Thank you Alfred!
Hey man! seriously, you should share videos more often. All of these people need your help!!!
You’re explaining the topics you have chosen so far in a very good order. I like the way you teach. Please make more videos! I’m still confused about present and present continuous tenses in Dutch. Thank you so much!
I recommended your channel on Duolingo forums! Hope this brings new subscribers to your channel
Awesome, thank you!

Amazing teaching.
Bedankt voor alle lessen!
Niels, dank je wel 😊👍, I've just got your TH-cam channel from my friend, and I found this channel will help me a lot with Dutch. Ik leer Nederlands, and it's difficult 😭 but glad to find this channel 😁
GREAT JOB , YOU ARE THE BEST ONLINE TEACHER FOR DUTCH
Niels, your videos are exceedingly helpful! I am pretty sure the subscriptions are going sky high! And hopefully the contributions for ur videos!
If I could make a suggestion of a topic, it would be very good if you could explain the use of "er". It is a bit hard to find the proper explanation in grammatical books.
thanks for ur work! all the best!
I agree! I made a few courses, and "er' is still hard for me to get!
Thanks Ianna!
Yes, 'Er' is a difficult topic. In fact, there are 3 different uses for 'er', so I'll probably end up making 3 different videos. There are a lot of topics to cover, but these are definitely on my to-do list
i really enjoy you dutch tutorial. i find it way easier the language. i watch all your videos one by one starting from the earliest/ firt one... i never skip the ads(i usally do skip them) as a sign of appreciation. hehehe

A lot of things make sense now 🤯. Thanks man
duidelijk uitleggen,Bedankt voor u Niels en uw collega's.
Dankjewel Muhammad! Ik heb geen collega's; ik maak de video's zelf ;-)
Niels, it is very best youtube channel for learning Dutch. Can you please make a video on "when do we put the verb at the last place or before the subject?
You’re really good with teaching
Dank je wel!
Another great video Niels. Separable verbs would be a good topic, I think, as these have driven me round the bend and I suspect cause many English speakers problems.
Really helpful. Thank you.
Thanks!
Hartelijk Dank Niels super mooie video .
Dankjewel Aghiad!
Dank u wel 😊
So I sometimes I like listening to random things and then seeing if I'm able to translate them into Dutch on my own. Well a few days ago someone said "I will do my best", and without even thinking, I immediately got "Ik zal mijn best doen." It was the first time I didn't even have to think about translating it, it just came naturally, so I was quite pleased with myself.
Yup, that's the best part of learning a new language. Sometimes you catch yourself saying things and thinking: 'Hey, where did that come from?'
Just a small correction though, you forgot to translate 'to do' (not sure if it's a typo): 'Ik zal mijn best doen'
Oh woops, corrected.
ItsKoi congrats, that's perfectly dutch!
I have been trying to figure this one out for a long time. thanks for the video.very clear now
I'm glad it answers your question Joseph! Thanks again for your support
thank you very useful...

Dankjewil voor de video! het is erg moelijk om de video naar Nederlands te vinden!
Thanks for the video! There aren't so many Dutch tutorial video out there on youtube.
Thumbs up and subscribed.
You're welcome Ian! Glad you like it
(I'd say: "over Nederlands" = "about Dutch". 'Naar' means 'to' or 'towards')
Thanks for the video...

