Janeeuitvoer

Janeeuitvoer is a Dutch term used in information technology to describe the binary output of a process indicating a positive or negative decision. The word is a portmanteau of ja (yes) and nee (no) with uitvoer (output). It is typically used informally in technical discussions, logs, and documentation to characterize results that can be expressed as yes or no.

Etymology and usage: The term is primarily colloquial and not part of formal Dutch dictionaries. It appears in the Netherlands and Flanders and is common in software development, testing, and user interface contexts to refer to an outcome that is either affirmative or negative. In many cases it maps to boolean values such as true/false or 1/0.

In practice: Janeeuitvoer may describe the final return value of a script, the outcome of a permission check, or the response from a yes/no prompt. It is often used when discussing decision logic, test logs, and feature toggles, offering a compact way to refer to a binary result without repeating ja or nee.

Examples: A log entry might record janeeuitvoer: ja when a condition passes, or janeeuitvoer: nee when it fails. In a user prompt, the system may capture the user's response as ja or nee, which the application translates into boolean processing.
