Questions & Answers about Ik zie dat jij je jas niet ophangt.
Why is ophangt written as one word at the end instead of being split up?
In a normal main clause, a separable verb splits up (like in Jij hangt je jas op). But this is a subordinate clause introduced by dat, which pushes all verbs to the end of the sentence. When a separable verb moves to the end like this, its two parts snap back together to form a single word: ophangt.
Why does this sentence use both jij and je right next to each other?
They look similar but do completely different jobs here. The first word, jij, is the emphasized subject meaning you. The second word, je, is the unstressed possessive pronoun meaning your. The sentence literally says you your coat. It sounds very natural in Dutch to use a stressed subject with an unstressed possessive.
Why is niet placed right before ophangt?
The word niet (not) usually comes after a specific object like je jas (your coat). Since this is a subordinate clause and the verb ophangt is pushed to the very end of the sentence, niet ends up sitting right in front of the verb.
Why does ophangt end with a 't' here? Doesn't the 't' sometimes drop for jij?
The 't' at the end of the verb only drops if the subject jij or je comes directly after the verb, which usually happens in questions (like: Hang jij je jas op?). Because jij comes before the verb in this clause, you use the standard rules and add the 't'.
