Weet ik veel!

Da’s ook toevallig!
If you walk into somebody in a place where you didn’t expect him, you say:
Hé, dat is toevallig!
What a coincidence!It also can be used ironically, when it isn’t really a surprise or if there is something fishy about it ….
Dat is wel heel toevallig
Well, well, what a coincidence…
We also use this word for ‘incidentally’ :
Weet iemand toevallig waar Jan is gebleven?
Does anybody incidentally know where Jan has gone?

Echt wel! Zeker weten!
Say this if you totally agree:
Nou en of!
You bet!
Dat kun je wel zeggen, ja.
You might say that
Zeg dat wel!
Indeed it is
Je haalt me de woorden uit de mond.
That was just what I was going to say
Zeker weten!
You can be sure of that.
Echt wel!
Absolutely.
