Dutch
The Dutch future perfect tense is very similar to the German future perfect tense. It is formed by using the verb zullen ("shall"), then placing the past participle and hebben ("to have") or zijn ("to be") after it. Example:
-
- Ik zal iets geschreven hebben.
- "I shall something written have."
- "I will have written something."

Famous quotes containing the word dutch:
“‘Tis probable Religion after this
Came next in order; which they could not miss.
How could the Dutch but be converted, when
The Apostles were so many fishermen?
Besides the waters of themselves did rise,
And, as their land, so them did re-baptize.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
“The French courage proceeds from vanity—the German from phlegm—the Turkish from fanaticism & opium—the Spanish from pride—the English from coolness—the Dutch from obstinacy—the Russian from insensibility—but the Italian from anger.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Too nice is neighbor’s fool.”
—Common Dutch saying, trans by Johanna C. Prins.
