- "elk vlees" sounds very strange to me - didn't you rather mean "enig vlees"? :)

Mathieu Saturday 18th of February 2006 10:46:17 PM
- Hmm I think "enig vlees" is also pretty strange, or at least too formal or something. Can we settle for 'elk soort vlees' perhaps? :)

Daan Sunday 19th of February 2006 05:40:38 PM
- I think we can actually leave "elk" out - the sentence "Bevat het vlees?" sounds better to me than any of the alternatives we have provided :)

Mathieu Sunday 19th of February 2006 06:55:35 PM
- Hmja I didn't really understand what the deal was with the whole 'any ...' phrases in this lesson, there, now it's just 'meat - vlees' :p
You're right, the fact English inserts that weird little 'any' in there tells more about English than about Dutch, so let's just drop the 'any' entirely :)
