Because in the Dutch language: omdat and want

Because in the Dutch language: omdat and want

To use because in Dutch can be pretty confusing, because there are three ways you can translate the word! Let's take a look and learn how to use omdat, want and door.

Want to learn Dutch in Dutch with my online courses?

I might get money too to book lessons if you buy through the link.

This channel is made to learn Dutch for English speakers. By learning Dutch with videos, you'll learn basic Dutch pronunciation, by learning it online with many Dutch phrases and Dutch words. We'll also see basic Dutch grammar as well as tips on how to speak Dutch. The accent used is from Belgium, so it's Belgian Dutch, which is also understood in the Netherlands.

Short and sweet (and excellent) explanation.

Dankjewel voor deze video
I recently bought one of your beginners course and I found it to be a lot better than Duolingo
Just one thing I would like to add is that although you do a good job explaining the word through body language I think sometimes explaining in English will help a lot.

Hii, I really like your lessons! please do a video on the uses of 'hebben' an 'zijn'. Thanks :)

How come at 2:26 the final verb “hebben” is “heb”? I thought when the second verb goes on the end it’s in the infinitive form...

Hi Alain! Can I put "door" in the middle of the sentence? For example "Ik kom te laat door mijn autoproblemen"?

[JL-kwqc]

Hi teacher, you have told us the usage of omdat, want, and door. However, what is the usage of doordat?

[iouribo]

Hi Alain. I have a question about the pronunciation of double e. Like in word heet. You pronounce it as a long e like [hi:t]. Other people pronounce it like ei - like [heit]. Is it just an accent?

Hi
What is subclaus and main clause?

[sayantanibandyopadhyay]

Hi Alain!
Sometimes we use "vanwege" too for "because of". How does that work ?

[MiltonJava]

I see you have to separate the verb with omdat.

[juanfran]

Great, sentence structure with want = denn in German, omdat = weil ( + Verb at the end ), as in German

[linashyshova]

Is there a difference in meaning of these two words?

[m_smelo]

You explain the structural consequence of using omdat vs want, but never explained what is the semantic difference that would make me pick one or the other (assuming the subordinate is the second in either case). Thoughts?

If you’re going to say ‘because of’ you also have vanwege. :)
