| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Peter: 1: "Pinnen" is an important word when you are shopping. It’s a unique Dutch word. It means "to pay with plastic money". The acronym PIN stands for ‘Persoonlijk Indentificatie Nummer (Personal Identification Number). It’s not exactly the same as paying with a credit card; in the Netherlands it is common to use the ‘pinpas’ (bankcard) even for very small amounts. Even for buying a bar of chocolate. |
| 2: ‘Pinnen’ was also used in the campaign ‘klein bedrag, pinnen mag’ (even for small amounts you may pin) and ever since, that was in 2011, people have begun to use credit and debit cards for amounts under 10 euros. |

| KEY VOCABULARY AND PHRASES |
| Judith: Now let's have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Peter: The first word we’ll look at is.... |
| 1: In Dutch we call all kinds of coats "jassen". But the word "jas" (coat) can also mean a long overcoat, a famous blue raincait and there are more words that distinguish the different kinds of "jassen". We can talk about who they are for "herenjas" (men’s coat), "damesjas" (ladies’ coat) or a "kinderjas" (children’s coat). But there are also "regenjas" (raincoat), "winterjas" (winter coat), and a "bontjas" (fur coat). By contrast, "jack" is a short coat, like a ski jacket. But there are lots of ‘jassen’ because in winter and autumn it can get very cold and rainy. |
| Judith: Next we should look at the word 2: "Toen" , this can mean "then" but also "when". Not “when “ like when you are asking a question. “When were you born?” is not a case for “toen” but "when I was younger" for example |
| Peter: Which in Dutch is "Toen ik jonger was". |
| Judith: So that7s an example when to use “toen” as in meaning “when”. We should also have an example of “toen” meaning “then”... |
| Peter: An example for that "ik was toen en kind" (I was a child then) |
| Judith: So "toen" can be both "when" and "then". |
| Peter: 3: The word "winkelmeisje" means "shop assistant" or "saleswoman". This word, like so many Dutch words, consists of two parts "winkel" (shop) and "meisje" (girl). A Dutch "shop girl" is a saleswoman. |
| Grammar Point |
| Grammar: The focus of this lesson is the simple past of the verb 'hebben'. |
| Judith: Peter, can you tell us how to conjugate "hebben" in the past? |
| Peter: Of course! For example like this: |
| 1: ik had (I had) |
| 2: jij had (you had) |
| 3: hij/zij/het had (he/she/it had) |
| 4: wij hadden (we had) |
| 5: jullie hadden (you all had) |
| 6: zij hadden (they had) |
| Judith: So this is considered an irregular verb in Dutch because "hadden" doesn't look much like "hebben". However, it is not actually difficult to learn. |
| Peter: Actually, it's very simple. In the singular you always use "had" and in the plural you always use "hadden". |
Outro |
| Judith: That just about does it for today. |
