| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Judith: Okay so what are these ‘orange associations’? |
| Peter: Oh you mean The “Oranjevereniging” (Orange Association) |
| Judith: Yes. |
| Peter: Well that’s an association that strives to keep traditions associated with the Royal Family. De Oranjevereniging is in charge of organizing festivities at birthdays and marriages of the Royal Family, of “het huis van Oranje” (the House of Orange). They do their best to reinforce the link between the people and the House of Orange. On “Koningsdag” (King’s Day), which was before Koninginnedag (Queen’s Day), the Orange Association organizes fun activities throughout the country. |
| Judith: The first Orange Association was founded in 1813. In 1930 there were approximately 70 Orange Associations. And nowadays there are more than a 1000. |
| Peter: Yes, they are very popular , like the Royal Family is very popular. The Oranjeverenigingen are made up of community members, and they are all volunteers. |

| KEY VOCABULARY AND PHRASES |
| Judith: Let's have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Peter: The first word/phrase we’ll look at is.... |
| 1: "de Koninklijke familie". In the Netherlands there is a distinction between “de Koninklijke familie” (The Royal Family) and “het Koninklijke huis” (The Royal House). Members of the Royal House are the head of state, the retired heads of state, and close relatives too of the King or Queen. Since 2013 King. The King is the head of the House, het Koninklijk Huis. The Royal Family is bigger. It consists of these people that I mentioned but also of more distant relations, like cousins , like nieces. That’s the difference between the koninklijke familie and het koninklijk huis. |
| Grammar Point |
| Grammar: The focus of this lesson is the past tense of strong verbs, part 2. |
| Peter: As we mentioned before there are two kinds of irregular verbs in Dutch, strong verbs and truly irregular verbs. |
| Judith: Strong verbs always change their vowel in the past tense. There are nine patterns of vowel changes and so far we saw 5 of them. |
| Peter: In the previous lesson, we already saw that “ij” becomes -ee, “i” becomes -a or -o. And “ie” and “ui” become -oo. |
| Judith: Now let's look at the remaining four patterns. |
| Peter: “E” becomes “a”; an example: breken (to break) becomes “brak (ik brak) / braken (wij braken)”. “Brak” is singular, “braken” is plural. So “a” is singular, “aa” a longer sound is plural. |
| Judith: That’s not the only possibility though. “E” can become “a”, “e” can also become “o” , isn’t it? |
| Peter: That’s true. “E” can also become “o” ; zwemmen (to swim) for example becomes in the past tense “zwom (Ik zwom - singular)/ zwommen (plural)” |
| Judith: What about verbs with “a”. |
| Peter: “A” becomes in this case “oe”; for example “dragen” (to carry) becomes in the past tense “droeg (Ik droeg - singular)/ droegen (Wij droegen plural)” In plural “a” becomes “oe”. |
| Judith: And there is one more possibility because so far we have 8 of these possibilities, 8 of these patterns. What’s 9th one? |
| Peter: That’s the alternative for “a”, that it doesn’t become “oe” but that it becomes “ie” (long sound);An example, “slapen” (to sleep) becomes “sliep (Ik sliep - singular / sliepen (Wij sliepen - plural). So that’s the alternative for “oe”, that’s “ie” |
| Judith: I think these would make a lot more sense if we would have some examples sentences. |
| Peter: I guess so too. Here come a few; |
| 1: Hij brak zijn been, veel mensen breken hun been als het sneeuwt. (He broke his leg, many people break their legs when it snows.) |
| 2: Ik zwem niet meer, vroeger zwom ik elke dag. (I don't swim anymore, but in the past I swam every day.) |
| 3: Vroeger droeg ik mijn haar lang. (In the past I wore my hair long.) |
| 4: Ik sliep op de bank, ik slaap meestal niet op de bank. (I slept on the bench, I don't generally sleep on the bench.) |
| Judith: Alright, be sure to review these in the PDF. |
