POST
Becky: Listen again to Jan's post.
Jacob: Uit eten met de mannen!
Becky: "Out for dinner with the guys!"
Jacob: (SLOW) Uit eten met de mannen! (Regular) Uit eten met de mannen!
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!
