Doe Normaalnet goed
What does net goed mean?
Meaning
- Net goed
- serves him right
Net goed! is the Dutch 'serves you right' or 'serves him right'. It's pure, satisfying justice in two words, usually about someone who isn't there.
Net on its own means 'just' (ik ben net thuis = I just got home), but in this fixed phrase it's all about getting what you deserve.
Examples
Hij at al mijn chips op en nu heeft hij buikpijn. Net goed!
He ate all my crisps and now he has a stomach ache. Serves him right!
Ze heeft haar trein gemist. Net goed, ze is altijd te laat.
She missed her train. Serves her right, she's always late.
