you to use this somewhat old-fashioned van construction, because these material adjectives often get an -EN ending.
het ijzeren masker / het masker van ijzer	the iron mask / the mask of iron
de gouden schaal / de schaal van goud	the golden bowl / the bowl of gold
de wollen muts / de muts van wol	the woollen cap / the cap of wool
het houten huis / het huis van hout	the wooden house / the house of wood
de ivoren toren / de toren van ivoor	the ivory tower / the tower of ivory
de glazen brug / de brug van glas	the glass bridge / the bridge of glass
de stalen helm / de helm van staal / de man van staal	the steel helmet / the helmet of steel / the man of steel
More on Materials
Of course, Dutch and English both often use 'of'/'van' to indicate ownership, belonging to, association, something specific or constituting elements. In English, you often see apostrophe-S for a possesive - in Dutch that's much less common. But when it's used, Dutchmen often incorrectly write the S with an apostrophe like in English - in Dutch it should be without the apostrophe.
M'n vaders vrienden De vrienden van m'n vader De mok van Piet 2 Jacoba van Beieren 2 De maanden van het jaar De dagen van de week De burgemeester van Amsterdam Het huis is van haar 2 Het zinken van het schip 't Delft van Vermeer De geur van dennennaalden Vrijheid van meningsuiting	My father's friends The friends of my father's Piet's mug Jacoba of Bavaria (Bayern) The months of the year The days of the week The mayor of Amsterdam The house is hers The sinking of the ship Vermeer's Delft The smell of pine needles Freedom of expression

'Nalaten' 2 meaning 'failing to do, refraining from' is a bit old-fashioned - but it can also mean 'to leave behind, to bequeath' (when you die.) In the next two examples 'na' seems to have been dropped:
Laat maar Als je dat maar laat! 2 3	Let it be, don't bother, no need for action ['Just leave that out!'] Don't do that!

'Heel,' 'Veel' and 'Erg'

'Veel' - usually translated as 'much' / 'many' (Dutch doesn't have that difference like in English) - or 'a lot (of)' is an adjective or an adverb indicating a large quantity, a high number or frequency.
Er zijn veel mensen ziek	[There are many people sick] Many people are sick
Hij weet veel van bijen 2	He knows a lot about bees
Er werd veel gesproken over vrijheid 2	[Much was talked ...] There was a lot of talking about freedom
We hebben veel regen 2	We're having a lot of rain
Te veel mensen met te veel geld 2	Too many people with too much money
- a lot more 'veel'
While 'erg' and 'heel' ('very') are adverbs that modify adjectives or other adverbs - indicating quality: a degree of
Heel goed, dank je 2	Very good, thank you (in answer to: 'how are you?')
Het houten huis is heel oud	The wooden house is very old
Ik vind het heel raar 2	I think it's very strange
Hij zei heel zachtjes 'ja' 2 3 4 5	He very softly said 'yes'
Een heel klein beetje 2	A very small amount
heel even 2	a very short time
Hij is erg blij	He's very happy
Ik ben erg moe 2	I'm very tired
Ze waren erg arm 2	They were very poor
Hij speelt heel goed gitaar 2 3	He plays the guitar very well
'Heel' in the sense of 'very' is a bit colloquial. In writing I mostly use 'erg.'
'Heel,' 'erg' and 'veel' can also be combined, but not in every possible way. You can say 'heel veel' 2 -or- 'erg veel' 2 -or- 'heel erg' 2 -and- 'heel erg veel' but NOT 'veel erg' or 'erg heel veel' - 'heel' is always before 'erg.' See also the Disambiguation: 'Erg' page
Het is heel erg koud 2	It's really very cold, terribly cold
Ik ben heel erg moe 2	I'm terribly tired
Er is erg veel regen 2	There's [very much] really a lot of rain
'Cowboy Gerard' in 'Het Spel Kaarten:'
Wat heb je daarop te zeggen? 2	What have you got to say about that? (explain yourself)
Heel veel 2	Really a lot, very many things
More 'Heel' - 'Heel' as an adjective can also mean 'whole, complete'

'Geheel' - 'fully, completely, entirely'
geheel in 't zwart	entirely in black (clothes)
(de) geheelonthouder 2	[person entirely abstaining] - teetotaler
geheel onverwacht 2 3	completely unexpected
More 'Heel' 2 - Occasionally, 'heel' can mean 'quite, rather long or big'

een heel verhaal 2 3	quite a long story
'n hele klus 2 3	quite a big job, a rather big undertaking
't Is een hele eer 2 3 4	It's quite an honor
More 'Heel' 3 - There's also a verb helen that can mean both 'to heal' ('make whole') and 'to deal in stolen goods.' The noun (de) heler can be both a 'healer' and a 'dealer in stolen goods.' heel 2 3 as an imperative can mean 'heal, make healthy.' In the sixties, Han Fortmann had a nice book about Eastern Mysticism with a title that plays on this double meaning:
Heel De Mens 2	Heal Mankind // The Complete Human Being with the overarching meaning 'make man whole'
More 'Erg' - Next to 'very,' Dutch 'erg' can also mean something like 'very bad, awful, terrible' - but it's not combined, 'erg erg' is not good Dutch.
Ik vind het heel erg.	I think it's really bad, I'm upset over it.
Ik hoop dat je het niet erg vindt.	I hope you don't think it's bad, I hope you don't mind.
It must be difficult for foreign students. I hope you'll learn the subtleties from much listening and reading.

To Be: Zijn and Worden

'To Be' can often be translated as zijn
Ik ben niet ziek 2 3 Is het ver? 2 Hij is oud 't Was een koude dag Ze waren jaloers 2 3	I'm not sick Is it far? He is old It was a cold day They were jealous
More 'Zijn'
In the perfect tense, English uses the auxiliary verb 'to have.' Dutch has the similar hebben but a small number of Dutch verbs take zijn as the auxiliary verb for the perfect tense.
ik heb gehad ik heb gezien ik heb gehoord ik ben geweest ik ben gegaan	I have had I have seen I have heard I have been I have gone
More 'Hebben' - More on The Perfect Tense
In Dutch, Worden 2 is the auxiliary verb for the passive voice:
Ik word geschopt door Jan Het huis wordt geverfd Ik werd afgeleid 2	I am kicked by Jan The house is being painted I was distracted
In English, 'to be' is the auxiliary verb for the passive voice, while (as we have seen above) Dutch zijn is the auxiliary verb for the perfect tense of some verbs. Adding to the confusion, Dutch drops the past participle of passive-voice worden in the perfect tense. Compare the use of verbs in the following Dutch and English sentences:
ik word gevraagd 2 ik werd gevraagd 2 ik ben gevraagd geworden 2 ik heb gevraagd 2	I am asked (for a job or to preform a task) I was asked I was asked, I have been asked I have asked (a question)
Hij wordt door een wesp gestoken! Hij is door een wesp gestoken geworden	he is being stung by a wasp! (right now) he (has been) was stung by a wasp
Hij wordt gemarteld 2 Hij werd gemarteld Hij is gemarteld geworden 2 (Ze hebben 'm gemarteld 2	He is tortured He was tortured He was tortured, he has been tortured They have tortured him)
Er wordt al zoveel gezegd 2 Er is al zoveel gezegd geworden 2	So much is being said already So much has been said already
More on The Passive Voice
'Worden' can also mean something like 'to become,' indicating change or development. In that meaning, the past participle is not dropped.
't Wordt donker Ik had schrijver willen worden, maar ik ben spreker geworden Wat is er van hem geworden? 2	It is getting dark I wanted to be a writer, but I've become a speaker Whatever became of him?
