that is cool

Something very exciting or impressive.

🌍

문화적 배경

The word 'kicken' is a hallmark of the 'Polder-glamour'—the Dutch way of being flashy without losing their down-to-earth roots. Flemish speakers often find Dutch (NL) slang like 'kicken' or 'vet' a bit loud or 'Hollands'. They prefer 'wijs'. In the 'Straattaal' (street language) of cities like Amsterdam, 'kicken' is often replaced by 'faya' or 'loesoe', but 'kicken' remains understood by all. In hip startups in Amsterdam or Rotterdam, 'kicken' is actually acceptable in meetings to show passion for a project.

🎯

The 'Echt' Rule

Always add 'echt' before 'kicken' to sound like a native. 'Dat is kicken' is good, but 'Dat is echt kicken' is perfect.

⚠️

Not for Funerals

Never use this for serious or sad excitement. It's only for 'fun' adrenaline.

Age Matters

If you are over 60, using this might make you look like you're trying too hard to be young, unless you're a very active 'cool' senior.

Yes, though words like 'lit' or 'fire' are trending, 'kicken' remains a very common and understood term across generations.

Usually no. 'Kicken' implies a rush. A meal is 'heerlijk' or 'lekker'. Unless the meal was an extreme spicy challenge, then it might be 'kicken'.

'Gaaf' is 'cool/great', while 'kicken' specifically implies a thrill or adrenaline.

Not at all. It's just very informal. It's like saying 'That's a blast!'

Ik kick, jij kickt, wij kicken. Past tense: ik kickte.
