Do you have a moment?

意味

Asking for someone's attention.

🌍

文化的背景

The Dutch workplace is very flat. You can use 'Heb je een momentje?' with almost anyone, regardless of their rank, as long as you use 'je' or 'u' appropriately. Because the Dutch schedule everything, this phrase is a vital 'emergency exit' for unscheduled talk. The use of '-je' is a core part of 'Gezelligheid'. It makes the world feel smaller and more manageable. Despite the polite 'momentje', the Dutch will still be very direct once you start talking. Don't be offended!

🎯

The 'Heppie' Sound

To sound like a native, blend 'Heb je' into 'Heppie'. It's very common in casual conversation.

⚠️

Don't forget the '-je'!

Without the '-je', you sound like you're in a hurry or slightly annoyed.
