rien

This is the 6057th most frequent Dutch word.


rien

"Rien" is not a standard Dutch word; it may be a name or misspelling.


In this sentence, 'Rien' is used as a proper noun referring to a person's name.

Rien houdt van fietsen in de vroege ochtend.

Rien loves cycling in the early morning.


Here, 'rie' is a variant of 'ried', which is an old-fashioned term for motivation or eagerness. This usage is uncommon in modern Dutch.

Zonder enige rie is het moeilijk motivatie te vinden.

Without any enthusiasm, it is hard to find motivation.


In this sentence, 'rie' denotes a tiny trace of something, akin to 'ounce' in English, used in sentences to emphasize absence, though it's a rare expression.

There is truly nothing, not a trace of a clue.
