Questions & Answers about De scènes in deze film zijn te voorspelbaar.
Why does scènes have an accent and take an s for the plural?
Scène is a loanword from French. Dutch often keeps the original spelling and accents for these words. Because it ends in an unstressed e sound, its plural is formed by adding an s rather than en.
Why do we use deze before film instead of dit?
You use deze for 'this' because film is a de word (de film). If you were talking about a het word, you would use dit (for example, dit script).
How is the adjective voorspelbaar formed?
It is built from the verb voorspellen, which means 'to predict'. The suffix -baar works exactly like the English suffix '-able', making the literal translation 'predictable'.
Does te always mean 'too' like it does in te voorspelbaar?
When placed directly before an adjective, te means 'too' in the sense of 'excessively'. However, you will also frequently see te used as 'to' before an infinitive verb, such as in the structure om te voorspellen (in order to predict).
