doorgebladerd

Doorgebladerd is a Dutch term that translates to "browsed through" or "leafed through" in English. It describes the action of quickly looking through the pages of a book, magazine, or other document without reading it in detail. This can be done for various reasons, such as to get a general idea of the content, to find specific information, or simply out of curiosity. The term implies a casual and superficial examination rather than a thorough reading.

When someone "doorgebladerd" a publication, they are typically not engaging in deep comprehension. Instead, they might scan headings, look at pictures, or read a few sentences here and there to gauge the subject matter or the writing style. It's a common behavior when one is undecided about investing more time in a text or when searching for something specific within a larger body of work. The term is often used in informal contexts to describe a quick perusal of reading material.
