Please tell me how to say in Dutch. "May I speak to Mr ... please?"?


I need to speak to someone whose telephone will probably be answered by a Dutch person who might not be able to speak English.

Is het mogelijk om met mijnheer X te spreken?
(inquisitive,you are asking wether it is possible at all)
Kan ik mijnheer X te spreken krijgen?
(plain)
Kan ik X spreken alstublieft?
(simple)
Zou ik alstublieft mijnheer X te spreken kunnen krijgen.
(very polite)

The answer you will get is likely to be:

Hij is er niet. (He is not there.)

You ask: Kan hij mij terugbellen?(Can he call me back.?)
Wanneer komt hij terug?(When does he come back?)


Ja=Yes
Nee=No

Dank U wel. = Thank you.

Mijnheer=Sir
Mevrouw=Mrs.

Dutch people are all taught English at school. otherwise try in German, I try to write it how it sounds. canst ich sprecken mit Herr ....

kan Ik met Mr.....praat

" mag ek met maner..... spraken asheblieft!
its very much like afrikaans i did not spell it right so that you can say like i have spelt it and still get it right! you can also give a dirrect afrikaans translation! " mag ek met maner..... praat asseblief"
hope this helps u!

Kan ik met meneer .......Praat (and you could add 'please' - 'Austublieft')

pronounced (closest english equivalent) 'can ick met men-ear.......prah-t (ows-too-bleeft)

Mag ik aan M. ......... alstublieft spreken

kan ik aan mijnheer spreken

michael is the only one with the right answer... however, almost everyone in the netherlands speaks english, don't worry...
kan ik mijnheer ...... spreken?
mijnheer you pronounce mynheer...
