A2 Collocation ニュートラル

Een rekening betalen.

Paying a bill.

意味

Settling a financial debt.

🌍

文化的背景

The 'Tikkie' app is so ubiquitous that 'Tikkie' has become a verb. It is common to receive a Tikkie for even very small amounts, like 50 cents, which can surprise foreigners. In Belgium, people are generally less likely to split the bill to the cent compared to the Dutch. It is more common for one person to pay and the other to 'get the next one'. In Dutch business, the person who invited the others usually pays the 'rekening'. However, it is always appreciated to offer to pay, even if the offer is declined. On a first date in the Netherlands, it is very common to split the bill (50/50). This is seen as a sign of independence and equality rather than a lack of interest.

💡

Ask for the bill early

In the Netherlands, waiters rarely bring the bill unless you ask for it. It's not considered rude to ask; it's considered polite of them to let you stay as long as you want.

⚠️

Check for 'Pin'

Some smaller Dutch shops do not accept credit cards (Visa/Mastercard), only 'Pin' (Maestro/V-Pay). Always check if you can 'de rekening betalen' with your specific card.

Use 'Afrekenen'

If you want to sound more like a native in a cafe, just say 'Mag ik afrekenen?' instead of the full 'Mag ik de rekening betalen?'
