“Untranslatable” Dutch words

Words English has to paraphrase

• Gunnen: to be glad someone has something, to not begrudge it. Ik gun het je van harte. (I'm really happy for you.) Dat is je gegund! (You deserve it!) The opposite: iemand het licht in de ogen niet gunnen (begrudge someone everything).
• Uitwaaien is to clear your head on a windy walk, typically on the beach; gedogen is to officially tolerate something that is technically illegal (het gedoogbeleid, as with coffeeshops); polderen is reaching compromise by endless consultation (het poldermodel).
• Prefix na- = afterwards: natafelen (linger at the table after a meal), nakaarten (discuss afterwards), nagenieten (savour afterwards). Prefix voor- = beforehand: de voorpret (the fun of looking forward to something).
• These verbs are separable: We tafelden nog lang na. We hebben nog lang nagekaart. Ik waai even uit op het strand.
• Doe maar gewoon, dan doe je al gek genoeg sums up a cultural ideal of not showing off. Gezellig, of course, is the most famous of them all.
