One should be careful of verbs ending in -eren. The majority, those with
the stress on the ending, are usually of French origin and add -de/-den
after doubling the e of the ending, e.g. reservéren ‘to reserve’ – reservéérde(n).
Those with the stress on the stem vowel, always of Dutch origin, do not
double the e, e.g. lúísteren ‘to listen’ – lúísterde, herínneren ‘to remind’ –
herínnerde. (These accents are not normally written but are used here merely
to indicate the difference in stress.) Here’s a sample list of verbs ending
in -eren, those like reserveren are on the left and those like luisteren and
herinneren are on the right:
blokkeren to block fluisteren to whisper
feliciteren to congratulate schilderen to paint
halveren to halve veranderen to change
informeren to inform
zich interesseren to be interested
organiseren to organize
proberen to try
stofferen to upholster
studeren to study
trakteren to treat
waarderen to appreciate
Verbs such as regenen ‘to rain’, wandelen ‘to go for a walk’ and winkelen
‘to shop’ are all stressed on the first syllable and thus follow luisteren.
(See 8.1.1 (d) for the use of an enclitic n with ik and ie (i.e. hij) after
verbs ending in -de/-te.)
