- Hoezo

Waarom asks for a reason. Hoezo asks why someone is saying or asking something. A friend asks if you're free tonight, and you answer Hoezo?: why, what's up?
It can also push back: Hoezo te laat? = what do you mean, late? Said with a raised eyebrow, it's a little suspicious, which makes it perfect for group-chat drama.
