It's an English Room here, so therefore we shouldn't write in Dutch. People living in Maastricht speak the Limburgs dialect/language which is quite different from Standaardnederlands which is spoken in the whole Randstad (Amsterdam - Utrecht - Rotterdam - Den Haag). I have some difficulties understanding the variation of Limburgs which is spoken in Maastricht. But it's very long ago that I visited Maastricht.

Yes, I agree with your definition. In English "regering" is "government" whereas "overheid" is "administration" in general. According to the political theory of Montesquieu (= division of powers) "regering" is the executive power, whereas "Tweede Kamer" and "Eerste Kamer" are the legislative power. Members of the "regering" in the Netherlands: - the King/Queen - the Ministerpresident - the Ministers - the Staatssecretarissen Quote Wikipedia: "De regering in Nederland is belast met het bestuur ofwel de uitvoerende macht. De regering wordt gevormd door de Koning en de ministers, zo bepaalt art. 42 lid 1 Grondwet." Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 27 February 2011 at 9:05am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I have come across something that confuses me. I want to say "I don't have enough money."
Ik heb geen geld genoeg. Ik heb niet genoeg geld. I have read and heard both variations and wondered if it is something that is just regional or is one wrong and the other correct, or are they both right and mean slightly different things? Thanks. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

According to onzetaal.nl, geen can be used with nouns so that means both are correct, though the second sounds more natural to me. They mean the exact same thing. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I also feel the second one is way better, and there is something fishy about the first. Of course 'geen' can be used with nouns, but I wonder whether it is correct: the negation refers to 'genoeg' rather than to 'geld', I think.So for that reason #2 might be the only correct one for that reason...

FAQ-NL: Eenieder or iedereen?
My understanding is that 'eenieder' is a more formal or solemn synonym for 'iedereen'. But I am finding it quite often in my reading in what appear to be informal usages. The latest is today in De Telegraaf. "Binnen de krijgsmacht is eenieder op het hart gedrukt niets over de kwestie naar buiten te brengen en daarmee de lijn van het kabinet te volgen." http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/achteronzetroepen/9205485 /__Kans_op_snelle_vrijlating_klein__.html?p=22,1 Onzetaal offers what appears to be a very good explanation. http://www.onzetaal.nl/advies/eenieder.php Question: Do our HTLAL native Dutch speakers consider eenieder as more formal, or eenieder and iedereen as interchangeable? Would you ever write 'een ieder' as two separate words? 1 person has voted this message useful |
