معنی
Consuming a coffee beverage.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'one cookie' rule: When invited for coffee at a Dutch home, the host will often bring out a tin of cookies, offer you one, and then close the tin and put it away. In Rotterdam, coffee is often called 'pleur'. This comes from the verb 'pleuren' (to throw/dump), reflecting the city's no-nonsense, working-class history. The 10:00 AM coffee break is sacred. It is often the time when the most important informal decisions are made, outside of official meetings. In the north, coffee is often served with 'Fryske Dúmkes' (Frisian thumb cookies). The ritual is just as strong but with local delicacies.
The 'Gezellig' Factor
Always remember that 'koffie drinken' is 10% about the caffeine and 90% about the 'gezelligheid' (coziness/socializing).
Black Coffee Default
If you just ask for 'koffie', it might come black. Be ready to ask for 'melk' (milk) and 'suiker' (sugar) separately.
