Pronunciation
/vərˈliːft/
Cultural Note
The phrase 'verliefd zijn op' (to be in love with) is one of the first romantic expressions Dutch learners encounter. Note the preposition 'op' is used, unlike English 'with'. Dutch distinguishes between 'verliefd' (being in love, often early-stage) and 'houden van' (deeper, lasting love).
📝 Example Sentences
Ik ben verliefd op jou.

Ze werd verliefd op eerste gezicht.
