Questions & Answers about Dit ingrediënt is veganistisch en het gerecht is ook veganistisch.
Why does ook come right before veganistisch in the second clause?
The word ook is placed immediately before the specific information it highlights. Because it emphasizes the adjective veganistisch, it must sit right in front of it at the end of the middle field.
Why does the word ingrediënt have two dots over the letter e?
Those two dots form a trema. Dutch uses a trema to show that a vowel starts a new syllable instead of combining with the vowel before it. Without the trema, the ie would sound like a single English "ee". The trema ensures it is pronounced as two distinct vowel sounds.
Why do we use dit for dit ingrediënt?
The noun ingrediënt is a het word (het ingrediënt). When pointing out a singular het word, you must use the demonstrative pronoun dit (this) or dat (that).
Does the word en affect the word order in the second half of the sentence?
No, en (and) is a coordinating conjunction, which means it joins two main clauses without changing their word order. The second half just follows the standard subject-verb structure: het gerecht followed by the verb is.
