Signification
That is convenient.
Contexte culturel
The Dutch 'agenda' is sacred. Using this phrase shows you respect the other person's time and that you are happy their plan fits your schedule. In Flanders, people also use 'Dat komt goed uit,' but you might also hear 'Dat past,' which is slightly more common in informal Flemish. In Dutch business, being direct about your availability is valued. Saying 'Dat komt niet goed uit' is not considered rude; it's considered efficient. On WhatsApp, Dutch people often shorten this to 'Komt goed uit!' or even just 'Top!' if the context is clear.
Use 'eigenlijk'
Add 'eigenlijk' (actually) to sound more native: 'Dat komt eigenlijk wel heel goed uit!'
Don't forget the 'uit'
Without 'uit', you are just saying 'That comes well,' which makes no sense in Dutch.
