| Becky: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "dining out." |
| Jacob: uit eten |
| Becky: Thursdays and Fridays are especially popular for going out to dinner in the Netherlands. A word often related to food is… |
| Jacob: lekker |
| Becky: ...which means “tasty” or “delicious.” In Dutch, the verb "to eat" and the noun "food" are the same word. They are both… |
| Jacob: eten |
| Becky: Whether it is a verb or a noun depends on the context and the sentence. Listen again - "dining out" is... |
| Jacob: (SLOW) uit eten (REGULAR) uit eten |
| Becky: Then comes the phrase - "with the guys." |
| Jacob: met de mannen |
| Becky: Note that this is only applicable to a group of guys. If you have a group of girls you would say… |
| Jacob: met de meiden. |
| Becky: It means "with the girls." If the group is mixed, you can say… |
| Jacob: met zijn allen |
| Becky: which means "with all of us.” Listen again- "with the guys" is... |
| Jacob: (SLOW) met de mannen (REGULAR) met de mannen |
| Becky: All together, it's "Out for dinner with the guys!" |
| Jacob: Uit eten met de mannen! |
