Significado
To share the same understanding or opinion.
Contexto cultural
The Dutch 'Poldermodel' values consensus. Being on the same wavelength is often a prerequisite for starting a project. Flemish speakers use this idiom frequently as well, though they might be slightly more formal in their overall tone compared to the Randstad Dutch. In modern Dutch startups, this phrase is often used to describe 'cultural fit' during the hiring process. On apps like Tinder or Bumble, Dutch people often mention 'golflengte' or 'klik' as what they are looking for.
Use 'Komen' for the process
If you aren't there yet, say 'We moeten op dezelfde golflengte KOMEN'. It shows you are working on the relationship.
Avoid 'Pagina'
Even though many Dutch people speak English, using 'op dezelfde pagina' is still considered a sign of a weak Dutch vocabulary.
