from Dutch Speaking Academy - Speak Dutch with Confidence · host Mariska van der Meij

Transcript? Die vind je hier!In Nederland hoor je overal “jij” en “u”, maar wanneer gebruik je welke vorm? In deze aflevering leg ik je op een simpele manier uit:- wanneer je “u” gebruikt- wanneer je gewoon “jij” kan zeggen- dat Nederlanders helemaal niet zo formeel zijn- en waarom “zeg maar jij hoor” zo’n belangrijke Nederlandse zin is.Je leert ook iets over de Nederlandse cultuur: de doe-maar-normaal-mentaliteit (just act normal mentality), de gelijkheid (equality) en waarom Nederlanders soms zelfs liever hebben dat je “jij” zegt.Gebruik jij meestal “u” of “jij”? En vind jij dit moeilijk in het Nederlands?Laat het me weten in de comments!x MariskaPS.
