معنی
Be yourself, don't show off.
زمینه فرهنگی
In the big cities, people are slightly more used to international styles, but 'doe maar gewoon' is still used to keep people from acting like 'celebrities'. In rural areas, this rule is even stricter. Standing out too much can lead to social exclusion. Managers often sit in the same open-plan office as their employees and eat the same cheese sandwiches for lunch. This is 'doe maar gewoon' in action. Even the King tries to appear 'gewoon'. He is often seen cycling or doing 'normal' things to maintain a connection with the people.
The 'Maar' Magic
Always include 'maar'. It changes the phrase from a command to a shared cultural value.
Don't overdo it
If you say it to someone who is genuinely proud of a big achievement, you might sound jealous.
