For example, English speakers commonly mix up your/you’re or there/their/they’re. I’m curious about similar mistakes in other languages.

    The second person during a question is still no special rule for dt. It’s still very regular. For all regular verbs it’s just stem (without the +t).

    Examples:

    Praten -> stem = praat -> praat jij? Worden -> stem = word -> word jij? Surfen -> stem = surf -> surf jij?

    No irregularity for stems ending in d.

      It’s an easy rule, yes. It’s also an easy one to overlook if you’re not paying attention.

      “Word je blij?”, but also “wordt je moeder blij?”.

      It’s not like people don’t understand the rule. No native Dutch speaker would say “Loopt jij?”
