Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How would you greet someone by saying "good evening"?

Answer: Goedenavond

Yes, "goedenavond" is the formal way to say "good evening" to someone in Dutch. "Goedemorgen" means "good morning", "goedemiddag" means "good afternoon" and "god morgon" means "good morning" in Swedish.

2. How would you say "my name is" in Dutch?

Answer: Ik heet

If you answered "ik heet" you were correct! The incorrect answers all mean "my name is" in French, Portuguese, and Italian.

3. Now a verb question. Which of these verbs means "to be"?

Answer: Zijn

"Zijn" is conjugated as follows: ik ben, u/jij bent, hij/zij is, wij zijn, u/jullie bent/zijn, and zij zijn. "Sein" means "to be" in German, "zitten" means "to sit" in Dutch and "spreken" means "to speak" in Dutch.

4. Question words are used to ask questions. If you are a foreigner visiting the Netherlands, you will need to know these question words. Which of these is not a question word?

Answer: Weg

"Weg" is the Dutch word for "road". "Waar", "wanneer", and "wat" are all question words, and they mean "where","when", and "what" respectively.

5. If a Dutchman were speaking to you and you didn't understand what he is saying, what would you say?

Answer: Ik begrijp het niet

In English you would say "I don't understand" and the Dutch equivalent is "ik begrijp het niet". The verb "begrijpen" means "to understand".

6. Which of these is NOT an animal in Dutch?

Answer: Het vlees

The translations for the animals: "koe" means "cow", "paard" means "horse" and "hond" means "dog". The Dutch word "vlees" means "meat".

7. "Alstublieft" means what in Dutch?

Answer: Please

If you want to politely ask for something "alstublieft" is the word to use! "Thank you" is "dank u wel", "all is well" is "heel goed" and I made up "Al stubbed his toe on a leaf" to help you with the process of elimination.

8. What does the question "Hoe gaat het ermee vandaag?" mean?

Answer: How are things going today?

It is very proper to ask someone this when you meet them. Expect the response: "goed", "slecht", "heel goed", "niet goed", "okee", "prima", "uitstekend", "niet slecht". And if you're having a terrible day, say "vreselijk".

9. Which of these ways is the correct way to count to ten in Dutch, starting with zero and ending at ten? (Look carefully!)

Answer: Nul, een, twee, drie, vier, vijf, zes, zeven, acht, negen, tien

I tried to confuse you by mixing up the numbers in different languages, Italian, Portuguese and German.

10. How do you say "goodbye" in Dutch?

Answer: Tot ziens

"Tot ziens" means "goodbye" in Dutch. In informal situations you could also say "doei". If you answered more than seven questions correctly, you will easily be able to communicate in Dutch!
