Questions & Answers about Ik sport vaak, maar vooral op zondag.
Why does vaak come right after sport?
Vaak (often) is an adverb of frequency. In a main clause with one verb, these adverbs usually go right after the conjugated verb. This is why we say Ik sport vaak, unlike English where it can sometimes go before the verb.
Wait, is sport a verb here?
Yes! In Dutch, sporten is a regular verb meaning to exercise, work out, or play sports. While in English you usually say I play sports or I do sports, in Dutch you can just use the verb and say Ik sport.
What exactly does vooral mean in this sentence?
Vooral means especially, mainly, or mostly. In this sentence, it emphasizes that while the person exercises often, Sunday is the primary day they do it.
Do we always use op for days of the week?
Yes, just like in English where you say on Sunday, Dutch uses the preposition op for days of the week, as in op zondag.
