"Do I have plates?"

Translation: Heb ik borden?

[KatAtDawn]

so to form the question one must simply rearrange the pronoun and the verb

[MihirBhagat]

Why is 'Heb ik de borden?' wrong?

[Susande]

That means 'Do I have the plates?'

[gbmel]

I still don't understand this one

[rfromel]

Same. Why not Ik heb borden? I feel dyslexic trying to learn dutch.

[Bob719019]

Do is doe - so why is 'doe ik heb borden'... wrong?

[xMerrie]

In English, you use an auxiliary verb for questions. In Dutch, you don't. :)
One of the things you cannot translate word-for-word.

[xSJC27]

Why is it rearranged?

[Sushrut924148]

Why not "doet ik heb borden "

[Simon328625]

Why is this wrong Doe Ik heeft borden

[PeterPorsk]

Strange english phrasing. People would not ask this question in english speaking countries
