Meaning
Used to express approval of something pleasant.
Cultural Background
The Dutch are direct but value 'gezelligheid'. This phrase is the perfect balance. They also use 'lekker', but the particle 'hoor' is less common; they might use 'ze' instead. Expats often use this to signal they are integrating into Dutch culture. Young people often shorten it to 'Lekker man' or just 'Lekker'.
