		<description>This is a very good site. I really like it. If you know a little dutch and english, you can guess some of the idioms. Great job, thank you for all the work you&#039;ve put into this. Very few resources on the net for Dutch.</description>

		<description>Iemand de laan uitsturen. To fire someone.

Dat doet de deur dicht! That does it!

Een boom opzetten. To have a nice conversation with someone.

De eerste klap is een daalder waard. Doing something right from the beginning gives you a lead.

Beter een half ei dan een lege dop. Half an egg is better then an empty shell. Having or getting little is better than nothing.

De Puntjes op de i zetten. To make the finishing touch. To dot the i&#039;s and cross the t&#039;s.

Je kunt geen ijzer met handen breken. You cannot do impossible things.

 Zij zetten de bloemetjes buiten. They are celebrating.

Met de hoed in de hand komt men door het hele land. Taking your hat off will take you through the land. Politeness is the key to success.

Nieuwe bezems vegen schoon. New people in a group often have new ideas.

Lange vingers hebben. To be light-fingered.</description>

		<description>Geen rozen zonder doornen. Literally: No roses without thorns. Every good thing has its downsides.

Achter de wolken schijnt de zon. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Waar een wil is, is een weg. Where there&#039;s a will, there&#039;s a way

Hoge bomen vangen veel wind.  People in important positions are harshly critisised.

Lange tenen hebben. To be offended easily.

Vragen staat vrij. Feel free to ask questions.

Hebben is hebben, krijgen is de kunst. Having something is easier than obtaining it.

Over ditjes en datjes praten. To make small talk.

Hij loopt niet in zeven sloten tegelijk. He can take care of himself.

Spreken is silver, zwijgen is goud. Spelling error! This should be: Spreken is zilver, zwijgen is goud. Speech is silver, silence is gold.

Elke huisje heeft zijn kruisje. Every family has its issues.

Vooruit dan maar; jij bent ook niet iederen! Iederen is not a word, iedereen means everyone. All right, I&#039;ll do it just because it&#039;s you.

Hij kent het verschil niet tussen mijn en dijn. Literally: he does not know the difference between mine and his. He is a thief.

Daar kun je naar fluiten! Fat chance!

Het paard achter de wagen spannen. To lay hands on something the wrong way.</description>
