VOCABULARY PHRASE USAGE There are various ways to greet each other in Dutch. Hallo, very similar to the English "Hello" is often used. We also use Hoi, which is "Hi" in English. This is a bit more casual. For Example: 1. Hoi, hoe gaat het ermee? "Hi, how are you doing?" 2. Hallo, hoe heet jij? "Hello, what is your name?" Leuk je te ontmoeten is like the English "nice to meet you." A more formal way of saying this is Aangenaam. The full sentence would be: Aangenaam kennis te maken. For Example: 1. Goedemorgen. Ik heet Tim Jansen. Aangenaam kennis te maken. " Good morning. My name is Tim Jansen. Nice to meet you " We can translate Insgelijks as "Same here." You are basically just saying that you feel the same. DUTCHPOD101.COM BAS I C BOOTCAMP S 1 #1 - BAS I C GREETI NGS I N DUTCH 4 For Example: Jacob: Ik wens je succes. Jacob: "I wish you goodluck."

To ask someone their name, just ask, Hoe heet jij? Literally, this means "How are you called?" The first word, Hoe means "How." It is followed by the word for "to be called," in Dutch this is Heet. And finally it uses jij which means "you." CULTURAL INSIGHT Greet Dutch People Like a Pro When we meet someone we know we kiss the person on the cheek, three times. In general, women kiss both men and women. Most common for men is to kiss women and hug men. However recently things have been changing and I've seen men kissing other men too.

"Hello, Adam." "I am happy." Ik ben Nederlands. "I'm Dutch." VOCABULARY PHRASE USAGE In English we say “the Netherlands” for the country and “Dutch” for the language and nationality, however in Dutch we say Nederland for the country and Nederlands for the language and nationality. We use “Belgium” for the country and “Belgian” for the nationality. For Example: Ik woon in Nederland. "I live in the Netherlands.” Hij spreekt Nederlands. “He speaks Dutch.” Ik ben Nederlands. “I am Dutch.” Some more nationalities: Dutch English Duits German Amerikaans American Frans French Italiaans Italian Chinees Chinese DUTCHPOD101.COM BAS I C BOOTCAMP S 1 #2 - TALKING NATI ONALI TY I N DUTCH 3 Japans Japanese Spaans Spanish Brits British GRAMMAR The Focus of this Lesson is Asking Where People are From Hallo. Ik heet Jacob, ik ben Nederlands. "Hello. My name is Jacob, I’m Dutch." Let's have a closer look at how to talk about where people are from. In the dialogue, we used Ik ben. The verb ben changes when the pronoun changes, like this: Dutch "English" Ik ben "I am" Jij bent "You are" Hij is "He is" Zij is "She is" Het is "It is" Wij zijn "We are" Zij zijn "They are" U bent "You are" So if we add a nationality it can look like this; Dutch "English" Ik ben Nederlands "I'm Dutch" Zij zijn Chinees "They are Chinese."

CULTURAL INSIGHT A Life-long Love of Travel The Dutch love traveling; practically any place on the planet you go you can find a "cloggy." This is nothing new: it has been like that for a very long time. A long time ago the Dutch colonized countries all over the world including Surinam, South Africa, Indonesia, and Aruba, which are a few among a much longer list. In many places the influence of our presence is still noticeable in the language and culture.
