How do you say no in Flemish?

There are a few ways to say "no" in Flemish, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* Neen: This is the most common and formal way to say "no".

* Nee: This is a less formal version of "neen".

Informal:

* Nee: This is the most common informal way to say "no".

* Njet: This is a more colloquial and playful way to say "no", often used with friends or family.

Other variations:

* Gelijk: This literally translates to "same" but can be used to express "no" in a more emphatic way.

* Natuurlijk niet: This translates to "naturally not" and is a more emphatic way to say "no" in a formal context.

Example:

* "Wil je een koekje?" (Do you want a cookie?)

* "Nee, bedankt." (No, thank you.)

It's important to note that Flemish is a dialect of Dutch, so the same phrases can be used in both languages. However, the intonation and pronunciation may differ slightly.
