Requesting a future update.
خلفية ثقافية
The Dutch 'Agenda' culture means that 'Laat het me weten' is often followed by a specific deadline. It's not rude to ask for an answer by a certain time. In Flanders, the phrase is also common, but you might hear 'Laat maar iets weten', adding 'iets' (something) to make it sound even softer and less demanding. Directness is valued. If you say 'Laat het me weten', a Dutch person will actually let you know. They don't see it as a polite empty gesture. In texting, this is often abbreviated or used with emojis. It's the standard way to end a group chat planning session.
The 'Het' Rule
If you remember nothing else, remember to include 'het'. It's the hallmark of a good Dutch learner.
Don't over-emphasize 'mij'
Using 'mij' instead of 'me' makes you sound like you're in a drama movie unless there's a specific reason to stress it.