Dag meneer Nielson! Ik heet Erlangga. Ik kom uit Indonesië. Nu leer ik Nederlands. Ik hoop dat U meer video maakt, omdat uw video's interessant en bruikbaar zijn. 🇮🇩🇳🇱
Hallo Erlangga! Bedankt voor je reactie. Ik ben blij dat je de video's interessant vindt. Ik hoop dat ik binnenkort meer tijd zal hebben om nieuwe video's te maken.
Good channel
Your lessons are excellent, really digestible. Thank you for helping us learn the language! I notice that your pronunciation is sometimes different from other Dutch people I know, I'm wondering where you are from?
Outstanding explanation, thanks! A question, what about the other modal verb, zullen? I can't think of an example where you can drop it.
Ik moet tegen 8 uur weg(gaan).
Ich muss gegen 8 Uhr los(gehen).
Same as in German but I didn't recognized it before.
Dank je wel voor dat super filmpje.
your teaching is very good, can you teach all about nederlands for knm exam
Goodbye! Good job and thank you. Continue in this way
Echt nuttige video Niels. Dankjewel. Ik heb deze constructies af en toe opgemerkt en ze klonken een beetje raar. Ik wist niet dat er een regel voor bestaat. Ik heb er ook iemand gevraag maar ze kon mijn niet uitleggen. Nu weet ik wel :)
Hoi Mehmood, dankjewel! Ik ben blij dat de video nuttig is. Er is bijna altijd een regel, of in ieder geval een patroon. Het probleem is dat er niet zo veel materialen zijn, en vaak zijn ze academisch. Daarom maak ik deze video's
Hey Niels, I have a suggestion, maybe you can do a video talking about the conditional. I think it's an interesting topic and people would be very interested!
by the way, how would you say: I would like to eat every day in the market.= ik zou graag ieder dag in de markt eten???
Thank you in advance, looking forward to watching more videos!!
Are you stil active And making such educational films Mr. Niels???
There’s no new films from you !!
@niels i like how you xplan so gud brother
Thanks again Niel! Just recently I was searching for a lesson on separable words, then to hear you speak of it. A chance you could do a video on separable words?
Hi Nette, yes, I'll definitely make a video on separable verbs. I just can't say when exactly, but stay tuned :)
Thanks, you're the best!
Learn Dutch with Niels! Yes seconded! Separable verbs are the one thing that gets me!
Belangrijk onderwerp 😀
Zeker ;-)!
what can i do to practice the “r” sound that comes from the “g” letter?
Ik vind leuk je video! Ik ben klaar mijn Inburgering examens maar ik moet meer Nederlands studeren.
Hallo Niels, I would like to ask to you if it is possible one video about the use of "er". It is Very important But often I can not know if I must use er or hem or het ecc. The 4/5 way to use er... are a little bit difficult
Je bent een heel goede en uitstekend lerar. Can you please make a video when to use "heb" and when to use "zijn" ? I get confused. For example: I am hungry in Dutch is Ik heb honger not Ik ben honger. Also, another example: What do you want ? in Dutch Wat heb je nodig ? not Wat doe je nodig ? Confused!
Dankjewel, gast! :) Heel duidelijk! Kan je een video maken waarinn je uitleggen in het nederlands?
Hey Lukaz, dankjewel! Ik heb eraan gedacht om een ander soort videos in het Nederlands te maken (misschien met een verhaal of met andere oefeningen). De grammatica doe ik liever in het Engels, want dan begrijpen meer mensen het (hoop ik!).
Moet dat?
Is it necessary?
Kan dat?
Is it possible ?
Mag dat?
Is it allowed?
Verder is zoals "weiter" in het Duits.
well, all things you explained are also exists in Russian, so it was not weird for me to see that:) It's a good benefit from Dutch to me. Keep doing a great job
Hi Andrew, I didn't know that! Can you give me an example in Russian? I'm curious to see how similar it is. Thanks for your comment :)
(ya poidu v kafe - I will go to the cafe) = (ya v kafe) which occasionally would also mean "I am in the cafe", but it would be ok to understand, (ya poshla v magazin - I(she) am going to the store), = (ya v magazin) where the "go" part is out. Or - You could say - (ya poidu domoi - I will go home) = ya domoi "I home", (ya idu spat' - I am going to sleep) = ya spat' - I + to sleep. (Mozhno mne vyiti v tualet(toilet) - Mag ik naar de WC gaan?) = Mozhno mne v tualet? (Mozhno nam poiti v masterskuiy? - Mogen we in de werkpaats?) = Mozhno nam v masterskuiy? Dat moet - (eto nuzhno(neobhodimo?)) Mag dat - tak mozhno? Ja, mag dat - Da, tak mozhno. Nee, dat mag niet - net, nel'zya. So it is pretty much the same
Hah, that's really similar! Cool, I didn't know that. Thanks for the examples!
Is it considered informal in Russian, or can you use it in all kinds of situations, like in Dutch?
I'd rather say it's a way of "Relaxed pronunciation", i am 100% sure that a businessman would say - (ya na vstrechy) - I am going to an appointment, rather saying (ya IDU (go) na vstrechy) or (ya EDU(drive) na vstrechy)
Ah, interesting, so in Russian you can have a sentence without a verb. That's even more extreme than Dutch -- we have to have at least an auxiliary verb.
Niels your video's are great! Have you stopped making them? :(
👏👏👏
Dankjewel. ..zo nuttig.
Graag gedaan!
Is this considered grammatically correct or is it just used in everyday speaking? in other words, can these constructs be used in a book, a newspaper etc? Thanks for the wonderful videos, keep it up!
Hi Said, good question. This is considered grammatically correct, but it's true that this is a little more informal. However, it is very common. You'll also find it in writing (novels, newspapers, emails...). If you're writing an official letter, however, you should avoid doing this.
zo leuk zinnen
Please make more videos
Hia Niels You ok mate? :) Did you enjoy ya Prinsjesdag last month? :) Oh, oh! Not only do I like learning Dutch, I also enjoy taking the mick out of it! 😂😂😂 Some of the compound nouns when literary translated are so funny! 😂😂😂 I.E “schoonvader” “father-in-law” but quite literally “clean father” what in brass tarnation is clean about somebody’s in-laws?! 😂😂😂😂 Oh, oh! “Handschoenen” “gloves” “hand shoes” 😂😂😂 “brandweer” “fire brigade” “burn again” Oh and the false friends it has with English are brilliant too! XD I swear to god! Admiral Akbar from the original Star Wars trilogy won’t wanna walk up or down the stairs because “IT’S A TRAP!” 😱😱😱😂😂😂 And he doesn’t wanna use a ramp because it’s a disaster! 😂😂😂
I think other common instances of this behaviour are zou kunnen en zou moeten kunnen.
Uitstekend job Niels!

