| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Judith: When you move to the Netherlands you will be confronted with a lot of bureaucracy, a lot of forms and they can be quite difficult to understand. Maybe you feel a bit better about that when you realise that also the Dutch people have trouble understanding forms. |
| Peter: Also good to know that recent government policy has focused on the development of improved forms which means more in “everyday” language. The influence of language researchers did a lot of research on Dutch forms and the language that is used on it is clearly visible in this new policy. And also know that even if you have a problem filling in a form , people are always kind enough to help you. |
| Judith: So in case of doubt..ask your friendly Dutch neighbour like Paul did. |
| Peter: And that’s even more ‘gezellig’! |

| 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 we’ll look at is.... |
| 1: Naam = name; “naam” is only used when asking what someone’s name is. When you filling in a form, “voornaam” refers to your first name and “achternaam” to your surname. Literally translated they mean “the name in front” and “the name behind”. |
| 2: Just like the English word “birthdate”, “geboortedatum” can be seen as two distinct parts - “geboorte” (birth) and “datum” (date). Similarly, “identiteitsbewijs” consists of “identiteit” (identity) and “bewijs” (proof), so it's literally “proof of identity”. “Handtekening” is literally “hand-drawing” or if you want “hand-marking”. |
| Grammar Point |
| Judith: Particles are important because they add shades of meaning to sentences. |
| Peter: Some of the most common Dutch particles are “even”, “maar” and “toch”. |
| 1: “Even” shows that something is only for a brief duration. For example “kom even hier” (come here for a second). |
| 2: “Maar” is used to encourage someone to do something. For example “begin maar” (please start / feel free to start). |
| 3: “Toch” is more complex. It has two different meanings. It can show irritation “ga toch zitten” (go sit down, for heavens sake). But it can also be used to confirm something “je komt toch ook?” (you’re coming too, right?) |
| Judith: We'll cover more particles as they come up. |
Outro |
| Judith: That just about does it for today. |
| Peter: Listeners, do you know the powerful secret behind rapid progress? |
