This is the 14th most frequent Dutch word.
ik
"I" (first-person singular pronoun).
In this sentence, 'ik' is the first person singular pronoun used as the subject performing the action of the verb 'ga' (go).
Ik ga naar de winkel.
I am going to the store.
Here, 'ik' appears twice, first as the subject of the subordinate clause 'ik honger heb' (I am hungry), and second as the subject of the main clause 'ik eet' (I eat).
Wanneer ik honger heb, eet ik een appel.
When I am hungry, I eat an apple.
In this example, 'ik' is present twice: first as the subject of the sentiment 'ik ben blij' (I am glad), and later as the subject in the relative clause 'ik je hier zie' (I see you here).