Hey Ahmed! Leuk om je hier te zien! Hoe gaat het met je?
Hoi! Ik vind dat ook. Ja het is heel leuk om je hier te zien. Mijn nieuwe docent. :D
Het gaat prima en je?
Met mij gaat ook alles goed! Blijf je in Brussel?
Nu ben ik in Cairo, maar ik ga in April naar Brussel terug. Misschien op 18 of 21.
Veel plezier in Cairo :)
i have one question? ( under which rol Niet is coming at the end of the sentences?
Hi! There's no rule that causes Niet to be at the end of a sentence. There are a lot of other rules though, so sometimes it ends up there. I'll try to make a video on Niet in the future. It's unfortunately too much to explain in a TH-cam comment
Hey Nils: what on earth does "mee" do in the end of a sentence. For instance "reist met je mee" - ins't enough to say "travels with you/reist met je"? Why do we have to add "mee" in the end? Thanks so much!
Hi Luis, 'mee' has two functions. In your example, it's a part of a separable verb. Here, that's 'meereizen'. I'm not sure if you'll find it in the dictionary, but 'mee' can easily be added to any verb related to transportation. It means 'along with...'. So 'meegaan' means _to go along with (someone else)_, 'meedoen' means _to play along_ (in games or activities), and therefore 'meereizen' means _to travel along_.
And yes, you're right, 'met je' already conveys this information, so it's redundant. Yet, it's always there. You can drop 'met X', but you can't drop the 'mee'.
Makes sense now! Dank je wel :)
