For example, in the context of "public transport" such as bus, tram, train, subway transportation. Here is a sentence from De Telegraaf from two days ago about the public transport strike: "Op deze dagen is er tussen de ochtend- en avondspits geen openbaar vervoer." "On these days is there between morning and evening rush hour no public transport" 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

They mean the same but 'vaak' occurs more frequently.

Do you think that also applies for the verb 'vervoeren', or is the usage for 'vervoerd' associated with your 'primarily'? For example, I noticed these two sentences in De Telegraaf: "Het aantal passagiers dat luchtvaartmaatschappij Air France-KLM vervoerd heeft, is in september opnieuw flink gedaald." "Air France-KLM heeft in februari minder vracht vervoerd dan een jaar eerder." 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes, you can definitely use 'vervoeren' for objects as well. The word "vrachtvervoer" gets a lot more hits on google than "vrachttransport". I guess I was a bit too decisive in drawing the line because transport is also used for people sometimes. I just really dislike it because you'll find that most of the time this has a negative context. It's often used in contexts like WWII deportations and slave trade, so when people are being transported against their will. I'm not sure if this negative association is shared by other Dutch speakers but speaking for myself, I'd try to avoid using the word 'transport' when referring to people.

I think it is the correct word to use these days for airline travel, considering all the inhumane treatment passengers get. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I was using Pimsleur "Dutch With Ease" but after many lessons, it really bores... I have no excitement in listening to those dialogs, Perhaps because every lesson was the same, anyhow, Anyone can suggest me better books? I'd like some grammatical approach, as Pimsleur uses basically dialogs with no grammatical explanation whatsoever. I'd like to have some "this is the past tense", we build sentences this way and texts.... Anyone? Edited by Vini on 05 April 2011 at 10:08pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
