Significado
Giving directions.
Contexto cultural
Dutch people are very direct. If you are lost, they will give you a quick 'linksaf' and keep walking. Belgians are slightly more polite and might add 'alstublieft' (please) to the instruction. In cities like Amsterdam, people often use 'links' instead of 'linksaf' when cycling. In rural areas, directions are often given by landmarks rather than street names.
Separable verbs
Remember that 'slaan' is the part that changes. 'Linksaf' stays the same.
Use 'bij'
Always use 'bij' + landmark when giving directions.
