A2 Idiom 非正式

dat is een makkie

that is a piece of cake

意思

Something that is very easy to do.

🌍

文化背景

The Dutch value 'nuchterheid' (sobriety/practicality). Calling something a 'makkie' is a way to show you are not stressed and that you are capable without bragging too much. The word 'makkie' has strong roots in Amsterdam dialect. You might hear it more frequently and with a stronger accent in the capital city. While understood in Flanders, Flemish speakers might more often use 'dat is kinderspel' or 'dat is simpel'. 'Makkie' sounds very 'Northern' (Dutch) to them. In Surinamese Dutch, 'makkie' is also used, but it competes with other local idioms influenced by Sranan Tongo.

💡

Use it for reassurance

If a friend is nervous about a simple task, say 'Makkie!' to boost their confidence.

⚠️

Watch your tone

If you say it too proudly, you might sound like you are bragging. Keep it light!
