Hi, How to I translate 'The Beef Kitchen' into Dutch? Its a company name. I've found a few translations and not sure which one is correct.

De rundvleeskeuken

De rundvlees keuken

Het rundvlees keuken

Answer:

by pieterk (NL), 2017-11-20, 16:42   Spam?  

The correct translation would be "De rundvleeskeuken". The Dutch word "keuken" is m/v, so the article is "de". And words should be written together as much as possible in Dutch, esp. when they are spoken as one word, so "rundvleeskeuken".

Good evening everybody,

I am a student from France, staying 6 months in Deventer for my studies, and on the first day I arrived I went to the convenience store (Action) to buy the basic supplies to spend the first night at least.
When I got back out, I got a parking ticket because I didn't pay, and I sincerely didn't know, I never knew you could pay for a shop's parking...

So I asked for help to a friend of mine and he wrote this for me, because I thought it would be better if the letter was in dutch rather than in english :

"Geachte mevrouw, heer,

Ik studeer op Saxion, Deventer, ik kom oorspronkelijk uit Frankrijk.
Op 25 augustus 2017 arriveerde ik in Nederland. Op zaterdag 26 augustus heb ik geparkeerd bij de Action, Rijsterborgherweg 9, 7412 VA Deventer om hier boodschappen te doen die ik nodig...

The letter basically says your reasons not to pay your parking fee are unfounded. If you don´t agree, you can appeal against the decision to the court in Overijssel. Consider well before you do so, especially if you don't speak Dutch and the fee is "only" 90 euros...

Hello,

Can anyone help me with translation of a Dutch Operation manual, it is quite technical and Google translate does not make sense.

It is:

Stap 1:
Voorbereiding

Maak een doorvoer voor het snoer van de motor.
Opmerking: opgelet voor het watergedeelte als de screen onder een gesloten ligger geplaatst wordt! Hier moet je zorgen dat je altijd perfect in het profiel monteert en max 12mm diep boort. Als de screen onder een gootprofiel gemonteerd wordt, blijf je sowieso onder het technisch gedeelte.

Stap 2:
Bevestig de montageprofielen

Monteer de montageprofielen (AP2003) aan de paalprofielen en aan de ligger van het Umbris lamellendak.
1. Zorg ervoor dat de middelste lijn van het montageprofiel precies op 50mm vanaf de zijkant van het paalprofiel en ligger komt.
2. Plaats het montageprofiel...

Hi, launching a video doorbell product into Holland as a university project. And need some copy for a pretend advertisement.

'Home security system'

'30 day money back guarantee'

I tried Google translate of course. Just thought a native speaker could help me out.

Many thanks form Ireland

'30 dagen niet-goed-geld-teruggarantie' = 30 day money back guarantee

There is not a literal translation for 'home security system', but I'd use:
'beveiligingssysteem voor het huis'
'alarmsysteem voor uw woning'

Found a funky dutch tile with an image of a man sitting on a toilet with a cigarette in one hand, megaphone in the other, newspaper at his feet.

The text says "zeg't voort, zeg't voort, 'n korte tÿd is wat hier hoort"

Google translated this to mean "Say on, say a short word is what's here", which doesn't make sense to me in the context- what would that have to do with the image? If someone can crack this one for me I would be so grateful! This is a funny little mystery.

Thanks in advance!

I think it means

I have just come into possession of my Opa's letter.
He died long ago yet has great great grandchildren here in New Zealand.
I have a letter written to his son, my father, in Dutch, and would like to find someone who has the time to translate it into English for my mother, wife of the recipient.
It is 3 pages of close type. I consider that a long letter. Can anyone offer help in translating this?

I can email the letter scan document as an attachment to email perhaps.

Hi,

Ho would you translate the following sentence:

Van beide soorten verzoeken statistieken volgen.

Answer:

by pieterk (NL), 2017-11-20, 16:50   Spam?  

Hi,
The sentence doesn't make much sense to me, as I do not have any context. But the word order seems to be wrong and might have to be: "Van beide (soorten) verzoeken volgen er statistieken", which means: "Of both (kinds of) requests, statistics follow". Would this be helpful?

Hello all

I am learning Dutch online (very slowly). What I need is a best suitable book. For German I knew some books like Studio D, Netzwerk, Tangaram and for French some books. Like that, is there any Dutch learning book with colourful photos? Sorry, If my query is not suitable to this forum.

Please suggest me a Dutch learning book (Work book + course book for beginners with audio CD). Thanks.

Answer:

by wbk (BE), 2017-03-17, 09:43   Spam?  

I never needed a Dutch course, but I have a few courses for self-study in other languages which are fairly good.
You could try "Colloquial Dutch" (with CD) or ( a bit more elaborate) books from the "Prisma Taaltraining" (mp3s can be downloaded)
http://www.prisma.nl/boek/9789000352784/Nederlands-voor-Buitenlande...
http://www.prisma.nl/boek/9789000351312/Dutch-for-Self-study/
http://www.routledgetextbooks.com/textbooks/colloquial/language/dut...
Neither of them contains a lot of photos, as far as I know.

Good luck!
