| Today, we'll cover basic greetings for the appropriate time of the day. As there are a few to cover, let's jump right in. |
| In Dutch, the most universal greeting, which stands for both, "Good morning," and "Good afternoon," is Goedendag. Goedendag. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Goe-den-dag. |
| Now let's hear it once again: Goedendag. |
| The second word dag means, "day." |
| Let's say the word slowly now. Dag and dag. |
| Goeden, which in Dutch is "good," goes before day. |
| Goe-den-dag and Goedendag. |
| Goedendag is appropriate in both formal and informal situations. |
| In the evening, the Dutch say Goedenavond, which means, "Good evening." |
| Let's hear it one more time. Goedenavond. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Goe-den-a-vond. Goedenavond. |
| As we mentioned before, goeden stands for "good." |
| Avond means, "evening," avond. |
| Let's listen to the whole phrase once again: Goedenavond. |
| Goedenavond is appropriate in both formal and informal situations. |
| The most popular greeting among friends is Hallo, which in English means, "Hello." |
| Let's say it slowly. Hallo. |
| Let's hear it one more time. Hallo. |
| Another informal greeting is Hoi, meaning, "Welcome." |
| Hoi. |
| Let's hear it one more time. Hoi. |
Outro |
| Okay, to close out this lesson, we'd like you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for saying it aloud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so good luck, that also means “good luck” in Dutch. |
