How to use bij in Dutch

[@sindiosesporaqui199]

Sometimes I think I will loose my mind trying to learn dutch. But is the exact same reason why I found it so fun. No word in spanish has so many meannings or uses. Thanks for the lesson. It may take me forever to be able to use "bij" but now I know what it could mean.

You are welcome!

Dank je wel. I looked everywhere for a proper explanation and I couldnt find one. Bedankt!

Glad to hear that!

Hallo Allain, I keep on watching your videos everytime. Even though I am at level b1 still not confident to make sentences sometimes. I’m gonna ask if the €.99 for the membership is that you can have written exercises in all videos you made or only in a especific videos only , or in every video you need to pay ? Thanks

[@LearnDutchwithAlain]

Hi, I've made only some exercises for some videos. If you're looking for written exercises, I'd recommend you to buy my books: - Dutch grammar for beginners via Amazon: amzn.to/3AhKEOu - Intermediate Dutch Grammar via Amazon: amzn.to/3LLwNpY

Thank you!

[@CaptainSpock1701]

In Afrikaans we have the word by. Means exactly the same (even for the bee 🐝) So I find this one actually comes very natural.

Bedankt voor de uitleg.

Hallo. zou je ons kunnen uitleggen hoe je de woorden "überhaupt" en "op zich" gebruikt. dankjewel

[@LearnDutchwithAlain]

Hallo, op zich betekent 'in itself' en hier vind je meer uitleg: www.taaltelefoon.be/überhaupt-betekenis-synoniem

[@isolatiecellencomplexdevri2632]

At first I was confused by your pronunciation, but now it makes sense. You seem to speak Flemish.

[@LearnDutchwithAlain]

Correct :)

What does Zeg mean? when do you use it?

[@LearnDutchwithAlain]

'Zeg' is the imperative of to say, so 'say...'

[@francine644]

Thank you for this video!! Can you please explain the difference between 'bij' and 'met'? I can't seem to wrap my head around it. Thanks!!

[@LearnDutchwithAlain]

You're welcome, Francine. 'Bij' is 'in the vicinity of, near' and 'met' is 'with'. For example: 'Kom je bij ons?' = Are you coming at our place or in our team?, 'Kom je met ons' = do you come with us, are you coming along. Hope it's more clear now.

[@francine644]

@@LearnDutchwithAlain Yes, thank you. That makes a lot of sense. I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate that you took the time to respond to me. Thanks again!!

Do you have any videos with verstaan, begrijp, bedoel.....

[@LearnDutchwithAlain]

There you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6TEamOti5p4d5Y For verstaan and begrijpen, verstaan has a connotation of when people can't hear you.

[@clementekpo7606]

You make good videos

[@tetianatrofymets3318]

isn't it pronounced closer to English "bye"? (maybe it's different in the Netherlands?)

[@LearnDutchwithAlain]

Pronunciations are different in regions, especially for the ij. But bye sounds to me more like 'baai' in Dutch, meaning bay.

[@tetianatrofymets3318]

@@LearnDutchwithAlain thank you for your answer ☺️

[@tetianatrofymets3318]

@@LearnDutchwithAlain I just thought that vowels in "jij" and "bij" sounds the same. But it seems I'm wrong about that

Prima video zeer bedankt , ik heb een vraag , when I buy something in Albert Heijn when I was inside in this supermarket I can tell .. Ik koop iets( bij of in )Albert H. GISTEREN ben ik bij Aldi geweest of in Aldi

[@LearnDutchwithAlain]

Dag Mat, you can say both 'ik koop iets bij/in AH.' With geweest: 'ik ben bij Aldi geweest' it means 'at.' With in, it means 'inside the building of Aldi.' Bij is the concept, in is 'inside.'

hoi leraar, zijn allebai vocabularies bijna, bijnamelijk "almost" in het Nederland betekennen? wat zijn het verschil? zijn ze uitwisselbaar?
