jess

The Dutch word "jess" does not have a widely recognized meaning; it may be mistaken for the English term "jess," referring to the leather straps on a bird of prey.

Here, 'jess' refers to a strap or leash used in falconry to tether a bird.

De jess op de valk was losgeraakt.

The jess on the falcon had come loose.

In this context, 'Jess' is used as an exclamation to express happiness or excitement, similar to 'Yay!' or 'Yes!' in English.

Met een vrolijke kreet zei ze: 'Jess!'

With a joyful shout, she said: 'Jess!'

Here, 'Jess' is used as an interjection to convey agreement or satisfaction, akin to 'Yes' in English.

'Jess, dat is precies wat we nodig hadden,' zei hij opgelucht.

'Jess, that's exactly what we needed,' he said relieved.
