Iām studying the Dutch language. Iāve heard āwerk zeā and I can somewhat understand the post but not enough to get what it actually means. What is āwerk zeā supposed to actually mean and where is it used?
Itās used as an informal way to tell someone that you wish them āluckā/āsuccesā during work. The English equivalent would be: āHave fun/good luck at workā. Itās something like that, Iām finding it quite difficult to literally translate it because itās more of a cultural meaning than any official definition.
Oh thatās good to know, thanks. Then the original post makes sense. Thanks :)
It would literally translate to āwork themā. This construct is often used when wishing someone well or comfort during an activity. I think it might be comparable to the them in āshow them whoās bossā, but even more vague.
An interesting Dutch article can be found at OnzeTaal.nl, but that might be more text than you wished for.
If not: lees ze!
Broer dit is abnormaal raar
