Learn Dutch: Hij zal zich de gênante situatie wel herinneren, vandaar dat hij bloost. - He probably remembers the embarrassing situation, which is why he blushes.

The phrase vandaar dat acts as an explanatory subordinating conjunction (similar to omdat or zodat). The word dat is the trigger that sends the conjugated verb (bloost) to the end of the clause. If you were to use vandaar on its own without dat, it would act as an adverb and trigger inversion instead: vandaar bloost hij.

How does zal ... wel translate to 'probably'? I thought zullen means 'will'.

While zullen often marks the future tense, combining it with the modal particle wel is a very common Dutch way to express a strong assumption or probability. Instead of 'he will remember', the combination zal ... wel translates closer to 'he must remember' or 'he probably remembers'.

Why is zich placed before de gênante situatie?

The verb zich herinneren (to remember) is reflexive, so it requires the reflexive pronoun zich. In a main clause with an auxiliary verb like zal, the reflexive pronoun typically goes as early as possible in the middle part of the sentence, right after the conjugated verb and the subject.

The word gênante looks French. How does it follow Dutch grammar rules here?
