I don't know where to place it therefore I have chosen this topic in this sub-fora(or how you call it?) to give mine lessons of the Dutch language.

The First Lesson

The Netherlands: Nederlands
Belgium: België
Flanders: Vlaanderen(the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium).

I: Ik
You:
It: het
He/she: hij/zij
We: wij
They: zij

Homework: study! Study and study!

Thank you for your first lesson in Dutch. I have often wished to learn some of your language, so am glad for the opportunity. And, yes, this is the perfect place for your class in language.

Okay, in the future I will place my other lessons(of Dutch) here.

We will learn to make sentences and maybe there will come exams too.

Dutch is an difficult language therefore you must listen very carefully, because I say this only once(from 'Allo 'Allo :) ).

Now in Dutch:

In een plaats genaamd Vertigo!


The word in italic means: called.

Ehh, good for a beginning student ;)

My name is Richard
Mijn naam is Richard or Ik noem Richard

I live in a place called Sweden
Ik leef in een plaats genaamd Zweden or Ik woon in een plaats genaamd Zweden.

to live is wonen:
ik woon I live
jij woont you live
hij/zij woont He/she lives
wij wonen they live
jullie wonen you live(plural!)
zij wonen they live

To live means also leven in Dutch but in sentences as: I live!
Wonen is for sentences as: I live in Germany.


Plaats = place(not so difficult ;) )

Ik woon in Zweeden. Jij woont in Vlaanderen. Wij wonen in Europa.

HypatiasMom woont in Kalifornie (?). Braden woont in New York. Zij wonen in Amerika.

Hmm... I'm sure I made something wrong there.

The numbers

1: een(or één, this is mostly used to know the pronouncement)

We use 'één' in sentences like:
There is one channel on TV(my God! :o )
Er is één zender op TV.

We use 'een' in sentences like:
We have one car.
We hebben één auto.
We are to lazy to write één therefore it isn't terrible if you don't write it so(the most of us don't do it to ;) ).
--------
2: twee
3: drie
4: vier
5: vijf
6: zes
7: zeven
8: acht
9: negen
10: tien
11: elf
12: twaalf
13: dertien
14: veertien
From now, it's easy:
15: vijftien
16: zestien
17: zeventien
18: achttien
19: negentien
20: twintig(difficult?)
21: eenentwintig
22: tweeëntwintig
23: drieëntwintig
...
30: dertig
40: veertig
50: vijftig
60: zestig
70: zeventig
80: tachtig
90: negentig
100: honderd(no, not hunderd)

And a new word to understand :) :
Explosives: explosieven

Okay, I admit it. I am stupid. Braden's screenname does say where he lives. Duh! *hits head*

Okay... hmm...

We hebben zeven explosieven. Ik hebb (?) een plaats.

Is this right?

Ik heb
Jij hebt
Hij hebt
Wij hebben
Jullie hebben
Zij hebben
