Questions & Answers about Neem dit formulier en vul het in; hiermee kun je korting krijgen.
What form of the verb is Neem in “Neem dit formulier…” and why is it used here?
Neem is the informal singular (and by extension informal plural) imperative of nemen. It’s used to give a direct command: “Take this form.” If you wanted to be more formal, you could use Neemt u:
- Informal: Neem dit formulier…
- Formal: Neemt u dit formulier alstublieft…
Why is vul het in written separately instead of invul het?
Because invullen is a separable verb in Dutch. In main clauses (and imperatives), you split it:
- vul (root)
- het (object pronoun)
- in (particle)
In subordinate clauses you keep it together: “Ik wil dat je het formulier invult.”
What does het refer to in vul het in?
het is a neutral pronoun referring back to dit formulier. In Dutch you replace a het-word (neuter noun) with het when you use a pronoun.
