Verbal prefixes
Werkwoordelijke voorvoegsels
In Dutch both separable and inseparable verbal prefixes are used to form
new words. This is a very economical means of vocabulary building. In
many instances there are parallel examples in English, e.g. gaan = to go,
ondergáán = to undergo; kijken = to look, ópkijken = to look up. (The
accents are not normally written but merely serve here to indicate the stress.)
Often, however, the addition of a prefix in Dutch renders a totally new
word, e.g. spreken = to speak, tegenspreken = to contradict; huren = to
hire/rent, verhuren = to rent out; geven = to give, toegeven = to admit;
overgeven = to vomit, uitgeven = to spend/publish.
Separable verbs are recognized by the fact that the prefix bears the stress;
this is not the case with inseparable verbs, e.g. vóórstellen = to introduce,
voorspéllen = to predict.
A verb that normally takes hebben in the perfect tense may, by the addition
of a prefix, take on a new meaning which requires zijn in the perfect; the
reverse is also true, e.g. staan ‘to stand’ takes hebben but opstaan ‘to get/stand
up’ takes zijn; komen ‘to come’ takes zijn but voorkomen ‘to prevent’ takes
hebben. This is so because the use of zijn or hebben has to do with meaning,
i.e. zijn is used in the case of all verbs that indicate a movement from one
position to another or a change of state. (see 11.7.2)
