Questions & Answers about Oké, dat is goed.
Why does Oké have an accent mark on the last letter?
The accent mark (é) tells you to pronounce it with a long sound, like the "ay" in "say". Without it, a single 'e' at the end of a Dutch word usually sounds like a soft "uh". This keeps it sounding like the English "Okay".
Can I just translate "fine" as fijn in this sentence?
It is better to use goed. While fijn is a real Dutch word meaning "nice" or "pleasant", Dutch speakers use goed (literally "good") to mean "fine" or "alright" when agreeing to something.
How do I pronounce the 'g' in goed?
The Dutch 'g' is a raspy, scraping sound made in the back of your throat. It is very different from the hard English 'g' in "go".
Is dat is goed a common phrase for agreeing with someone?
Absolutely. If someone suggests a time to meet or offers a solution, saying Oké, dat is goed is the standard, natural way to say "Okay, that works for me" or "That sounds good".
