A1 Expression ニュートラル

Ik begrijp het niet.

I do not understand.

意味

Admitting a lack of comprehension.

🌍

文化的背景

Dutch people appreciate directness. Saying 'Ik begrijp het niet' is better than pretending to understand. Flemish speakers might use 'Ik versta het niet' more often for 'I don't understand' than in the Netherlands. In universities, it is common to use this phrase to engage with professors. In meetings, it is often softened to 'Dat is niet helemaal duidelijk'.

💡

Be direct

Dutch speakers appreciate honesty. Don't be afraid to say you don't understand.

⚠️

Don't confuse with 'verstaan'
