Hallo iedereen..
Q: alleen and alleen maar. From what i've read and understood, maar directly after alleen renders 'only', while alleen
on it's own renders 'alone'. Is there some colloquial thing in existence where people just drop the maar, but are still
meaning 'only'?

Q: I've heard people pronounce seven as 'seuve'. Is this specific to a certain region or do people everywhere in The Netherlands (colloquially) pronounce it like this?

Particularly in the Netherlands, they pronounce seven as 'seuve' or 'zeuve'.
They say for instance: 2007 = twee duizend zeuven (while in Belgium it'd be twee duizend EN zeven)
Personally I have never heard someone from Belgium say 'seuve', though I believe it is quite common in the Netherlands.

alleen means only in the sense of only one
alleen maar means only in the sense of a limitation
there is also slechts, which is a stronger version of alleen maar, the equivalent of merely or no more than or only just
voorbeelden:
Ik heb alleen 1 euro.
Ik heb alleen maar enkele euro.
U heeft slechts enkele euro!?

Hartstikke bedankt allemaal voor jouw ononderbroken antwoorden. Het maakt Nederlands veel duidelijker.
(Can you use 'makes' the same way in Nederlands as you would in English? e.g It makes Nederlands much clearer?)
