Teekaart

Teekaart is a Dutch-language term that can refer to a small card used to convey a message in association with a gift, event, or brief information. The term is not fixed in standard Dutch dictionaries, and its meaning can vary by region or context.

Etymology and usage notes: Teekaart is a compound word built from kaart (card) with a prefix that does not have a single, universally defined meaning in contemporary usage. As a result, teekaart tends to appear mainly in informal or regional contexts rather than as a clearly defined category in national guidelines. Because of this fluidity, the exact function of a teekaart can differ: it may be a personal message attached to a present, a label accompanying a product, or a short note used in invitations or event communications.

Common contexts: In some local traditions, a teekaart refers to a handwritten or printed card that accompanies a gift and contains a brief message or the giver’s name. In other settings, it may denote a small informational or label card used with a product, service, or invitation. The term is often used loosely, and its interpretation depends on local custom and the source mentioning it.

Regional notes and related terms: Because teekaart is not widely standardized, it is best understood through local usage. Related concepts include greeting cards, gift cards, and various kinds of note or label cards. See also: greeting card, gift card, note card.
