  • Where Are You?3:25


    This is the second part of our lesson on the verb zijn, which is "to be".

    When you want to know where something or someone is, you use the verb zijn in Dutch.

    For example, when someone asks you on the phone Waar ben je? That means
    "Where are you?"

    Let's break it down.
