What does lekker mean in Dutch?
Meaning
- Laat hem lekker zitten
- just stand him up ('iemand laten zitten' = to stand someone up)'Lekker' here doesn't mean tasty: it's 'serves him right'.
Lekker starts with food (lekker! = yum), but Dutch people use it for anything pleasant: lekker weer (lovely weather), slaap lekker (sleep well), lekker rustig (nice and quiet).
It can also be cheeky: laat hem lekker zitten = just let him sit there (serves him right). And sarcastic: lekker dan! = well, great, thanks a lot.
Examples
Lekker weer vandaag!
Lovely weather today!
Slaap lekker!
Sleep well!
De trein rijdt niet. Lekker dan.
The train isn't running. Great, thanks.
