Koopt je moeder je kleren voor je? Explanation: The translation is 100 % correct, but I don't think any Dutch person would use it (unless the person is 4 years old and their Mum actually puts on their clothes) More common is : "Koopt je moeder je kleren voor je? (= Does your Mum buy you your clothes) or "Zoekt je moeder je kleren voor je uit" (does your mum pick out your clothes) |
