Questions & Answers about Jullie zijn uniseks T-shirts met een retro opdruk aan het uitdelen.
Why doesn't retro get an -e ending here, even though opdruk is a de-word (de opdruk)?
Because retro is a loanword ending in a vowel. In Dutch, many adjectives ending in vowels like -a, -i, -o, or -y are invariable. This means they never get an -e added to them, regardless of the noun's gender or whether it is singular or plural.
Why isn't there an -e added to uniseks before the plural noun T-shirts?
Just like retro, uniseks is an invariable adjective. It is a loanword, and many modern loanwords used as adjectives in Dutch never change their form or take an -e ending.
The verb uitdelen (to hand out) is separable. Why isn't it split into delen ... uit here?
Because the sentence uses the zijn ... aan het continuous construction. In this structure, the main verb is placed at the very end of the sentence as a full infinitive. When a separable verb is used as a full infinitive, the prefix stays attached to the core verb.
Why is uniseks spelled with ks instead of x like in English?
