Goood thinking, Jan! I had only considered triest and befroefd as relating to people. You're right, anything can be triest but only people can be bedroefd, though something can be bedroevend. :)

From my Anki deck... I started having problems remembering words from meaning to dutch, because I had words that are the same, then I began numbering the pair/trios and thinking for the difference. :)
There are not that many "inclusive" words, but when I make the transaction from Dutch > English > Bulgarian and when I didn't have, or did not have the idea to look for, sample sentences I did not think about how to describe the differences. I'm not sure I explained well, but well it's not that important now... Learning to learn is a big part of language knowledge. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I suppose it all has to do with the fact that it is fairly hard sometimes to define a word in an easy way, whereas I believe we should try to do that. I have been trying to do that by listing similar words and then using them in sentences that make their meaning clear in words. If you want to see some of those attempts of mine, tell me.

So I'm getting confuse with those words:
De poot > het been < het bot as I can see they can be used as following: paw, foot > foot, bone, paw < bone Also: bevallen and aanstaan Thx guys... 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

My intuition tells me that it is not possible to use 'aanstaan' in a positive sense. If I try to replace 'bevallen' with 'aanstaan' it sounds weird. "Die muziek bevalt mij" and not "Die muziek staat mij aan", but "Die muziek bevalt mij niet" and also "Die muziek staat mij niet aan". Maybe someone else can come up with a counterexample?

Some examples of "proper" use of aanstaan?

I was trying to say that "aanstaan" and "bevallen" have the same meaning, but that "aanstaan" is only used in negations. You can say: "De muziek staat mij niet aan" or "Dat gedrag staat mij niet aan" but you can't say "De muziek staat mij aan" or "Dat gedrag staat mij wel aan". I hope that makes it a bit clearer. I guess it's just a matter of collocation.
