What’s more, the idiomatic phrases usually include an object or a phenomenon that is of certain importance to the Dutch culture. By knowing the phrase, we gain more context around the language that we’re learning, and learn little bits and pieces of the Dutch history. 🤓
This week’s phrases include the Dutch word for the cake “de koek” or the biscuit/cookie “het koekje”. “De koek” has a generally positive meaning, unless you combine it with larie-, klets- or l*l-, in which case it means something of little value.
