9.4.2
The material adjectives betonnen ‘concrete’, gouden ‘golden’, houten
‘wooden’, ijzeren ‘iron’, marmeren ‘marble’ etc. can only be used
attributively. Predicatively one says van beton, van goud etc., e.g. dit houten
huis ‘this wooden house’, Dit huis is van hout ‘This house is made of
wood’.
9.5
Predicative adjectives followed by prepositions
It is impossible to give a complete list of such adjectives, particularly of
those derived from verbs, but the list below will serve as a guide. Many
have the same preposition as in English. If in doubt, a good dictionary
should indicate which preposition to use. An asterisk indicates those which
can either precede or follow the object to which they refer, most of them
being derived from verbs (i.e. past participles):
Ik was zeer in zijn verhaal geïnteresseerd or
Ik was zeer geïnteresseerd in zijn verhaal.
I was very interested in his story.
Hij is met haar getrouwd or
Hij is getrouwd met haar.
He is married to her.
By following the objects they govern such adjectives stand at the end of
the clause in the usual position for a past participle.
The other adjectives in this list can also follow the object they refer to but
usually only for particular emphasis:
Met jóú ben ik tevreden. (< Ik ben tevreden met jou.)
I am satisfied with you.
Tegen míj was hij aardig. (< Hij was aardig tegen mij.)
He was nice to me.
Some others, not derived from past participles, can also be found following
the object they govern:
Hij is financieel afhankelijk van zijn vader or
Hij is van zijn vader financieel afhankelijk.
He is financially dependent on his father.
