意味
A person should always keep their promises.
文化的背景
The proverb is a staple of Dutch directness. It is used to cut through ambiguity. It is also widely used in Flanders, though perhaps with slightly less emphasis on the 'directness' aspect compared to the Netherlands. In Dutch business, this phrase is a shorthand for 'I am trustworthy'. It is often used in comment sections to support someone who has kept a promise or to criticize someone who hasn't.
