Knowing body part vocabulary in Dutch is essential for medical situations, fitness conversations, and everyday descriptions. The word for head is het hoofd, face is het gezicht, and eye is het oog (plural: ogen). Ear is het oor, nose is de neus, and mouth is de mond.
Moving down, the neck is de nek or de hals, shoulder is de schouder, and arm is de arm. The hand is de hand, finger is de vinger, and thumb is de duim. For the torso, chest is de borst, stomach is de maag, and back is de rug.
Lower body vocabulary: hip is de heup, leg is het been or de poot (informal), knee is de knie, foot is de voet, and toe is de teen. Practice these by pointing to each body part and saying the Dutch word aloud — it is one of the fastest ways to build physical vocabulary.
