Lovely video as always! Im struggling to find a logical understanding (so i can remember properly how to use OM TE) but have an example such as the below that cant find a proper explanation WHY is OM TE used here, because is not "In Order to" etc, doesnt seem to fall into the scenarious you mentioned. Any help anyone please?: ""Welk werk vindt u leuk om te doen? Vertel ook waarom. Ik vind schoonmaken leuk OM TE doen, want ik hou van een schoon huis."
hello, what is the difference between "om te" and just "te" for example: "Wij vragen jullie om niet te wachten" and "Jullie moeten niet vergeten te koken" and can i use directly om te in the second sentence! thanks!
Oh. Short question, long answer. In the second sentence, you can indeed use om te. But it's not always the case, it depends on the verb and there are so many variations it's hard to keep track. With proberen, for instance, you'll need at least one word in between the om and the te: 'Hij probeert om het te lezen.' If not, you're not allowed to use om. More info about te is here: th-cam.com/video/tu67drTlpis/w-d-xo.html and about om te is here: zichtbaarnederlands.nl/nl/zinsbouw/te Good luck!
Hey Alain, thanks for your video! I have been learning Dutch for 1 month now (it's going well because I already speak German) and I have a question. I have read 2 sentences: "Het begint te regenen." "Ik probeer om te praten." There is "om" in the second sentence but there isn't in the first one. Why is that?
Hi David, thanks! Actually, the second sentence is wrong. It's without om. This will sound weird, but you'll need at least a word in between om and te, like: - Ik probeer om snel te praten. Some verbs can use 'om te' instead of 'te', others can't. This depends on the verb used. But this is really advanced Dutch.
Hoi leraar, iemand heeft me gevraagd of het Nederland een moelijk taal is. Ik heb het antwoord aan zijn gegeven. Deze zin is het antwoord "het is heel moelijk voor me om te uitleggen." is de gramaticale structuur van deze zin juist ?
"Wat vinden politici en leraren van het noodgedwongen onderduiken door een docent, na bedreiging om een spotprent van een jihadist?" Dear Alain , I send you fragment from the Article from Volkskrant . In this fragment is "om", but I don't understand how to translate it and why here is exactly this "om"? Can you help me with this ? Please 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great explanation
heel goed, dankjewel

Ik vind schoonmaken leuk OM TE doen, want ik hou van een schoon huis."
Aha, that's an exception. Usually, leuk is with 'om te' to translate 'nice to'...
I find this word order very difficult to learn. Thanks!
And thank you too! Here's more about the word order: th-cam.com/video/zOt8jaN9Zbk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks!
And thank you very much, Alesia!
you are so talented leraar
Thanks a lot!

@@LearnDutchwithAlain thank you so much!! That really helped
Hi Alain. I have read that sometimes we can omit om in om...te construction. When will we do it? Thank you
When you can use te, you could use om. Here's more: onzetaal.nl/taaladvies/om-wel-of-geen-om/

Oh, I understand, thanks for the info 😉

Deze zin is het antwoord "het is heel moelijk voor me om te uitleggen." is de gramaticale structuur van deze zin juist ?
Hei, uitleggen is separabel en heeft een object nodig: het is heel moelijk voor me om het uit te leggen. Voor de rest goed!
@@LearnDutchwithAlain oké dankjewel,
maar ik heb andere vraag, zijn onderzoeken en ondersteunen scheidbaar werkwoorden ?
@@JL-kw7qc Nee.
@@LearnDutchwithAlain oke, zeer bedankt
bedankt
Oke, nu kan ik een zinnen maken zoals
'Ik oefen nederlands om met jou te praten.' 😊
i wish i knew what an infinitive was
That's 'to know' in English, in Dutch it's simply the plural form of a verb: 'weten' for to know.
ik kijkte deze video om het nederlands beter te leren
Goed zo! Maar: ik keek (niet ik kijkte)
Please correct me
i am from india

Just replace it by 'voor' :), it can also be like 'because of'
🤔 Okay ...thank you very much !
