Learn Dutch: Ik luister niet naar dat gezeur. - I do not listen to that whining.

It is formed by adding the prefix ge- to the verb stem of zeuren (to whine or nag). In Dutch, this specific pattern (ge- + verb stem) turns a verb into a noun to express an ongoing, often annoying or repetitive action.

Why do we use dat instead of die before gezeur?

Nouns created with the ge- prefix to indicate a continuous action are always neuter, meaning they are het words. Because gezeur is a het word, you must use the demonstrative pronoun dat for the word "that".

Is the preposition naar always required when talking about listening to something?

Yes, the verb luisteren is a fixed prepositional verb. Whenever you listen to something or someone, the combination is always luisteren naar.

Does gezeur only mean "whining"?

No, the underlying verb zeuren is a broad term for whining, nagging, and petty complaining. Depending on the exact context, dat gezeur can just as easily be translated as "that nagging" or "that complaining".
