More about this list
Het nieuws is “the news” — the eight o’clock programme (het achtuurjournaal) as much as “news” among friends. A newspaper article is het artikel and the headline is de kop, an informal word for “head”. Watching television is tv kijken, listening to the radio naar de radio luisteren. The public broadcasters are called NPO in the Netherlands and VRT in Flanders.
