What is the Dutch 'wiel' in English?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Wheel" is an English equivalent of "wiel."

The invention of the wheel is considered a giant leap for humankind. Traditionally, the wheel's inventors are thought to be the Mesopotamian peoples who settled between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers around 7,000 years ago. But scientists are revisiting that conclusion on the basis of improved technology and additional archaeological finds.

Specifically, it now appears that the invention of the wheel also took place about the same time in the areas of the present Balkans, central Europe and the northern Caucasus. In fact, the earliest known artistic depictions of the wheel are from outside Mesopotamia. Indeed, they instead are found in connection with the Funnelbeaker culture of people living in southern Poland by 3500 B.C.E. - 3350 B.C.E.

There're 2 meanings of the word.

The 1st one is: When someone is "knap" he is "handsome"

2nd one: "Dat is ""knap"" gedaan" = "That is welldone"

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's an discalimer found at the end of an email. It of the health service of the rotterdam rijnmond area/county/parish.

It says that the email you found it in contains personal information about the client and if it is not intended for you (which I'm guessing it isn't) you are asked to contact the county health services to correct the mistakes to prevent it from happening again and ensuring the privacy of the client.

What is an answer in Dutch to the Dutch phrases 'Hoi Hoe gaat Hoe kan het dat jij Nederlands spreekt Groetjes'?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Goed! Ik leer Nederlands. Groetjes!" may be one answer to the Dutch phrases "Hoi! Hoe gaat? Hoe kan het dat jij Nederlands spreekt? Groetjes!"

Specifically, in terms of the answer "goed" means "fine, good, well." It is in response to the words "Hoi! Hoe gaat?" ("Hello! How are you?")

The statement "Ik leer Nederlands" means "I'm learning Dutch." It is in answer to the question "Hoe kan het dat jij Nederlands spreekt?" ("How is it possible that you speak Dutch?")

Both sets of Dutch phrases end on the same note with "Groetjes" ("greetings, regards," etc.).

What is the meaning of the word De Gracht?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"De Gracht" might be a last name (It's capitalized).

"de gracht" (as a noun) means one of three things, which are all related: "the moat", "the canal" or "the city canal"

Moat is meant when Dutch talk about the historic things around castles.

Canal is uncommon, since that is translated in Dutch as "vaart" or "kanaal." That are the (smaller-than-rivers) waterways that are not confined to one place.

The most contemporary and most used meaning in Dutch is "city-canal," a canal that lies around a city. They evolved to this from moats.
