I don't think it is pronounced net, ever. Other pronunciations of 'het' may be dropping the h -> 'et'. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It is not pronounced as 'net'. In Flanders we often say eg. 'hij legden et op zen knie'. This is very informal and is not standard Dutch, but a part of the Flemish dialect. You do hear a 'n', which comes from the previous word. And because the 'h' from 'het' drops, you do hear the 'n' very clearly. You might even think 'het' is pronounced as 'net'. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I can see why you'd prefer the -n- to belong to the word preceding "het". I don't think that necessarily has to be the case. The h- from "het" is dropped in connected speech. In my ipinion the -n- is a connection between "legde" and "het", whereby the -n- does not belong to any of the two words. The phase becomes something like "legde-n-et op zijn knie".
Note that in a lot of instances this will become "legdu-n-ut" instead of "legde-n-et" 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Question: Pronouncing " 's ". As in the remnant of des. I've only ever experienced it in writting, such as 's Nachts, 's
Avonds etc. But when saying this, do you still say "des", or simply articulate an s? Dank jullie wel vooraf 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You simply articulate an S. In a poem or speaking very special you could say "des morgens, als de zon verschijnt
..." Normaliter you never use "des". 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

FAQ-NL: Do 'elkaar' and 'mekaar' have the same meaning?
It seems like elkaar is much more common, but to me, they both appear to have the same meaning. Are they used somewhat differently? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The old-fashioned forms like "des avonds" aren't used anymore in spoken (and written) Dutch. So you pronounce: s' avonds as "savonds" s' ochtends as "sochtends". Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 16 December 2009 at 9:47pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

They mean exactly the same. "Zij houden van elkaar." "Zij houden van mekaar." I'd give a slight preference to 'elkaar'. 1 person has voted this message useful |
