Significado
Suggesting physical activity.
Contexto cultural
The Dutch are obsessed with 'Buienradar' (a rain radar app). If the app shows a gap in the rain, you will hear this phrase immediately as people rush outside. Flemish speakers use the phrase similarly but might favor 'om te sporten' slightly more than the noun-only 'voor sport'. In Dutch-speaking Suriname, 'sport' often refers specifically to football (soccer). The phrase might be used specifically when heading to a 'veldje' (field). Many Dutch companies have 'bedrijfsfitness' (company gym). This phrase is often used in internal newsletters to encourage employees to use the facilities.
The 'Hè' Add-on
Add ', hè?' to the end to make it a question and invite the other person to agree. It's very Dutch!
Irony Alert
If it's raining cats and dogs, you can say this sarcastically to show you have a Dutch sense of humor.
