Discussing Social Inequalities in Dutch

To discuss social issues, you need the Dutch passive voice and impersonal constructions. These allow you to talk about problems without pointing at specific people.

Passive with worden (present): De kloof wordt groter (The gap is becoming larger). Er wordt gezegd dat... (It is said that...) — the impersonal er makes the statement neutral.

Passive with zijn (state): Het probleem is erkend (The problem has been acknowledged). This describes a resulting state.

Men (one/people) is formal and impersonal: Men verwacht dat de armoede zal toenemen (One expects poverty to increase). In informal Dutch, ze (they) often replaces men.

Er wordt/worden constructions are essential: Er worden maatregelen genomen (Measures are being taken). Er wordt gediscussieerd over ongelijkheid (Inequality is being discussed).

For expressing opinions on social issues: Het is onaanvaardbaar dat... (It is unacceptable that...), Het valt niet te ontkennen dat... (It cannot be denied that...).

자주 하는 실수

~~Er wordt maatregelen genomen~~
Er worden maatregelen genomen
Maatregelen is plural, so use worden (plural) instead of wordt (singular).
~~De ongelijkheid wordt gediscussieerd~~
Er wordt gediscussieerd over de ongelijkheid
Discussiëren requires over + topic. Use the er wordt...over construction.
~~Men zeggen dat het een probleem is~~
Men zegt dat het een probleem is
Men takes a singular verb (zegt), not plural (zeggen).
~~Het probleem is worden erkend~~
Het probleem is erkend
For the passive state, use zijn + past participle directly, not zijn + worden.
~~De kloof wordt steeds meer groter~~
De kloof wordt steeds groter
Do not combine steeds meer with a comparative. Use steeds + comparative alone.
