The difference between 'praten' and 'spreken' is minimal, but 'spreken' means speaking and 'praten' means talking. For example it's: Ik spreek Nederlands. And not: Ik praat Nederlands. 'Logeren' is sleeping over at somebody his house and 'blijven' means to stay. 'Tijdens' means meanwhile and 'gedurende' means during. 'gewoonlijk' and 'doorgaans' are exactly the same although doorgaans has a little bit mroe class. 'het einde' means the end and 'de afloop' can mean the end of a story for an example, but also a sloop on a mountain. 'Grof' means rough, like a texture, but you can also translate it as rude or schocking. 'Inschenken' means pouring. 'Ik schenk thee' = I'm pouring tea. 'Gieten' is the verb for the English version of watering the plants. It also has some other uses, but those I can't explain clearly I think. It's not a very common word. 'de werknemer' means the employee, somebody who works for a company. But 'bediende' means servant. 'het nagerecht, toetje and dessert' are all exactly the same although dessert and nagerecht are a bit more fancy than toetje. 'doorbrengen' can have the meaning of spending (time with somebody) or carrying something through. It's dependent of the context. 'uitgeven' means either publishing or spending. 'bedienen' means serving. In the context of a waiter, but also in that of a servant. 'beheren' means managing or keeping (temporaly) in posession. So that was it all I think! Sorry for my grammar mistakes in my English, I was pretty tired after trying to formulate everything perfect for a foreigner! Everything clear? If you have more questions I don't mind to help you. Awesome enough if someone wants to learn Dutch! 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

FAQ-NL: Zo simpel als wat. Zo simpel als dat.
Do both of these expressions mean "As simple as that"? Are they both correct? Is there a difference? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

FAQ-NL: Difference between dringen and dwingen?
I think both of these words mean "to force". It appears that dringen is used for both things and people, whereas dwingen is just for people in the sense of coerce or compel. Dringen seems like a stronger "force' than dwingen. Comments? 1 person has voted this message useful |
