If you want to get anywhere with a language, you have to start by greeting the person you\u2019re speaking with. So today we\u2019re going to explain the best ways to start chatting with anyone who speaks Dutch in a variety of situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saying Hello in Dutch<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As with most languages there are a lot of ways to simply say hello in Dutch. These can vary according to the formality of the situation and the time of day.\u00a0<\/span>
\nAmongst the many greetings Dutch has to offer \u2018hallo\u2019 is probably the most common amongst friends. However, you should use it mostly for interacting with friends or relatives. Even less formal greetings include \u2018hooi\u2019 and \u2018hey.\u2019 We advise that you only use these with people you\u2019re sure will appreciate them. Since so many Dutch people are familiar with English, the word \u2018hello\u2019 is also fairly common.<\/span>
\n\"\"
\nFor more formal setting, Dutch-speaking people use a set of greetings that match the formal greetings of English. As with most European languages, these are divided into morning, day\/afternoon, and evening. When you\u2019re meeting someone for the first time or if you\u2019re in doubt on how to greet someone, we recommend using these. Strangers on the tram, government workers, people in the service industry or simply people who don\u2019t know each other and want to demonstrate respect will generally stick to these as standard greetings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Standard Dutch greetings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Goedemorgen khoo-duh mor-khuh(n) \u2018good morning\u2019<\/strong>
\nGoedendag khoo-duh(n)-dakh \u2018good day\u2019<\/strong>
\nGoedemiddag khoo-duh-mid-dakh \u2018good afternoon\u2019<\/strong>
\nGoedenavond khoo-duh(n)-ah-vond \u2018good evening\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll notice that some of the n\u2019s are in parentheses. This is because in spoken Dutch, people very often drop the n\u2019s at the end of words or word parts. As a result, you\u2019re more likely to hear the greeting \u2018<\/span>goedemorgen\u2019<\/span><\/i> without the final -n in most settings.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Additionally, a lot of people will change the \u2018d\u2019 sound in \u2018goede\u2019 into a sort of \u2018y\u2019 sound when greeting each other. While some people consider this version to be \u2018incorrect\u2019 or \u2018bad Dutch\u2019 it is becoming increasingly common in both spoken and written Dutch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Goedemorgen > goeiemorgen<\/strong>
\nGoedendag > goeiedag<\/strong>
\nGoedemiddag > goeie middag<\/strong>
\nGoedenavond > goeieavond<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning that Dutch-speaking people can be particular about these. On numerous occasions, I\u2019ve heard people correct themselves and others when using the wrong time of day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Talking on the Phone<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When answering a phone, Dutch speakers might answer in two ways. Some will use the same goedemorgen\/dag\/avond that we mentioned before. In many situations, however, people answer with a simple \u2018Hallo.\u2019\u00a0<\/span>
\n\"\"
\nIt\u2019s worth noting that if you someone you don\u2019t know addresses you with the word \u2018hallo\u2019 in person, they might be trying to get your attention to advise you of something. For example, I was once walking home when a gentleman approached me with\u00a0 \u2018hallo\u2019 only to follow it up with \u2018meneer, u gaat de verkeerde kant op\u2019 (sir you\u2019re going the wrong way).<\/span><\/p>\n

Culture Tip<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are two main ways that Dutch people might greet each other depending on the situation. One would be a simple handshake coupled with a greeting. However, in more friendly situations, people will kiss each other on the cheek three times.<\/span>
\nAfter you\u2019ve said hello in Dutch in your preferred way you might ask someone how they are. You can normally simply ask<\/span><\/p>\n

Hoe gaat het?<\/strong><\/p>\n

which literally means \u2018how goes it?\u2019 An alternative would be \u2018hoe is het met je\u2019 or \u2018hoe is het met u.\u2019 The words je and u both mean \u2018you\u2019 but have different levels of formality. The word je is less formal than u. What that means exactly can depend on the area. In general, if you don\u2019t know someone well, use \u2018u\u2019 to be safe. If they want to switch to \u2018je\u2019 they\u2019ll let you know.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0In English, asking the question \u2018How are you?\u2019 most often prompts a short answer. This is not so in Dutch. Asking someone \u2018hoe gaat het?\u2019 will more often than not prompt a real answer, since the question is considered a genuine inquiry about someone and will be taken as such.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saying Goodbye<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Exiting a conversation in Dutch is much simpler that entering one. While greetings in Dutch often refer to the time of day, you don\u2019t have to worry about any of that when saying goodbye.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most common farewell is probably \u2018tot ziens\u2019 meaning \u2018see you later.\u2019 The less formal way of leaving is with the word \u2018doei\u2019 which simply means \u2018bye.\u2019<\/span>
\nYou might hear a lot of other variants for when people get on their way. We\u2019ve listed some of them below. There are loads of other ways to say goodbye, some of which are only used in certain regions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ciao \u2018bye\u2019 (informal)<\/strong>
\nDag \u2018goodbye\u2019 (literally \u2018day\u2019)<\/strong>
\nTot later \u2018until later\u2019<\/strong>
\nTot volgende keer \u2018until next time\u2019<\/strong>
\nTot morgen \u2018see you tomorrow\u2019 (literally \u2018until tomorrow\u2019)<\/strong>
\nVaarwel \u2018farewell\u2019 (formal)<\/strong><\/p>\n
