Questions & Answers about Lust u de rauwe champignon evenmin?
Why is evenmin placed at the very end of the sentence?
Evenmin means "not either" or "neither," effectively replacing the phrase ook niet. Because it acts as the sentence's negation, it follows the same word order rules as niet. When negating a sentence with a specific direct object (like de rauwe champignon), the negation gets pushed to the end.
Could I just use ook niet instead of evenmin here?
Yes, you can say Lust u de rauwe champignon ook niet? In fact, ook niet is much more common in everyday spoken Dutch. Evenmin is quite formal, which is why it pairs naturally with the formal "you" pronoun u in this sentence.
Why use lusten instead of leuk vinden to say "like"?
The verb lusten is specifically and exclusively used for liking the taste of food and drinks. You would use leuk vinden for liking a movie or an activity, but never for how something tastes.
Why does the adjective rauw get an -e ending here?
