A Basic Guide to Understanding Dutch

[Zweaplight]

Since I guess a lot of people who don't speak a single word of Dutch will go to see the show, I made a little useful guide you can use to understand the show better and to get around in The Netherlands.

If I made a mistake, please feel free to correct me. Same goes for suggestions, of you think a certain word should be in the vocabulary list or a certain verb should be in the verbs list, please feel free to tell me!

You can download the guide here, I'll try to update it as much and as quick as possible: http://www.mediafire.com/view/kevkdziz3 ... +Guide.pdf

Bedankt voor de moeite om de juiste woorden en zinnen samen te stellen.

Very much appreciated.

Grandma (Oma) is only referred as opoe ( pronounced opoo).

[Zweaplight]

So, I updated the file, do you know the titles of the the other songs by any chance?

Yes I do. The playbill is even more comprehensive than the larger sized program of the other productions.

Thanks a lot, Zweaplight! This is very useful.
Now I'm prepared to watch the show

Just one question regarding to the verb "hebben". Are the 2nd and 3rd plural forms really "zijn"? I would have thought it would be "hebben", since the plural forms were always the same for the other verbs...Probably just a typo Anyway, thanks a lot for your effort, it's very much appreciated.

[Zweaplight]

Yeah, that's actually wrong, I changed it and uploaded a new version!

If you need to know anything else about the Dutch language, I'll be happy to help you.

One word I heard a few times was 'hoefter' (sp?)

I'm assuming it's a swear word - can you transate?!

[onceagain]

Hufter! That basically means 'b*st*rd' or '***hole'.

Edited...

Opa should be translated as Grandpa.
