Afgehaald

Afgehaald is a Dutch word that can be translated in several ways depending on the context. The most common meaning refers to something being "picked up," such as an item from a store or a person from a location. For example, one might say "Ik heb de boodschappen afgehaald," meaning "I have picked up the groceries." It can also imply the retrieval or collection of something that was previously left or stored.

Another significant meaning of "afgehaald" relates to the act of "taking down" or "removing" something. This could apply to decorations after a holiday, like "De kerstboom is afgehaald," meaning "The Christmas tree has been taken down." In a figurative sense, it can also mean to have something "canceled" or "called off," as in an event or an appointment. The term can also describe the removal of a layer, such as paint or wallpaper.

Furthermore, "afgehaald" can be used to describe something that has been "deducted" or "subtracted," particularly in financial contexts. For instance, "De kosten zijn afgehaald van het totaal," meaning "The costs have been deducted from the total." The specific nuance of "afgehaald" is therefore heavily reliant on the surrounding words and the situation in which it is used.
