Notes
In Dutch, both "de aarde" and "de Aarde" can be considered correct, but their usage depends on the context and the specific style or convention you are following.
-
"de aarde" (with a lowercase "a"): This is the more common way to write it and is used in everyday language and most formal writing. It simply means "the earth" in a general sense.
-
"de Aarde" (with an uppercase "A"): This form is used when referring to Earth as a proper noun or when emphasizing it as a specific celestial body, such as when talking about the planet in a scientific or astronomical context.
So, both forms are correct, but the choice between them depends on whether you want to treat "Earth" as a common noun or a proper noun in your sentence.
Summary
The Dutch translation for “the earth” is de aarde. The Dutch, de aarde, can be broken down into 2 parts:"the" (de) and "earth" (aarde).Practice Lesson
