A2 Idiom ニュートラル

De kogel is door de kerk.

The decision has been made.

意味

A final agreement is reached.

🌍

文化的背景

The Dutch 'Poldermodel' involves extensive consultation. This idiom is the 'finish line' of that process. The phrase is equally common in Flanders, though Flemish speakers might use it slightly more formally than the Dutch. The reference to the 'church' highlights the historical importance of religious buildings as community centers and places of safety. Journalists love this phrase for headlines because it is punchy and everyone knows exactly what it means: the waiting is over.

🎯

Use it for relief

Use this phrase when you want to express that you are happy the deciding part is finally over.

⚠️

Check the auxiliary

Always use 'is', never 'heeft'. It's a state of being now.
