B1 Expression 中性

op je hoede zijn

to be on your guard

意思

To be careful and alert for danger.

🌍

文化背景

The Dutch are generally trusting but very 'zakelijk' (business-like). Being 'op je hoede' is seen as a sign of intelligence in negotiations, not necessarily a lack of trust. Flemish speakers use this phrase similarly, but might also use 'op zijn qui-vive zijn' (from French), which sounds slightly more formal or old-fashioned. In Surinamese Dutch, the phrase is well-understood, though local expressions like 'kijk uit' or Sranan Tongo equivalents might be more common in informal speech. With the rise of WhatsApp fraud ('vriend-in-nood-fraude'), the Dutch police frequently use this phrase in social media campaigns to warn citizens.

No, it's more about being 'alert' or 'cautious'. Paranoia is 'paranoïde zijn'. 'Op je hoede zijn' is usually seen as a rational response to a potential risk.

Not really. It almost always implies a negative or risky potential outcome.

Because 'hoede' is an old word for protection. 'Hoed' means hat. They are different words!

It's neutral. You can use it with friends, but you'll also see it in serious newspapers.
