Latest revision as of 02:05, 30 April 2013 [edit] Afrikaans [edit] Pronunciation gaan (past participle gegaan) - to go
[edit] Derived terms
[edit] Etymology From Middle Dutch gaen, from Old Dutch gān, from Proto-Germanic *gāną, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰēh₁- ("to leave"). Compare West Frisian gean, Low German gan, German gehen, English go, Danish gå. [edit] Pronunciation gaan - (intransitive) To move from one place to another; to go.
- Ik ga naar het strand. — I'm going to the beach.
- Die auto gaat nergens naartoe. — That car isn't going anywhere.
- (intransitive) To leave or depart, to move away.
- Morgen gaan ze weer. — They're leaving again tomorrow.
- (intransitive) To lead (in a direction).
- Deze weg gaat helemaal naar Limburg. — This road goes all the way to Limburg.
- (intransitive) To proceed (well or poorly).
- Dat ging goed. — That went well.
- Hoe gaat het? — How is it going?
- Dat gaat niet. — That won't work.
- (auxiliary) Used to form the future tense of a verb, together with an infinitive.

[edit] Conjugation Conjugation of gaan (strong class 7, irregular) [edit] Usage notes The past tense ging in the sense of "to go" can be used to indicate the present tense as well. In Dutch, one can ask "Ging je nog naar die verjaardag vanavond?" which can mean both "did you go to that birthday party tonight?" and "are you going to that birthday party tonight?". This is similar to moeten. [edit] Expressions over X gaan - to have to do with X, to be about X

[edit] Etymology From the Old English gān ("to go"). An alternative (and arguably more phonetically neutral; see the pronunciations given) spelling of gan or gaun. [edit] Pronunciation - Phonetic transcriptions: IPA: [ɡɑːn], [ɡɒːn]
- Phonemic transcription: IPA: /ɡan/
The latter is the more traditional form. In some compounds it frequently becomes IPA: /ɡən/, e.g. gaan oot IPA: /ɡən ut/, gaan in IPA: /ɡən ɪn/. tae gaan (third-person singular simple present gaans, present participle gaan, simple past went or wett, past participle been) - (South Scots) to go
- (South Scots) Present participle of gaan.
- Where div ee hink ee'r gaan at this time o night? [1]
