뜻
To leave secretly or without saying goodbye.
문화적 배경
The phrase is linked to the 17th-century 'Gouden Eeuw' (Golden Age) where many people lived on credit. Disappearing at night was a common way to escape the 'debtor's prison'. The phrase is equally common in Flanders. It is often used in local news when a contractor (aannemer) takes a deposit and never returns to finish the job. Sailors used the stars for navigation. Since the sun is never in the north, 'departing with the northern sun' was a code for departing when only the stars (like the North Star) were visible. In the age of social media, 'met de noorderzon vertrekken' is being used to describe people who delete all their accounts ('digital suicide') to start a new life.
Use with 'zijn'
Always remember that 'vertrekken' is a 'zijn' verb. Saying 'Hij heeft vertrokken' is a very common mistake for English speakers.
Negative Connotation
Be careful using this about yourself. It usually implies you are avoiding a problem or being sneaky.
