doorverbindt

Doorverbindt is a Dutch verb form meaning to connect someone through or to transfer a person to another person or service. The term is derived from door- (through, via) and verbinden (to connect). It is commonly used in professional contexts to describe the act of arranging a direct connection between two parties, often during a phone call or a service handoff.

In practice, doorverbindt is used when an operator, nurse, agent, or receptionist enables a call or interaction to proceed by connecting the client with the appropriate endpoint, such as a doctor, specialist, or service desk. The phrase is frequently encountered in customer service, healthcare, and social work.

Doorverbindt differs from doorverwijzen, which emphasizes sending or directing a person to another resource, potentially without immediate direct contact. The noun forms doorverbinding (the connection or transfer) and doorverwijzing (the act of referring) reflect related but distinct concepts in Dutch, with doorverbindt focusing on actual connection.

Past participle form is doorverbonden; present tense third-person singular is doorverbindt. While sometimes used in brand or program names, the generic term describes a procedural action rather than a specific service.
