Questions & Answers about Haar houding is veranderd, wat mij volkomen fascineert.
Why do we use wat here instead of die or dat?
In this sentence, wat doesn't refer to a specific noun. Instead, it refers to the entire preceding situation (Haar houding is veranderd). Whenever you want to say "which" to comment on a whole clause, you must use wat.
Why do we say is veranderd instead of heeft veranderd?
The verb veranderen (to change) uses zijn to form the perfect tense when it describes a change of state happening to the subject itself, without a direct object. If she had actively changed something else (like her clothes), you would use hebben.
Why is the verb fascineert placed at the very end of the sentence?
The part of the sentence introduced by wat is a relative clause. These clauses use subclause word order, meaning the verb (fascineert) is pushed to the very end.
I see houding translates to "attitude" here. Does it have other common meanings?
Yes! Besides a mental "attitude", houding is also the standard Dutch word for physical "posture" (the way you hold your body).
