Signification
Positive outcome.
Contexte culturel
The Dutch value 'nuchterheid' (sobriety/pragmatism). Saying you have 'een goed resultaat' is a modest way to acknowledge success without appearing 'arrogant'. In Flemish schools, 'resultaat' is often used formally on 'rapporten' (report cards). The tone is slightly more formal than in the Netherlands. Dutch is the official language. 'Een goed resultaat' is used in the education system, which is closely modeled after the Dutch system. In Afrikaans, the cognate is 'n goeie resultaat'. Note that Afrikaans adds the -e where Dutch does not!
