Signification
Extremely high quality.
Contexte culturel
In cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam, 'bizar goed' is part of the daily vocabulary of young professionals. It signals that you are 'up to date' with modern speech. Flemish speakers use 'bizar' more often in its literal sense of 'weird'. While they understand 'bizar goed', they might prefer 'vree goed' or 'keigoed'. In 'old school' Dutch companies (banking, law), this phrase is still seen as too informal. Stick to 'uitstekend' to avoid looking unprofessional. Dutch slang is heavily influenced by Surinamese (Sranan Tongo). While 'bizar' is French/Dutch, the *way* it's used as an extreme intensifier mirrors how Surinamese words like 'faya' or 'spang' are used.
Use 'echt' for extra punch
Adding 'echt' (really) before 'bizar goed' makes you sound like a native. 'Het was echt bizar goed!'
Watch your 'g'
If you can't do the Dutch 'g' yet, 'bizar goed' might sound like 'bizar koet'. Practice the rasp!
