This is the 127th most frequent Dutch word.


echter

However.


Here, 'echter' acts as a conjunction connecting two independent clauses, emphasizing the contrast between her desire and her physical state.

Ze wilde naar het feest gaan; ze was echter te moe.

She wanted to go to the party; however, she was too tired.


In this case, 'echter' is again an adverb, placed within the sentence to denote a 'however' meaning, contrasting the simplicity with the need for thorough planning.

Het is een eenvoudig project, echter moet het grondig gepland worden.

It is a simple project; however, it must be thoroughly planned.


In this sentence, 'echter' is used as an adverb to introduce a contrasting statement, serving to provide a counter or exception to the preceding information.

Hij is echter niet gekomen.

However, he did not come.
