Conflicteert

Conflicteert is the third person singular present tense form of the Dutch verb conflicteren, which means “to conflict” or “to have a conflict.” The verb is transitive and typically requires a complement that indicates the object or parties involved in the conflict. For example: “De nieuwe beleidsvoorstellen conflicteert met de huidige wetgeving.” The verb originates from the Latin conflictus, the past participle of conflictare, and entered Dutch in the 19th century with the sense of disagreement or clash between ideas or interests.

Usage of conflicteert is common in formal or legal contexts, where precise expression of disagreement between laws, policies, or positions is required. It can also appear in everyday language to describe disagreements between people or groups. Synonyms include “niet samengaan” (not to agree), “botsen” (to clash), and “sporen” (to diverge). The infinitive form is conflicteren, and the past tense is conflicteerde. The participle used in perfect constructions is conflicterend.

In singular and plural forms, the verb agrees with the subject: “Het project conflicteert” versus “De projecten conflicteren.” In the passive, one finds “Het project wordt geconflicteerd” although this construction is somewhat uncommon; passive may be expressed with “conflicteren” omitted. Prefixes such as “in-” or “uit-” are not typically applied to conflicteren. The verb belongs to group 1 of Dutch verbs, with a regular conjugation pattern.
