معنی
Stating the need for a drink.
زمینه فرهنگی
Dutch people often drink 'kraanwater' (tap water). It is socially acceptable to ask for a glass of water at someone's home by saying 'Ik heb dorst, mag ik een glaasje water?'. In Belgian cafes, if you say you have thirst, the waiter might expect you to order a beer, as Belgium has a world-famous beer culture. Asking for water is fine, but specify 'plat' (still) or 'bruis' (sparkling). In Surinamese Dutch, the phrase is the same, but because of the tropical climate, offering a drink to anyone who enters your home is a very important cultural rule. Among students, 'dorst' is often a code for wanting to go to the pub. 'Ik heb dorst' at 4 PM on a Friday usually means 'Let's go get a beer'.
The 'Have' Rule
Always remember that in Dutch, you 'have' sensations like thirst, hunger, and cold. Think of them as things you carry.
Don't say 'Ik ben dorst'
This literally means 'I am Thirst' (the concept itself), which will sound very funny to Dutch people.

سوالات متداول
10 سوالYes, it is a neutral statement of fact. However, in formal situations, it's better to ask for a drink directly: 'Mag ik wat water?'.
You can, but it sounds very formal or literary. 'Ik heb dorst' is used 99% of the time in speech.
Dorst is for drink (thirst), honger is for food (hunger).
Use the past tense of hebben: 'Ik had dorst'.
No, the English slang 'thirsty' doesn't translate directly to 'dorst hebben' in Dutch.
Usually just 'dorst'. You only use 'een' if there is an adjective: 'een enorme dorst'.
Say 'Hebben jullie dorst?'.
It means 'thirst-quenching', often used for drinks like water or sports drinks.
It's better to say 'Ik heb zin in een biertje'. 'Dorst' is usually for the general need to drink.
