Questions & Answers about Kun jij raden wat de aanwijzing betekent?
Why is the verb betekent at the very end of the sentence?
The word wat (what) connects the two halves of the sentence and introduces a subordinate clause (wat de aanwijzing betekent). In Dutch subordinate clauses, the conjugated verb is always pushed to the very end.
Why is it Kun jij instead of Kunt jij?
When the pronoun jij or je comes right after the verb to form a question, the verb drops its -t ending. So the normal statement jij kunt becomes the question kun jij.
Why are the verbs kun and raden separated from each other?
Because this is a yes/no question, the conjugated verb (kun) moves to the front. The second verb (raden) is in its full infinitive form and must go to the end of its own main clause, right before the wat part begins.
