معنی
To not have enough time to finish tasks.
زمینه فرهنگی
The Dutch 'Agenda' is sacred. If you 'tijd tekortkomt,' it's often seen as a failure of planning, which is why people apologize so sincerely for it. In Surinamese-Dutch culture, time is sometimes viewed more flexibly ('Surinaamse tijd'), but in professional settings, 'tijd tekortkomen' is still used to signal work pressure. Flemish speakers use the phrase identically to the Dutch, though they might also use 'tijd te kort hebben,' which is slightly more common in the south. In modern tech hubs like Eindhoven or Amsterdam, 'tijd tekortkomen' is often linked to 'sprint deadlines' and 'agile working.'
Use with 'om te'
To sound like a pro, always follow the phrase with 'om te' + verb. 'Ik kom tijd tekort om te sporten.'
Auxiliary Verb
Always use 'zijn' in the past perfect. 'Ik ben tijd tekortgekomen' is the only correct way.
