Do you capitalize nouns in Dutch?

Yes, Dutch does capitalize nouns.

Here are some important things to remember:

* All nouns are capitalized in Dutch, regardless of their position in the sentence. This includes common nouns, proper nouns, and even abstract nouns.

* There are some exceptions:

* Pronouns are not capitalized (e.g., ik, jij, hij, zij).

* Adjectives are not capitalized (e.g., mooi, groot, klein).

* Verbs are not capitalized (e.g., lopen, eten, slapen).

Examples:

* De kat (The cat)

* Een huis (A house)

* Amsterdam

* Vrijheid (Freedom)

Note: There are some specific rules for capitalizing compound nouns, but generally, the main noun in a compound noun is capitalized.
