Questions & Answers about Onderaan bladzijde tien vind je meer voorbeelden.
What does onderaan mean here?
Onder aan (often written as one word onderaan) is a preposition/adverb meaning “at the bottom.” In this sentence it tells you where you can find the examples: at the bottom of the page.
Why is there no article before bladzijde tien?
When referring to page numbers in Dutch you typically drop the article. It’s like saying “page ten” rather than “the page ten.” If you wanted to use an article, you could say op de tiende bladzijde, but in indexing or instructions you’ll commonly see bladzijde tien.
Can I say de tiende bladzijde instead of bladzijde tien?
Yes.
- de tiende bladzijde literally means “the tenth page.”
- bladzijde tien is more of a shorthand often used in headings, tables of contents or directions.
Both are correct, but the given sentence uses the more concise form.
Why is vind je used instead of je vindt?
Dutch main clauses follow the “verb-second” rule. Because the sentence starts with the adverbial onderaan bladzijde tien (your first element), the finite verb vind must come second, pushing the subject je into third position. If you started with je vindt, you’d have a different word order:
- Je vindt meer voorbeelden onderaan bladzijde tien.
Could I rewrite it as je vindt meer voorbeelden onderaan bladzijde tien?
Yes, that’s perfectly grammatical. The difference is emphasis.
- Onderaan bladzijde tien vind je… highlights where first.
- Je vindt meer voorbeelden onderaan bladzijde tien reads more neutrally, stating you find before where.
What’s the difference between meer voorbeelden and meerdere voorbeelden?
- meer voorbeelden means “more examples”, indicating an addition to what you’ve already seen.
- meerdere voorbeelden means “several/multiple examples”, focusing on quantity rather than continuation.
In this context meer voorbeelden tells you there are additional examples waiting for you.
Can I use pagina instead of bladzijde?
Yes. pagina tien is widely used and perhaps even more common in everyday speech. Bladzijde is slightly more formal or traditional (e.g., in textbooks or legal documents).
What is the literal translation of vind je meer voorbeelden?
Literally it’s “find you more examples.” In natural English you’d say “you find more examples” or “you will find more examples.” The Dutch present tense often covers both simple present and a “near future” meaning.
