معنی
To be extremely happy.
زمینه فرهنگی
In the Netherlands, this phrase is often used during 'Koningsdag' (King's Day) or when the national football team (Oranje) performs well. It's a rare moment where the Dutch let go of their 'nuchterheid'. Flemish speakers use this idiom just as much as the Dutch, but they might pair it with more exuberant body language. It's common in Flemish TV shows when contestants win prizes. In Surinamese Dutch, idioms are often used with a rhythmic flair. While the meaning remains the same, the delivery might be more emphatic.
Use the Past Tense
Most people use this idiom to describe a reaction that just happened. Practice 'Ik sprong' more than 'Ik spring'.
Don't be literal
Even if you are sitting in a chair, you can say you are 'jumping a hole in the air'. It's about the feeling!
