[edit]Usage notes
[edit]- Only used in this exact form; there is no variation by number, tense or person. Thus it may only be used by a singular speaker in the present tense to refer to themselves. (A more flexible option is found in verbs such as het niet weten and geen idee hebben, which, being regular verbs, can be used for different tenses, persons and numbers.)
