Wij reizen in april.

Yes. Wij and we both mean we.

• Wij is the stressed or more emphatic form.
• We is the unstressed form and is very common in everyday Dutch.

So these are both correct:

• Wij reizen in april.
• We reizen in april.

In normal conversation, we reizen in april is often more natural unless you want extra emphasis on we.

Because the subject is wij = we, and with we/wij in the present tense, Dutch usually uses the full infinitive form of the verb.

The verb is reizen = to travel.

Present tense:

• ik reis = I travel
• jij reist = you travel
• hij/zij reist = he/she travels
• wij reizen = we travel
• jullie reizen = you all travel
• zij reizen = they travel

So wij reizen is the correct matching form.

Grammatically, it is present tense, but it often refers to the future.

Dutch very often uses the present tense for planned future events, especially when there is a time expression such as in april.

So Wij reizen in april can mean:

• We travel in April
• We are traveling in April
• We will travel in April

All of those can match the Dutch sentence depending on context.

In Dutch, months normally take in.

So:

• in april = in April
• in mei = in May
• in december = in December

This works very much like English.

In Dutch, names of months are normally written with a lowercase letter.

So Dutch writes:

• april
• januari
• oktober

This is different from English, where April is capitalized.

The basic word order here is:

subject + verb + time expression

So:

• Wij = subject
• reizen = verb
• in april = time expression

This is a very normal Dutch main-clause word order.

Also remember the verb-second rule in Dutch main clauses: the finite verb usually comes in the second position. Here that verb is reizen, and it comes right after the subject.

Yes, that is also correct.

When you start the sentence with the time expression, Dutch still keeps the verb in second position:

• Wij reizen in april.
• In april reizen wij.

The second version puts more focus on in april.

In everyday Dutch, you will also often hear:

• In april reizen we.

A rough English-friendly guide is:

• wij ≈ vay or wye, but with the Dutch ij sound
• reizen ≈ RYE-zuh(n)

A few useful pronunciation notes:

• w in Dutch is usually softer than English w, somewhat between English w and v.
• ij is a common Dutch vowel sound, somewhat like the vowel in my or eye, though not exactly the same.
• The z in reizen is voiced, like English z in zoo.
• The final -en is often pronounced as a weak uh(n) in normal speech.

Yes, you can, but it is not always the most natural choice.

• Wij reizen in april is simple and natural.
• Wij gaan in april reizen is also possible, but it can sound more like we are going to travel in April and may feel a bit more deliberate or planned.

Dutch often prefers the simple present tense where English might use going to or will.

So in many situations, Wij reizen in april is the better default choice.

No. Reizen can be used without a direct object.

It simply means to travel.

So Wij reizen in april is a complete sentence by itself.

If you want, you can add more information, for example:

• Wij reizen in april naar Spanje. = We are traveling to Spain in April.
• Wij reizen in april met de trein. = We are traveling by train in April.

It is neutral, but wij sounds slightly more formal or emphatic than we.

So:

• Wij reizen in april. = correct, neutral to slightly formal/emphatic
• We reizen in april. = very common in everyday speech

Both are good Dutch.
