Lesson Transcript

Hi, everyone! I’m Thomas.
Hallo daar, ik ben Thomas.
Welcome to the Dutch Whiteboard Lessons.
In this lesson you'll learn how to tell someone your name.
Let's get started.
Let's look at the dialogue.
When I read, I want you to pay attention to how the person gives their name.
Find that part of the sentence
and see how it's used in the dialogue.
Hallo, Ik ben Jan de Vries.
leuk je te ontmoeten.
Hello, I'm Jan de Vries.
Nice to meet you.
Leuk je te ontmoeten.
Ik ben Vincent Visser.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Vincent Visser.
Hallo, ik ben Jan de Vries.
Leuk je te ontmoeten.
Leuk je te ontmoeten
Ik ben Vincent Visser.
Now let's look at the sentence pattern.
This pattern is used in our dialogue.
Ik ben [name]
I'm [name]
Ik ben [name].
Okay, let's look at the vocabulary.
First we have
ik
I
ik.
Next up is
ben
am
ben.
Je
you
je.
Te
to
te.
And then the set phrase.
Leuk je te ontmoeten
nice to meet you.
Leuk je te ontmoeten.
Let's look at some examples of other ways to tell someone your name.
Mijn naam is [name].
Mijn naam is [name].
This version is mostly used when you talk to someone on the phone.
Another one would be
ik heet [name]
Ik heet [name]
Ik heet literally translates as ""I am called"".
This sentence is mostly used by children.
And not by adults.
