Learn Dutch: Is deze methode goed genoeg om te blijven gebruiken? - Is this method good enough to keep using?

In an om ... te clause with multiple infinitives, the word te must go right before the entire verb cluster. Here, blijven acts as an auxiliary verb to the main verb gebruiken. Because Dutch keeps these infinitive clusters together at the end of the clause, you cannot split them by squeezing te in the middle.

How does blijven mean "keep" in this sentence?

The verb blijven literally means "to stay" or "to remain". However, when it is followed by another infinitive like gebruiken, it indicates an ongoing action. Together, blijven gebruiken translates perfectly to "keep using" or "continue using".

Why is it goed and not goede, since methode is a de-word?

Adjectives only get an -e ending when they come directly before the noun they modify. Because goed is used later in the sentence (as a predicate adjective describing the method), it stays in its basic, uninflected form.

Is the word order for goed genoeg strict?

Yes. Just like in English, the word genoeg (enough) always comes immediately after the adjective or adverb it modifies. So it is always goed genoeg (good enough) and never genoeg goed.
