معنی
Disagreeing with a statement.
زمینه فرهنگی
Dutch directness (directheid) means that saying 'Dat is niet waar' is not usually considered an insult. It's seen as being honest and efficient. In Flemish culture, people are generally slightly more indirect than in the Netherlands. They might prefer 'Dat klopt niet helemaal' to avoid sounding too harsh. In Surinamese Dutch, the phrase is used but often accompanied by more expressive body language or followed by 'echt hoor!' for emphasis. In Dutch offices, 'Dat is niet waar' is often the start of a healthy debate rather than the end of a conversation.
Add 'helemaal'
If you want to say 'That's not true at all', say 'Dat is helemaal niet waar'.
Don't say 'geen waar'
This is the most common mistake for English speakers. Remember: niet + adjective.
