POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
Judith: Maybe this very stereotypical , the Dutch are all about flowers. Is it really like that? |
Peter: Well flowers are very important for the Dutch. Holland is a ‘flower country”. It is common to buy flowers for example at the market or in a flower shop for yourself or as a gift for when you are invited to attend an event, for example a birthday party. |
Judith: The Netherlands are famous for the flowers and export of flowers. The tulip is the most famous of these. |
Peter: Yes, but the tulips do not originate in the Netherlands, however; they didn’t grow there until the 16th century when Carolus Clusius was given some tulip bulbs by the ambassador of Austria. The ambassador had been given these bulbs as a gift as well by the Sultan of Turkey. Tulips - very European. |
Judith: It’s an interesting story to go from the Sultan of Turkey by way of Austria to the Netherlands. |
Peter: It’s pretty interesting but the Dutch are always famous to be everywhere also with trade. |
Judith: A famous place in the Netherlands to admire all kinds of flowers is the Keukenhof park. The park is unique, world famous, and has been one of the most popular destinations in the Netherlands for sixty years. |
Peter: Very much loved by Japanese tourists: |
Judith: Not just Japanese I mention. |
Peter: Not just Japanese and if you would be there you would love it as well. |

KEY VOCABULARY AND PHRASES |
Judith: Let's have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
Peter: The first word we’ll look at is.... |
Peter: "Hè" here means that the speaker is asking for confirmation. "Blijven we in contact, hè." is like saying "We'll stay in contact, right?" or "We'll stay in contact, won't we?". |
Judith: "Hè" is versatile though. It can also be used when someone is irritated. |
Peter: For example, you might say “Hè, stop” which would then be translated as “Jeez, stop it now”. |
Judith: "Moeten" (must) can be used without another verb in Dutch. You can say the equivalent of "I must to the market" and it is perfectly acceptable. The implied verb is "to go", of course "I must go to the market". |
Peter: The expression “ik ben gek op...” is a common way to say that you really like something. It can be used in combination with anything you want. For example "ik ben gek op koffie" or "ik ben gek op appeltaart". |
Lesson focus
|
Grammar The focus of this lesson is the numbers and "geen". |
Judith: Peter, can you tell us the number 0 to 10 in Dutch? |
Peter: Of course. Nul (zero), één (one), twee (two), drie (three), vier (four), vijf (five), zes (six), zeven (seven), acht (eight), negen (nine), tien (ten) |
Judith: And repeat those again? |
Peter: Nu ,één, twee, drie, vier, vijf, zes, zeven, acht, negen, tien. |
Judith: Listeners, remember these well! There's one more thing today though... |
Judith: You know that when we want to negate a sentence we use the word “niet” close to the word we want to make negative. |
Peter: But if we want to make a noun negative, that is, if we want to say we don’t have any, we use “geen”. |
Judith: This would be easier with some examples, do you have any? |
Peter: Yes, of course! |
1 Ik houd niet van bloemen. = I don't like flowers |
2 Ik heb geen bloemen. = I don't have any flowers. |
Peter: The "geen" takes the place of "not any" or “none”. |
