सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Dutch people value 'nuchterheid' (sobriety/being down-to-earth). While they use 'enthousiast', they usually back it up with facts. Don't just say you're excited; say why! In Flanders, the tone might be slightly more formal. You might hear 'Ik ben zeer verheugd' alongside 'enthousiast'. The word 'enthousiast' is perfectly understood and used. Enthusiasm is seen as a sign of 'ownership'. If you are enthusiastic, it means you will take responsibility for the project's success. On LinkedIn, Dutch professionals use this phrase constantly to announce new jobs or partnerships. It is the standard 'announcement' phrase.
The 'Over' Rule
Always remember: Adjective + Over. If you use the noun 'enthousiasme', use 'voor'.
Avoid 'Opgewonden'
Never use 'opgewonden' to mean you are excited about a work project. It sounds very strange to Dutch ears!
