Questions & Answers about Het verbruiksoverzicht vergelijkt deze maand met de vorige maand.
Dutch makes compound nouns by joining them into a single word much more often than English does.
So:
- verbruik = consumption / usage
- overzicht = overview
Together, verbruiksoverzicht means a kind of overview: a consumption overview or usage summary.
A useful rule: in Dutch compounds, the last part is the main noun, and the earlier part(s) describe it.
Because the gender of a Dutch compound is determined by its final noun.
The final noun here is overzicht, and overzicht is a het-word. So the whole compound is also a het-word:
- het overzicht
- het verbruiksoverzicht
This is a very common pattern in Dutch compounds.
