意思
Something is obvious.
文化背景
Reflects the 'nuchterheid' (down-to-earth) culture. Dutch people value directness and often find over-explaining to be patronizing or inefficient. While used in Flanders, Flemish speakers might also use 'Dat spreekt vanzelf,' which is slightly more common in the south. Using this phrase shows confidence in your data. It implies that the facts are so strong they don't need a salesperson to 'spin' them. Teachers use it to encourage students to look for logical patterns. However, if used too much, it can be seen as a lack of willingness to teach.
The 'Of Course' Hack
If you are tired of saying 'natuurlijk', use 'dat spreekt voor zich' to sound more like a native speaker.
Tone Matters
Be careful with your tone. If you say it too sharply, you might sound like you're calling the other person slow.

常见问题
12 个问题Yes, adding '-zelf' is grammatically correct and adds a bit of emphasis, but 'voor zich' is more common.
It is neutral. You can use it with your boss or your best friend.
'Vanzelfsprekend' is an adjective (That is self-evident), while 'spreekt voor zich' is a verb phrase (That speaks for itself).
Usually no. You wouldn't say 'Hij spreekt voor zich' to mean he is obvious. You use it for facts, situations, or actions.
No, as long as you are referring to professional standards or clear results.
Use 'sprak': 'Toen ik de foto zag, sprak het voor zich.'
Yes: 'Spreekt dat niet voor zich?' (Isn't that obvious?)
Not exactly, but 'Logisch!' or 'Duh!' are the slang equivalents.
No, you can use a noun: 'De uitslag spreekt voor zich.'
Yes, very common in journalism and business reports.
No, that means 'That speaks in my favor' or 'That is my opinion'. It's a different expression.
Prepositions in idioms are often arbitrary. You just have to memorize 'voor'.
