意思
Warning someone of danger.
文化背景
In Dutch traffic, 'Kijk uit!' is often accompanied by a loud bicycle bell (tring-tring). It is not considered rude to shout this at strangers; it is considered a helpful warning. Flemish speakers also use 'Kijk uit!', but they might more frequently use 'Opletten!' or 'Pas op!' in similar contexts. The tone is often slightly softer than in the Northern Netherlands. In Surinamese Dutch, 'Kijk uit' is used, but you might also hear 'Luku!' (from Sranan Tongo), which also means 'Look!'. In meetings, 'Kijk uit' is used to warn against business risks. It shows the Dutch value of 'transparantie' (transparency)—being honest about potential failures.
The 'Je' Trick
Add 'je' to make it sound caring: 'Kijk je uit?' is what you say to someone you love when they go on a trip.
Don't over-shout
Only shout it if there is immediate danger. Otherwise, say it at a normal volume to avoid heart attacks!
