The Netherlands should be highlighted for ë but isn't

ï, ö, ü, ä as well (as a diaeresis, not an umlaut)

I can't think of any examples using those

Geïnteresseerd, geïntegreerd, geüniformeerd.

Die eerste 2, natuurlijk, ik weet niet waarom ik dat niet kon bedenken.

Geüniformeerd heb ik nog nooit gezien, zijn er ook woorden met ö of ä?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Coördineren. Met een ä kan ik niet bedenken of vinden.

And for à, as in "30 à 50 wilde varkens".

Also é and è: crème, café, etc. Words that originate from France, but they’re used in the Netherlands as well. We also use the accent aigu for emphasis. Also ê for maîtresse, crêpe, etc.

Or just greeting someone with “hé daar!”
