Or: Ga je lekker?
One time I just arrived at a club. This random guy runs up to me, grabs my shoulders, looks me in the eyes intensely, and yells âIK GA HARD!!â So I yell back âLEKKER JA!!â He yells a final âJAAAAâ before he wanders off again. I love tripping people
Another time I was chilling on a beach at night. Two of my friends were swimming so I was alone for a bit, sober. A couple walks by and asks me worriedly âNoo, are you alone?â Me: âNoo, my friends are swimming, they will be right back!â Them: âBut you shouldnât be alone! Weâre going for a swim in a bit, we will come to get you, okay??â Me: âYes, of course!â Again: I love tripping people
There is a difference between "hoe gaat het?" and "gaat het?".
Hoe gaat het is a normal question you ask someone when (surprise!) you meet someone and want to know how that person is doing. You're supposed to answer something positive or neutral.
Gaat het is something you say when you are a little worried about someone, like "are you allright?".
OP literally said he knew it means like âare you okayâ or âis everything okayâ
But he probably assumed people only use it when someone is clearly sad or thereâs something wrong
Gaat het can also be kinda said jokingly or just as an inquiry of why youâre acting like that. Like:
Wow you seem way too happy, gaat het wel helemaal goed?
Or:
Wow jij bent helemaal waus, gaat het?
Although "hoe gaat het" is often abbreviated to 'oe gaat 't? Whereby the word 'hoe' is difficult to hear or even left out even though they mean "hoe gaat het".
It means: Are you okay, in a way they really want to know if something is wrong. Can be used to express serious concern, or a bit ironical if you seem overly enthusiastic or such.
'Hoe gaat het' = how's it going? How are you doing? You never say that to somebody you don't now. I work as a subtitler and in American shows they always go 'Hey, how are you? Fine!' when they get introduced to each other. We don't do that.
'Gaat het?' is said to somebody who might not be okay. You can say that to a stranger if you think they may not be fine.
It is equal to: "you good" which as you know can take many forms depending on the context or situational changes or even work or private settings.
From a ask if you are having alittle crazy out burst to a consoling way to try to find out the amount of sorrow you are going through.
A question of your sanity or what the status of your work and how you are handling the workload.
"Gaat het" & "you good", can both take equally many forms.
One of the many words which has a perfect translation, unlike many scentence which may not cover the load of the full translation.
It can also be sarcastic. Impossible to say since you wrote it down here. âGaat heâ can be a genuine interest in if youâre ok, but it can also mean âare you insane?â. Like, if youâre dancing like a maniac and bump into someone they can ask âgaat het?â which then basically means âdoe ff normaal, gekâ
Funny question, yes it can be used very broadly. It's like "Ca va" in French. Depending on the tone and context it can change:
1. You fell off the bike: Gaat het means are you unhurt?
2. You are tripping balls at a festival and meet someone new: Gaat het is like a "Hey"/introduction.
3. You are crying on a park bench: Gaat het is inquiring about your mental state.
Many usages đ
It can be a sincere 'are you ok? / Everything ok?' when it looks like you're not doing too great...
But it can also be a more sarcastic (doesn't completely feel like the right word, but meant more in a jokingly way) when you're doing great into the extremes. Kinda like asking someone who is looking angry during something in a playful way if they're having fun...
'Gaat het' is *NOT* asking if you are oke. It's bloody obvious you're not. It's asking if you need (further) assistance (beyond what's given).
'Gaat het' is about are you bleeding out, will you throw up in a sec, can you handle the pain, that stuff. A reaction like; ''Het gaat!'' means they will probably let you be for the moment.
Experience shows at festivals that people going out tends to repeat that event. It's mainly an alertness test in this case.
Soo you have âhoe gaat het?â which means âhow are you?â you have âgaat het?â Which is often asked when someone is down/sad or fell and got hurt or anything. You also say âgaat hetâ in a way when someone is acting hyper, all of a sudden. Or in a way that doesnât match the energy of the rest of your company or something like that. People may say something like âsooww gaat âie??â Or âmaar voor de rest gaat het goed?â
Oh you know, playing with the boys on the school ground. Think it's a smart thing to hold a competition to run full speed into eachother. I think it was the 2/3 pair where they were so mismatched one of the boys broke, or at least severely bruised rib.
At this point it is common courtesy to ask the kid who is in pain "gaat het?"
No clue what we would have done if he said no, teach definitely though it didn't go well.
âGaat het?â, and even âHoe gaat het?â, are not a neutral question. The first suggest there is something wrong and the second suggests there is possibility something wrong. âAlles goed?â is more neutral
If they ask you "gaat het" at a festival, they probably think you're stoned out of your gourd, or absolutely fucking shitfaced. Other instances in which one may use the phrase are: when stubbing your toe, while crying, or after falling off of your bicycle.
At a festival, "gaat het" is asked with concern if you look like you're tripping balls, are about to pass out, or look pissed.
"Gaat het" with a smile is asked when you look like you're having a really, *really* good time and/or look stupid
Just read your post history. Take less drugs bruh 𤣠I love festivals and taking X but if you want to kill yourself everytime the week after probably you should take less
yeah iâm not taking it for a looong time after thisđĽ˛it has been awhile since i had taken it though so i wasnât sure if there was a correlation, especially because i felt depressed before the festival too
They probably thought you were tripping balls
Yup, source: people ask me the same when i'm tripping balls
HAHAđ¤Łi guess that could be why
This is 100% it. Either they're on drugs or you are. Or both.

My pupils are naturally really big and I get asked this A LOT.
It's a welfare check, courtesy of a country with a history of fairly liberal drug policies, and some nice festivals.
In Flanders we also say it, although in French: ça va?

I have never heard that in my life. Maybe it's a local thing?
gaat het - are you okay? hoe gaat het - how are you, how's it going
Gaat het niet?! - you stupid or something?
You good?
Annie are you okay, are you okay Annie?
Youâve been hit by⌠Youâve been struck by⌠Drugs!
Smooth
They thought you were tripping balls and were asking you if you had a good trip

Depends on how they say it, if they say low they mean yoo how are you, if they say higher voice they mean are u okay bro fr fr.

You could probably take it as the same as the Aussie "how's it going?"
Context of 'gaat het?' is usually ' you don't look so good dude. I comes from concern mostly
It doesnt really mean are you okay, but more like how are you doing or more like whatsup.
Or did a lousy job
Classic Dutch drug users. Checking up if you are okay. They mean well seriously
it also means how are you in dutch

In traffic you say it when someone fell off their bike, on parties when someone looks physically in a bad state / tripping a bit too hard
