Thank you for making "het" & "de" so easy to understand! Is it possible you can explain the adjectives rule as well. I hope it isn't too much to ask.

Hartelijk bedankt ❤

Hartelijk, een gemakkelijke manier om de of het te leren 😊. De kerstboom, de luidspreker, de meteoriet. Het tafelkleed, het hart en het gommetje.

Vlaams Nederlands is mijn moedertaal, de appelsap klinkt echt helemaal verkeerd in mijn oren

very good video

Just for correction, it’s Het Turks because it’s a language , while De Turkse Taal is “ De “ because Taal is De. Because “ Turkse “ here is an adjective for the word Taal, and it gets an E at the end

De koe De uil De beer De wijn De vriend De zoon De zus De broer BTW I think het hert is another exception for the animals

[@dutchforall101]

Goed gedaan! And yes, you are right! 🦌 .... (There are not so many concrete rules unfortunately, so we will always find exceptions...) Thanks for watching! 😊

Hi, I notice that the "namen van talen" is under "het". But shouldn't it be under "de"?

[@CouldBeMathijs]

het Nederlands, het Latijn, het Arabisch, maar wel de Nederlandse taal, de Arabische taal

[@elaguilanegra4354]

Het turks Maar De turkse taal?

[@tequilarumble]

I saw the same error - they should correct the video!

[@gladfi2003]

@@tequilarumble niet echt een fout, maar een misverstaandje. Het turks, maar de turkse taal, omdat De Taal

[@s.yaqoub3764]

Sorry, u zei namen van talen "het" krijgen. Dus" het Turkse taal".

[@CouldBeMathijs]

Neen, ik denk dat ze bedoelde "Het Turks", net als het Engels, het Nederlands, het Latijn, het Groenlands. Maar wel de Turkse taal, de Engelse taal, de Nederlandse taal, de Groenlandse taal...
