Bedeutung
Feeling astonishment.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Dutch people are generally direct. If they are surprised, they will say it clearly. In Flanders, people might use 'verrast' slightly more often than 'verbaasd' in casual speech.
Pronunciation
Remember that Dutch final 'd' sounds like a 't'. So 'verbaasd' ends with a 't' sound.
Don't confuse
Do not use 'verward' when you mean 'surprised'. It means confused!
