Wij kiezen de zesde kamer.

Wij means we.

Yes, you can also say we:

• Wij kiezen de zesde kamer.
• We kiezen de zesde kamer.

Both are correct. In general:

• we is more common in everyday speech
• wij is often used for emphasis, contrast, or a slightly more formal/careful tone

So this sentence could naturally appear in either form.

Because the subject is wij (we), and in the present tense Dutch uses the plural verb form.

Here is the present tense of kiezen:

• ik kies = I choose
• jij kiest = you choose
• hij/zij kiest = he/she chooses
• wij kiezen = we choose
• jullie kiezen = you choose
• zij kiezen = they choose

So wij kiezen is the correct combination.

It is not fully regular.

In the present tense, it behaves in a fairly normal way:

• ik kies
• wij kiezen

But in the past tense it is a strong verb:

• ik koos = I chose
• wij kozen = we chose
• gekozen = chosen

So it is a good verb to memorize as a whole, not just as a simple pattern.

Because kamer is a de-word in Dutch.

Dutch singular nouns usually take either:

• de
• het

You have to learn this with the noun:

• de kamer = the room

Also useful:

• all plural nouns take de
• so de kamers = the rooms

There is no simple rule that works for every noun, so learners usually memorize the article together with the noun.

Zesde means sixth.

It is the ordinal form of zes (six). Dutch uses ordinal numbers much like English does:

• een = one → eerste = first
• twee = two → tweede = second
• drie = three → derde = third
• zes = six → zesde = sixth

So:

• de zesde kamer = the sixth room

Yes. Ordinal numbers such as eerste, tweede, derde, zesde behave like adjectives when they come before a noun.

In this sentence:

• de = the
• zesde = sixth
• kamer = room

So de zesde kamer is a noun phrase meaning the sixth room.

You can compare:

• de derde dag = the third day
• het eerste huis = the first house
• de zesde kamer = the sixth room

This is the normal word order for a simple Dutch main clause:

• Wij = subject
• kiezen = finite verb
• de zesde kamer = object

So the pattern is:

subject + verb + object

More specifically, Dutch main clauses usually put the finite verb in the second position. Here the subject comes first, so the verb comes right after it.

For example:

• Wij kiezen de zesde kamer.
• Vandaag kiezen wij de zesde kamer.

In the second sentence, Vandaag is first, so the verb kiezen still stays in second position, and the subject moves after it.

Yes.

Dutch often uses the simple present where English might use either:

• we choose
• we are choosing

So Wij kiezen de zesde kamer can mean either one, depending on context.

Dutch does have ways to emphasize an ongoing action, but very often the plain present tense is enough.

Because the sentence is talking about a specific room: the sixth room.

Just like in English, Dutch uses the definite article when the thing is definite or identifiable:

• de zesde kamer = the sixth room

If you said een zesde kamer, that would mean a sixth room, which is a different idea.

So here de is not only there because kamer is a de-word; it also matches the meaning the.

A rough English-style approximation is:

wij kiezen de zesde kamer
≈ vye KEE-zuhn duh ZEZ-duh KAH-mur

A few notes:

• wij has the Dutch ij sound, which is often roughly like the vowel in eye
• kiezen starts with a clear kee-
• zesde can feel a little tricky because of the consonants in the middle
• kamer has an ah sound in the first syllable

The pronunciation will vary a bit by region, but that approximation is a useful starting point.
