معنی
Praising a behavior.
زمینه فرهنگی
The Dutch value 'regelmaat' (regularity). A 'good habit' is seen as a sign of a reliable and stable person. In Flanders, the phrase is equally common but might be delivered with a slightly softer tone. The word 'gewoonte' is sometimes replaced by 'manier' (way) in very informal speech. In Surinamese Dutch, 'gewoonte' is used, but there is also a strong emphasis on 'respect' as a habit. Praising a child for their manners often uses this phrase. In offices, 'good habits' are often linked to 'lean' working or efficiency. It is a common piece of feedback in 1-on-1 meetings.
Add 'echt' for emphasis
Saying 'Dat is *echt* een goede gewoonte' makes you sound much more natural and enthusiastic.
Don't forget the -e
Many English speakers say 'goed gewoonte'. Always remember the -e for de-words!
