Casual Basic Phrases

It is nice to be able to order food (somewhat) in Dutch, but when my family went across the street to meet our neighbors, it would have been nice to be able to know some casual phrases. These phrases will save you in times of need, (if you ever happen to need them) and besides, by using some dutch words, you can annoy your:

  • classmates
  • siblings
  • spouse
  • parents
  • children
and much much more! The possibilities are endless!

Some phrases are:

geen dank (heen donk) = (you're welcome) Don't mention it.

Waar is de WC? (Vare is duh vay-say?) = Where is the Water Closet? (toilet)

Nee, donk je (nay, donk, yuh) = No, Thanks

Ja, Graag (yaw grog) = Yes, Please

Het Spijt meh (het spite muh) = Sorry
