Questions & Answers about Ik stuur jullie meteen de e-mail.
Wait, isn't jullie just a subject pronoun?
In Dutch, jullie (plural 'you') is used for both the subject and the object. Here, ik (I) is the subject doing the action, so jullie is the object receiving it. It acts as the indirect object, meaning 'to you all'.
Why does jullie come before de e-mail?
When a sentence has two objects, the person receiving something (the indirect object, jullie) generally comes before the thing being given or sent (the direct object, de e-mail). This matches the English word order 'I send you the email'.
Why is meteen placed where it is?
Time words like meteen (immediately) usually come after the main verb and pronoun objects like jullie, but before a specific direct object like de e-mail.
The translation says 'I am sending', but isn't stuur just 'I send'?
Dutch does not use a continuous '-ing' form the way English does for actions happening right now. The simple present tense stuur translates to both 'I send' and 'I am sending' depending on the context.
