    If it's the Dutch word you're looking for, then it's "schadevergoeding".

    Compensation is the correct term.
    “The majestic equality of the laws prohibits the rich and the poor alike from sleeping under bridges, begging in the streets and stealing bread.” - Anatole France

    "The law is like a spider’s web. The small are caught, and the great tear it up.” - Anacharsis

    In Belgium, the Kingdom of simplicity, the money payed as compensation for the damages covered by the Dutch (Netherlands) "smartengeld" is also called "schadevergoeding", or "morele schadevergoeding".

    "Compensation" seems correct as well, but I thought that the legal term was "damages".

    compensation is what you ask, settlement is what you get.

    Ja, bij ons ook, maar ik ben op zoek naar een specifiek woord waarvan ik dacht dat het bestond... blijkbaar niet.


    Misschien alleen in mn eigen wereldje.
