The Passive Voice in Dutch News

Dutch news headlines frequently use the passive voice (de lijdende vorm). The passive is formed with worden + past participle (present) or zijn + past participle (completed action).

Present passive (worden):

De verdachte wordt onderzocht. — The suspect is being investigated.

Past passive (werd/werden):

De man werd gearresteerd. — The man was arrested.

Perfect passive (zijn + past participle):

Het gebouw is verwoest. — The building has been destroyed.

The past participle in Dutch usually starts with ge- and ends in -d or -t (regular) or -en (irregular):

arresteren → gearresteerd (regular)
verwoesten → verwoest (regular, no ge- because of ver- prefix)
vrijlaten → vrijgelaten (irregular)

Headlines often drop articles and auxiliary verbs for brevity: "Man gearresteerd na inbraak" (Man arrested after break-in). Understanding this shortened style is key to reading Dutch news.

Note: verbs with prefixes be-, er-, ge-, her-, ont-, ver- do NOT add ge- in the past participle.
