Usages of de maat
In de paskamer vraagt zij om een andere maat, want de jurk is te lang om zonder riem te dragen.
In the fitting room she asks for another size, because the dress is too long to wear without a belt.
Het is niet noodzakelijk om een grotere maat te kiezen; de jurk zit al goed.
It is not necessary to choose a bigger size; the dress already fits well.
Tijdens de uitverkoop komen we vroeg, zodat we onze maat nog kunnen vinden.
During the sale we arrive early, so that we can still find our size.
