In-depth Comparison: English vs Dutch

English and Dutch both belong to the West Germanic language group, sharing historical and linguistic roots. This results in notable similarities, yet the two languages also have key differences.

  • Similarities:
    • Vocabulary overlap due to common Germanic origins (e.g. “water” in both languages).
    • Subject-Verb-Object sentence structure.
    • Use of articles (“a/an/the” in English, “een/de/het” in Dutch).
  • Differences:
    • Dutch has grammatical gender (de/het), whereas English does not.
    • Verb conjugations differ: Dutch has more verb endings and separable verbs.
    • Sound and pronunciation differences, with Dutch using guttural sounds not present in English.
    • Dutch plural formation often uses "-en" or "-s", while English mainly uses "-s".

When translating, it’s essential to pay close attention to false friends (words that look similar but have different meanings), differences in pronoun usage, and idiomatic expressions specific to each language.
