Endings and they usually have 't' in their verb forms except for a very few exceptions. For
example
It is = het is
( there is no 't' at the end)

Rule: Graag
In her Nederlands when you say you like doing something you,
"to enjoy doing something",
"to like doing something" basically say
"You do things gladly"-OR"You do things with pleasure"
The word that goes with the Verb that you like to do is "GRAAG"

Tip: - Remember in Question form - there is no "graag" as you never ask in English "do you want gladly" water? - No never
"Graag" comes in the answers
Do you all want something to drink-ORWould you all want something to drink
I would like to do it

Tip: Because
We are now going to discuss another word for "Because" which is more widely used and spoken.
From now-onwards this new word will be used for "Because"
Because = Omdat
Tip: Because
Omdat
Because = Omdat
"Omdat" is widely used and preferred.
Now "Omdat" sends all the verbs that come after it to the end. This is very important.
For example when you say
Because I am tired
[DUTCH EQUIVALENT] Because I tired am
Omdat Ik moe Ben
Tip:- no need to add "E" here. It doesn't apply here
Because it is good
Because it is warm
Because it is cold

[Trigger Verb]

Disc # 5
He needs it today
Busy = druk
druk
Tip:-
This is a bit tricky with "Omdat" effect it only throws the Verb at the end. It does not change it in any way.
Whatever the verb normally comes the form is not changed. It just gets to the end
E.g.
I can't do it today because I am busy
Ik kan het vandaag niet doen Omdat Ik het druk heb
I want to have it now because I need it
Cost = kosten
kosten
It costs
Het kost
Hoe veel
What time are you coming / what time you going to be here
When = Wanneer
Wanneer
Waneer beginnen we
Waneer komt Ze
Wanneer belt ze
Rule:- Omdat effect on all Question types when come in the middle
Up until now we have used "When" in the Question form
However "When" also comes in the middle of the sentence and when (When/Wanneer) is not in the Question form then it
has the same popular "Omdat" effect it throws all the verbs to the end.
Rule:- Omdat effect on all Question types when come in the middle
Now all these "Question Types" when come in the middle they all have the same "Omdat" effect which means they
throw all the verbs to the end.
E.g.
What time = hoe laat
How much/how many = hoeveel
Why = Waroom
Some Question Forms
I want to know how much?
I want to know Why?
Etc
Can you tell me how much it costs
I know how it is
Wie
Who's there
Wie is daar?
Who is that
Wie is dat
Rule:- Omdat effect on all Question types when come in the middle
Tip: all the interogative's "Question words have the "Omdat" effect when comes in the middle
Where = Waar
Why = Wie
How = Hoe
When = Waneer
What = Wat
How much = hoeveel
What time = hoe laat
Hope = Hop
That = Dat/Die
Rule:- Special Trigger Verb it throws all the verbs to the end
Rule:- Mag ik is widely used in Dutch context
Mag also belongs to the Special Trigger Verb Group
May I = Mag Ik
This verb form is not used much in English however it's
very much used it Dutch.
It's the part of Special Trigger verbs
May I do it
I am not allowed to do it
He is not allowed to do it
Is it allowed
Mag Ik
Is that allowed
Mag dat
Tip:In English "May I" is rarely used however in Dutch it's preferred e.g
In English, we don't use
May I have a coffee
We say
Can I have a coffee
But in Dutch it's preferred or used mostly
Tip:Remember "MAG" never gets a "t" as it's a part of special trigger verbs
Ik mag
Hij mag
Je (Informal) mag
U (formal) mag
You (Formal) are allowed to have it
U mag het hebben
He is not allowed to have it

To ask = vragen
Question = vrag
Easy/makeable/disable = makkelijk

Het is nieuw

Dutch phenomen:Making things more friendly and in a way polite is adding "a little" to many things

Vrag = vragje
Meaning
A little question = vragje
House = huis
A little house = een huisje
