Dutch term
we hebben vaak aan een half woord genoeg.
Dutch to English
Other
General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Two colleagues (company X and supplier) have worked with each other for years on various projects.
We kennen elkaar inmiddels van haver tot gort en hebben vaak aan een half woord genoeg.
The right phrase is escaping me... 'we can almost finish each other's sentences' sounds a bit - well - intimate!

Dank je. Zelf vind ik ook dat die beter zijn dan het winnende voorstel. Wie weet wat er gebeurt als je steun wat eerder komt.
