I'll go for a start, but I noticed our newcomer did a fine job, he will surely add things, or Renee will.
- ernstig/ serieus: just the same (note though that the adj. ending is -ig, the subst./ noun ending is -ing (well, one of them)) - fout/ verkeerd: about the same, though I could imagine in particular contexts 'verkeerd' might not sound the best - gebakje/ taart: the former reminds me of the dry cakes, the other one is often covered with fruit; 'taart' seems to be more general as well. Look here though: http://www.goeievraag.nl/vraag/verschil-tussen-taart-gebak.8 7505 - klaar/ gereed: the same, I think, but 'gereed' is not very common anymore (there is also 'bereid (om te ...)', meaning: prepared, willing) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

What about the word "de kennis"?
I did learn it as an acquaintance, but now I see is used also for knowledge, and I saw it on bab.la as learning and science. Any idea of most frequent used words for acquaintance, knowledge, science and learning (as a noun) and where "de kennis" stands in that ranking? and I did understand the use of fout as an adj. but what about: de fout en de vergissing? Tnx again :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Let's start with 'kennen', to know (of things and people, not abstract) as in French 'connaïtre' or German 'kennen'). So then
- what you know is kennis - the person you know is kennis (or bekende) - science is wetenschap (French savoir, German wissen), which is broader than kennis (which seems more like knowing facts and figure) but generally contains it - to learn is leren, and the result of that is kennis and weten (see above) Fout/ vergissing: mistake/ error. Often the same, but vergissing sounds graver... 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Except 'vaak' and 'dikwijls' what about 'het vervoer' and 'het transport'?

I would say transport is primarily used for objects and animals while vervoer is used for people.
Vaak and dikwijls mean the same thing but there is a slight difference in connotations that I can't put my finger on. Edited by ReneeMona on 03 April 2011 at 11:11pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |
