Whether you are coming to the Netherlands for a short time, e.g. to work or to study, or planning to stay for longer, you\u2019re definitely going to be meeting lots of new people. At work, university, the gym or in the bar. It\u2019s handy to know the Dutch way of doing things, like saying hello. A simple greeting in the Netherlands may be quite different to what you\u2019re used to. So, what are the (unwritten) rules about greetings? And how can a language training<\/a> be helpful?<\/p>\n

Hello and other greetings in Dutch<\/h2>\n

There are many ways to say hello. \u2018Hoi\u2019, \u2018Hallo\u2019 and \u2018Goedendag\u2019 can be used at any time of the day. Other greetings can only be used in the morning, afternoon or evening. Also, there\u2019s sometimes a difference between formal and informal greetings.<\/p>\n

Formal greetings<\/strong> are used with business contacts, people you don\u2019t know and older people. You may choose to include the name of the person you are greeting.<\/p>\n

You can greet friends, acquaintances and family members informally<\/strong>. It\u2019s also perfectly fine to say \u2018Hoi\u2019 or \u2018Doei\u2019 to shop assistants, hairdressers or bar staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Part of the day<\/strong><\/td>\nFormal or informal greeting<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Morning \u2013 06.00 \u2013 12.00<\/td>\nGoedemorgen (meneer Janssen)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Afternoon \u2013 12.00 \u2013 18.00<\/td>\nGoedemiddag (mevrouw Jacobs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Evening \u2013 18.00 \u2013 00.00<\/td>\nGoedenavond (mevrouw Van Dalen)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Night \u2013 00.00 \u2013 06.00<\/td>\nGoedenacht (meneer Sluiter)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nDagInformal only:<\/em>
\nHallo
\nHoi
\nHee\/hey

Shaking hands<\/h2>\n

When meeting someone for the first time, you always shake his or her hand. You say your own name and then say that it\u2019s nice to meet them: \u2018Leuk om u\/je te ontmoeten\u2019. This usually happens naturally, but the (unwritten) rule says that the host should offer their hand first.<\/p>\n

Showing interest<\/h2>\n

Many Dutch people think it\u2019s important to show interest in the other person. So, when you meet someone, always ask them how they are. You can ask this in various ways.<\/p>\n

For example:
\nHoe gaat het (met je)?
\nHoe maakt u het?
\nAlles goed?<\/p>\n

If you have time for a longer conversation ask what they are going to do today or at the weekend. Many Dutch people start chatting about the weather by saying: \u2018Wat een weertje h\u00e8?\u2019<\/p>\n

Saying goodbye in Dutch<\/h2>\n

If you have had a formal or business meeting then it\u2019s polite to shake hands again when taking your leave. Once again the host will take the initiative. You thank each other for the meeting and wish each other a good day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Part of the day<\/strong><\/td>\nFormal or informal greeting<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nDaaag<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u2018Tot zo\u2019 or \u2018Tot straks\u2019?<\/h2>\n

You see some people, like your colleagues or partner, several times a day or week. If you\u2019re going to see someone again later in the day, it\u2019s nice to use \u2018Tot zo\u2019 or \u2018Tot straks\u2019. There is a (small) difference between these two ways of saying goodbye. You say \u2018Tot straks\u2019 or \u2018Tot later\u2019 if you will be seeing the person again the same day, usually in a few hours\u2019 time.<\/p>\n

Just popping out for lunch or to run an errand? You\u2019ll probably be back within an hour. Then you say: \u2018Tot zo!\u2019 The word ‘tot’ here actually means see you\u2026 in a bit or later. These short phrases are useful if you know you\u2019ll be seeing each other again the same day but are not sure exactly when.<\/p>\n

If you do know what day, part of the day or time you\u2019ll be seeing the other person again, you can mention it as you\u2019re saying goodbye.<\/p>\n

For example:
\nTot vanmiddag!
\nTot 18.00!
\nTot volgende week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Other situation<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
You\u2019ll be seeing someone later that day<\/p>\n

Sometimes you\u2019re not sure exactly what time<\/td>\n

Tot straks \u2013 Ik zie je straks<\/p>\n

Tot zo \u2013 Ik zie je zo
\nTot later \u2013 Ik zie je later<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

You do know what day, part of the day or time<\/td>\nTot morgen – Ik zie je morgen
\nTot vanavond – Ik zie je vanavond
\nTot woensdag – Ik zie je woensdag
\nTot volgende week – Ik zie je volgende week<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Before or during the weekend<\/td>\nPrettig weekend
\nFijn weekend
\nGoed weekend<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
At the beginning of the week<\/td>\nPrettige week
\nFijne week
\nGoede week<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Before going to bed<\/td>\nSlaap lekker
\nWelterusten<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Shaking hands, kissing and hugging<\/h2>\n

Want to wish your host a happy birthday at a party? You would shake hands and possibly give them three kisses or a hug. When you haven\u2019t seen someone for a long time it can also be nice to give them a more extensive greeting. But who should you just shake hands with? And who can you kiss or hug without looking weird?<\/p>\n

Is the other person someone you don\u2019t know very well, or a business contact? Stick with shaking hands. Not everyone likes being kissed by someone they hardly know. People who do know each other well may give each other three kisses on the cheek. You always start with a kiss on the left cheek, then one on the right cheek, then finally one on the left again. During the kisses you may shake hands, or you may give each other a hug before or after the kisses. Most men don\u2019t give each other kisses. Not a great fan of kisses? You can always just give someone you know well a hug.<\/p>\n
