Cause and Effect in Dutch Reviews

When writing reviews in Dutch, you need connectors that express cause and effect: omdat (because), daarom (therefore), dus (so), daardoor (as a result).

Omdat (subordinating — verb to end):

Ik beveel dit restaurant aan omdat het eten uitstekend is. — I recommend this restaurant because the food is excellent.

Daarom (therefore — triggers inversion):

De service was slecht. Daarom geef ik maar twee sterren. — The service was bad. Therefore I give only two stars.

Dus (so — no inversion, coordinating):

Het was druk, dus we moesten lang wachten. — It was busy, so we had to wait a long time.

Daardoor (as a result — triggers inversion):

De kamers waren schoon. Daardoor voelden we ons op ons gemak. — The rooms were clean. As a result, we felt comfortable.

Review structure: Start with your overall impression, give specific details with omdat/want, then conclude with a recommendation using daarom/dus. Use Ik zou dit aanbevelen (I would recommend this) or Ik raad dit af (I advise against this).
