*heard
Relationship between Danish and Dutch
Sander, so then why do I consistently hear that pronunciation in the songs 10 Miljoen Mensen by Fluitsma and van Tijn and Over de Muur by Klein Orkest? I don't even think I ever hear [Ei] (or something similar) in either song, and the pronunciation of "zijn" as homophonous with "sein" really sticks out in Over de Muur.
Okay, I sometimes hear something like [@I] in Over de Muur, such like in the pronunciation of "bereikt", but most cases seem to have [aI] in it (for instance, "vrijheid" in it sounds all but the same as standard Hochdeutsch "freiheit", the only difference being the [v] rather than [f]).
I also hear something like [3I] or [@I] at times in 10 Miljoen Mensen, in alternation with [aI], but I don't actually hear a diphthong involving [E] as a starting point in it.
I really don't know where you get it from, to me "zijn" and "sein" sound very different.

Sander,
was mijn vraag over de tijwoorden niet reactiewaardig voor je of zal je vanmorgen daar komen met en super gedetailleerde aanwoord over? :-)

In your example, the two are clearly different, with "sein" having [aI] and "zijn" having [Ei]. This strongly contrasts with those two songs, where the closest thing to [Ei] for the phoneme marked orthographically by "ij" and "ei" is occasional rising diphthongs with the starting point [{] or possibly [3] (it seems that the starting point in many cases is *slightly* higher than [a] proper), but a starting point of [E] itself never actually shows up. In at least Over de Muur, "zijn" sounds identical to standard Hochdeutsch "sein", unlike your "zijn".

Maybe it's something that happens when Dutch is song ... I never heard it and ... well can't explain it either.

And now for the beautiful Dutch linguistic terms...

Sander,
Is that all?, well your examples express the beauty in its simplicity.
So, OTT, VTT, and Voltooid Toekomend Deelwoord are passive forms.
But why does the text I copied say, that the firs two times don't exist in English? are you using the closest similar way to explain them or do they DO exist in English as the forms you wrote?
And thanks again for the help...

OVTT = something you were/something was going to do (continuous) in the past but of which you speak in the future.
I was going to walk, I'm not sure if English has a name for this tense.
VVTT = something you were/something was going to do (finished) in the past but of which you speak in the future.
I would have went, I'm not sure if English has a name for this tense.
