will be given in the word list. Woorden 1 ‘Jarig’ is a word that doesn’t exist
in English. Here are some sample
sentences to explain its use:
Nederlands English
Ik ben jarig
= It’s my birthday.
doen (deed, deden, gedaan) to do Hij is morgen jarig.
de uitnodiging (uitnodigingen) the invitation = Tomorrow is his birthday.
Gisteren was jij jarig.
voor for, before = Yesterday was your birthday.
9.25 uur vijf voor half tien 9.03 uur drie minuten over
Mindnegen
the position of the apostrophe
and the extra -s at the end, but for
9.30 uur half tien 9.28 uur twee minuten voor half about
now forget tien the grammar
behind it.
The Dutch system for telling the time differs from the English way mainly in the way we deal
with half hours. We name the ‘half hour’ after the next hour, not after the previous one.
Between 20 and 40 minutes past an hour, minutes are calculated to or from the half hour.
When the minutes are a multiple of 5, the word ‘minuten’ (minutes) is usually omitted. The
word ‘uur’ is necessary where you can omit o’clock in English: at twelve = om twaalf uur
But if you read the story again, you will see that Mirjam didn’t use this verb at
all. The truth is that we mainly use zullen for promises or proposals and not to
express the normal future tense.
Then how do we talk about the future in Dutch?
Grammatica
Future tense
Consider this sentence: Tomorrow I will eat cake.
Using zullen, you would get ‘Morgen zal ik taart eten’, but if you say it like this, it sounds like a
promise, rather than a colloquial sentence.
The easiest way to express future in Dutch is by just using the present tense and a word like
morgen (=tomorrow) to express future ‘Morgen eet ik taart’.
Another way of saying this is by using the verb gaan: ‘Morgen ga ik taart eten’. This is
comparable with using ‘I’m going to…’ in English.
Now let’s have a look at some sentences from the story:
*Note that ga is the main verb here, not an auxiliary verb for the future tense. The normal present tense
would be ‘Ik ga naar de winkel’, but ‘Ik koop koekjes’.
