This is the 6423rd most frequent Dutch word.
tine
In Dutch, "tine" does not have a standard meaning and is likely not a native word. It might be a typo, name, or borrowed term.
Here, 'tine' refers to one of the pointed ends of a fork, used in the context of its physical structure.
De tine van de vork brak af toen hij viel.
The tine of the fork broke off when it fell.
In this sentence, 'Tine' is used as a proper noun, presumably someone's name.
Tine heeft gisteren een boek over geschiedenis gekocht.
Tine bought a book about history yesterday.
Again, 'tine' indicates the pointed prongs of a tool like a pitchfork, emphasizing its material or craftsmanship.
