معنی
Expressing high approval.
زمینه فرهنگی
Dutch people value directness but also modesty. 'Uitstekend' is a strong word that is used when something is truly above average. Flemish Dutch can be slightly more formal and polite than Northern Dutch. 'Uitstekend' is very common in Flemish business culture. In meetings, 'uitstekend' is used to signal definitive approval and to move the conversation forward. Teachers use 'uitstekend' as the verbal equivalent of a '10' (the highest grade in the Dutch system).
The 'Ui' Trick
To pronounce 'ui', make an 'ah' sound and then slide your tongue forward while rounding your lips.
Don't Overuse
If you say 'uitstekend' for everything, you will sound like a car salesman. Save it for things that are truly great.
