🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The Dutch are very active (cycling everywhere), so saying you don't like sport can be a conversation starter about what else you do. Flemish people might use 'Ik ben niet zo voor sport', but 'dol op' is perfectly understood and used in informal contexts. In Surinamese Dutch, expressions of preference are often very direct, but 'niet zo dol op' remains a standard polite form. Expats often use this phrase to explain why they aren't joining the company's 'Vrijmibo' (Friday afternoon drink) football team.
