Questions & Answers about De wijn in de aanbieding is lekkerder.
Why is it lekkerder and not just lekkerer?
The base adjective is lekker (tasty), which ends in an r. In Dutch, when an adjective ends in r, we add -der instead of just -er to make the comparative. This makes it easier to say. So, lekker becomes lekkerder (tastier).
Does in de aanbieding just mean 'in the offer'?
Literally, yes, but in everyday Dutch it is the standard way to say that an item is 'on sale' or discounted. So de wijn in de aanbieding means the wine that is currently on sale at the store.
Can we use lekker for drinks like wine?
Yes! While it translates to 'tasty', Dutch uses lekker for anything that tastes good, including all drinks. You will also see it used to describe nice weather, a comfortable chair, or feeling good.
Could I change the word order to De in de aanbieding wijn?
No, just like in English, the phrase in de aanbieding comes after the noun it describes. You must say de wijn in de aanbieding (the wine on sale).
