Questions & Answers about Dit partnerschap belooft erg succesvol te worden.
Why is it dit partnerschap and not deze partnerschap?
Nouns ending in -schap can be either de or het words. When the suffix indicates a role, status, or position (like het moederschap, het lidmaatschap, or het partnerschap), it forms a het word, which is why we use dit. Abstract concepts like de vriendschap or de wetenschap are typically de words.
Why does the Dutch sentence use te worden (to become) instead of te zijn (to be)?
How do you form the plural of partnerschap?
Nouns ending in -schap generally take -en in the plural. For partnerschap, you also have to double the final consonant to maintain the short 'a' vowel sound, resulting in partnerschappen.
Could I use zeer instead of erg here?
Yes, both erg and zeer mean 'very' and work perfectly in this sentence. Erg succesvol sounds natural and conversational, while zeer succesvol carries a slightly more formal or professional tone.
