معنی
To win or achieve something.
زمینه فرهنگی
The phrase is ubiquitous in Dutch sports culture, especially during 'Schaatsen' (speed skating) season. It reflects the national pride in achieving results on the world stage. In the Dutch 'Poldermodel' (consensus-based decision making), 'in de wacht slepen' is often used after long, grueling negotiations to signal a definitive end. Dutch headlines often use this phrase to make news sound more dynamic and competitive, even for political gains. The phrase is equally common in Flemish Dutch, though Flemish speakers might also use 'binnenrijven' (to rake in) in similar contexts.

Positive Only
