However, if your requirements are not met by the existing range of already developed models at our suppliers, we will also be able to develop customer specific products. Our suppliers are able to produce them with low cavity moulds.

This enables us to offer our clients customer-specific products at relatively low investments in moulds.

This is ideal when introducing new products and in case of products that are growing in demand. It is easy to expand production capacity, thanks to these low investments and the short lead times when making additional moulds. This is the only one that follows the rules for inflection of the adjectives. For the second person plural the possessive is jullie which cannot be inflected and cannot be used as a noun, which necessitates a construction involving van:.

Practice the possessive pronouns at Quizlet 24 term, includes demonstrative and reciprocal pronouns. In English, this is used as demonstrative pronoun to indicate something in proximity. That indicates greater distance. In Dutch a similar distinction exists, but gender plays a role:.

A third, even more distant pronoun exists gene, gindse , but it is about as common as its English equivalent yon , yonder. Again, the two languages betray their kinship. In some words, a g in Dutch corresponds to a y in English.. As we have seen Dutch is on its way to a two-gender system. For inanimate nouns, this makes demonstrative pronouns a more attractive choice to refer things by than personal pronouns. As you see demonstratives do not distinguish whether a word is feminine or masculine and follow the same common-neuter pattern as the articles.

But saying hij is duur or zij is duur makes the word specifically masculine or feminine. Using die avoids the issue, because die follows the common gender pattern of the definite article. Increasingly, personal pronouns are reserved for reference to persons natural gender as in English. To refer to things people resort to substituting the demonstratives. In English reflexive pronouns always carry the ending -self -selves: In Dutch that is not always so. In fact, for a verb that is always reflexive, like zich vergissen to be mistaken the ending cannot be used:.

In other words the reflexive pronoun is identical to the clitic object form of the personal pronoun, except in the third person where it is zich. The pronoun u was originally a third person It stems from U. Vergissen can only be used with zich, but some verbs can be used with or without a reflexive pronoun.

In that case -zelf may be added:. Forming the plural of the noun itself is a bit more complicated. In English it is basically always done with -s, but in Dutch that is different. With few exceptions like ox - oxen pretty much all words simply get an -s in English. Dutch however has two main ways to form a plural: Which plural applies is best learned case by case as gender is, although we can attempt a general rule:. The ones in -a , -o , -i and -y get an apostrophe before the -s.

Unfortunately there are lots of exceptions. Many recent latinate loans from English or French and all diminutives get a -s. In the latter case, notice that one of the a's is dropped in the spelling of the plural. This difficulty is related to the fact that most Dutch vowels occur in two varieties, a closed one and an open one.

Dutch spelling has a rather ingenious and systematic way of denoting which one is intended. It involves the doubling of either vowels or consonants. In Dutch, however, the difference in length quantity is actually pretty negligible, but the difference in vowel sound quality is not. This presents a problem for speakers of the many languages with a five-vowel system, like Italian, Russian, Arabic or isiXhosa whose ears are not accustomed to this kind of difference.

Anglophones usually do quite well.

For non-native speakers a complication arises in those cases where the actual vowel changes 'lengthens' in the plural, compare:. Also, notice the gender difference of the two words. Vowel change is systematic in the plural of the past of certain strong verbs class 4 and 5; see 6. The ending -eren is essentially a double plural. It derives from a plural in -er and in some compounds that is still visible:. Some words in -ie have an -en plural that requires a diaeresis trema in Dutch.

The spelling depends on where the stress falls:. If the root of the word ends in a -z of -v this is both written and pronounced as -s and -f in the singular, but the voiced consonant returns in a plural on -en:.
