"The tea is tasty."

Translation: De thee is lekker.

[JohanndeBoer]

Is "Het thee is lekker" also acceptable?

[Lenkvist]

No, it's "de thee".

[Larry_Hoover]

I think there are "het words" and "de words" and thee is a "De word"

[papayaflausch]

are there any rules when to use 'het' and when 'de'?

[Dzhocef]

It's best to learn het and de with the words they belong to. I took French in school and I wish I paid more attention to whether words use the correct "the" form

[p8c]

yes, i think i saw them in the discussion by one of the dutch moderators.

[Camila957302]

No they are not. You just learn which words are het and which are de. It sucks because for example 1 book will be het boek but more than 1 will be de boeken. No rule just need to know when to use each :(

[Alex594942]

ive read here before that all plurals are 'de' by default

[trevthompson7]

Is there an equivalent to the German phrase "Es schmeckt mir" in Dutch?

[Camila957302]

You can say "Het is lekker"

[Damian58763]

Der Tee ist lecker = De thee is lekker ;)

[AnnalisaAb6]

How do you pronounce thee in dutch (tay) or (english-- tea)
