Separable verbs in Dutch (Part 1)

[@patriciaitalia]

I am so happy to have found your site. I've been trying to learn Dutch on Duolingo, but I haven't been able to get past separable verbs. I've been stuck in the same place for months. Thank you for your clear explanation. I can't wait to go back and get through the section that has been my nemesis for so long! Looking forward to watching your other videos.

[@impatient_eternity]

Hey, how’s your success in Dutch after 7 months ?:)

[@AlexanderTracy-wx6ww]

Dankjewel, Alexander en succes! :D

[@queenmotherbug]

Thank you for this video! I've been struggling to grasp the concept of separable verbs and you explained it very concisely in a way that I caught on to quickly. The exercises at the end were great.

[@cleardutchgrammar8904]

Dankjewel en veel succes met de studie! :D

You are so good to explain the details. Thank you very much! Is it possible mention about maar, omdat, als want! Dank u!💐

[@meharizeregabr4819]

I tried the excercise and got 60% right. I guess it is a nice score for begginers like myself. The object in question-c though,,,it says light in the question and laptop in the answers. Well explained btw. Dankuwel.

Dankje voor de informatieve video! Ik heb er heel veel geleerd :)

[@angela-xp2wp]

FYI in the oefening 1, the question is originally "Can you turn off the light?", not "Can you turn off the laptop?"

[@cleardutchgrammar8904]

Ja, sorry. Mijn fout!

[@pelagiakorre868]

Heel behulpzaam video!! Nu begrijp ik de scheidbare werkwoorden!

[@femkadeduur5008]

Dank je wel voor jouw werk. Maar kan je meer video's te maken? Ik vind jouw video's leuk .

[@cleardutchgrammar8904]

Dankjewel! Leuk om te horen! De volgende komt eraan. :)

[@christodekock1772]

Scheidbare werkwoorden kunnen echt lastig zijn. Gelukkig hebben we ze ook in het Afrikaans. Maar ik heb wel een klein vraagje: is er een verschil tussen "meenemen" en "meebrengen"?

[@carmenutis20]

Brilliant 😍😍😍

[@governmentchihuahua4132]

Thank you! I couldn't make heads or tails of this from Duolingo.

[@axelladjouzi958]

Top ❤

[@rayastaritsyna6396]

Спасибо за уроки!

[@sasaluckyone7892]

I like you teach

[@MarcosLlemes]

Hello Ilke, I have a question. Why in this sentence: "Hij zegt dat je hem los moet laten" the separable verb (loslaten) goes separated if it's not the main verb. In that sentence there is "zegt" and "moet". I practice also in Duolingo, and followed the rule I learned from you, but this one I got wrong. I really apreciate you could explain to me. Thank you for your videos. They are an enormous help!

[@cleardutchgrammar8904]

Beste Marcos, bedankt voor je reactie! In jouw zin heb je 2 zinnen in 1 zin, namelijk een hoofdzin ('Hij zegt') en een bijzin na DAT ('je hem los moet laten.'). In een bijzin met 2 verba, mag je de prefix los voor verbum 1 zetten, maar de andere optie is ook goed.

[@rdpa4019]

Dank u wel!

[@MarchalFocas]

dat is goed😊

[@ChetanKumar-nf9ey]

Thanks for the video, its good. In the final oefening, answer for c starts with Kan not Kun :):)

[@howtolearnalanguage6772]

Beste Chetan, thank you for your comment. Kan and kun are in this case both correct. With this case I mean: using the second person singular and informal (jij/je) with inversion. Je kunt de laptop uitzetten. Kun je de laptop uitzetten? Kunnen is one of the modal verbs in Dutch.

[@familyfromhollandforever5264]

❤👍👍👍👍Top! Bedankt!❤👍👍👍👍

[@Daang]

hello it was clear to understand. but in this sentence "We gaan ons voor de cursus inschrijven", I don't understand the use of "ons"

[@guldenyuceer2749]

It is a reflexive verb : zich inschrijven. Ik schrijf ME voor de cursus in. Je schrijft JE voor de cursus in. Hij schrijft ZICH voor de cursus in.....

[@sarahpengelly8439]

I was wondering too...

[@sarahpengelly8439]

​@@guldenyuceer2749maybe not the best separable verb to use if you have not yet encountered reflexives ( which I haven't...)

[@susanineurope]

Eindelijk begrip ik separable verbs! Heel erg dedankt van zuid-korea

[@Igor_-_K]

Prima prestatie

[@siemhabtom914]

Dank u wel mevrouw🥰

[@yt-mca]

Topper👍

[@deviraju3841]

Jij maakte een goede video

[@karien77]

Why is it " het document" and not " de" document?

[@pascaldepester6976]

Because the gender of the word 'document' is neutral. All neutral nouns have the article 'het'.

[@cleardutchgrammar8904]

All words ending in '-ment' are HET. ;)

[@rifkhanhtc]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SojiroDeTenken]

Mooi zo, docent! :-)

[@adrianmorrison1425]

in the oefening letter (c) has a mistake in the answer

[@ilkaschaap4527]

Beste Adrian, thank you for your comment. 'Kan je ..' and 'Kun je ..' are both correct ;)

[@gabrielanghel4124]

ik wacht op de volgende video .

[@cleardutchgrammar8904]

Komt eraan... :)

[@praveengaini4054]

De trein komen om twee uur aan.

[@jafari5868]

Himmil, mag ik ook zo zeggen? Mejuffrouw Ilke & Mynhear Yaqub leggen alles oan Yasin toe. Namelijk yasin vindt 'Uit' klinkt eenbeetje zwaar.

[@kayratunc662]

Why is this language so hard?

[@JORDIIMusic]

Just need to go back to the basics. It's so much more consistent than English!

[@bilalsehait7290]

This is what they started teaching us at university. To be honest it's not that hard.hoewever, the way their are teaching us is hard. Plus they are only using Dutch language throughout the lesson.How do you expect from a non-native dutch speaker to analyze and understanding. Flowers to this wonderful channel making learning dutch mutch easier.

[@sarahpengelly8439]

​@@bilalsehait7290.. in which case get into a course where there is LESS Dutch immersion. Young children can cope with high levels of immersion but many adults can't. Things often have to be explained in one's native/ familiar language.
