Questions & Answers about Dat is geen probleem voor ons.
Why do we use geen here instead of niet to mean "not"?
In Dutch, you use geen to negate a noun that doesn't have a specific word like "the", "this", or "my" in front of it. It usually translates to "no" or "not a". Because we are saying "no problem" or "not a problem", we must use geen.
Does the word geen change depending on whether the noun is a de word or a het word?
No! That makes geen very easy to use. It stays exactly the same whether the noun is a de word, a het word (like het probleem), singular, or plural.
Why do we use dat instead of die for "that" in this sentence?
When you are pointing out a general situation or making a general statement like "That is..." or "This is...", you always use dat (for "that") or dit (for "this"). You only use die when pointing out a specific de word, like "That man" (Die man).
Why does the sentence end with ons instead of wij?
Ons means "us", while wij (or we) means "we". Because it comes after the preposition voor (for), you need the object pronoun ons. This is exactly like how we say "for us" in English instead of "for we".
