so where's the difference?

what's that in dutch? "Waar is de verschill"? Or do you say that in a different way than in english?

 

[Lady_Wolf]

so where's the difference?

kennen = to know
kunnen = to be able to

examples

Caro en Marion kennen Kris
Caro en Marion kunnen Engels

and kunnen is a changing verb (dunno if there is a name for it)

its
ik kAN
jij/hij/het kAN
wij kunnen

you could say

"waar zit het verschil (in)?" the word "in" is not necessary, but you do hear it

but

"wat is het verschil?" is more common


Notice btw:
Het verschil

 

[Sipyloidea]

kennen = to know
kunnen = to be able to

examples

Caro en Marion kennen Kris
Caro en Marion kunnen Engels

and for kunnen is a changing verb (dunno what if there is a name for it)

its
ik kAN
jij/hij/het kAN
wij kunnen

ah, ok. I was meaning to use kennen though, because in english you say to know a language. But if it's wrong in dutch, I'm gonna memorise that of course.

you mean irregular? Ik wil dit onthouden

sooo in the first example, 'kunnen' is just a conjugation of 'kennen', and in the second one it's the verb 'kunnen'?
