🌍

文化的背景

The Dutch 'poldermodel' involves a lot of talking and evaluating to reach consensus. 'De balans opmaken' is a key part of this process. Flemish speakers use this phrase similarly, though they might also use 'het bilan maken', influenced by the French 'bilan'. In Dutch startups, 'de balans opmaken' is often used during 'sprints' to see if the goals were met. It is culturally common for Dutch people to be very direct about their feelings during a 'balans' moment in a relationship.

💡

It makes you sound very professional and structured in a Dutch office environment.

⚠️

Don't forget the 'op'

Just saying 'de balans maken' is a common error that sounds unnatural to natives.
