gemaks

Gemaks is a Dutch noun that refers to conveniences or comforts—facilities or features that make daily life easier or more comfortable. The term is linked to the word gemak, meaning ease or convenience, and is related to gemakkelijk, meaning easy. In standard Dutch, the plural form for multiple conveniences is typically gemakken; gemaks is much less common and is more often encountered in regional usage, marketing language, or as a stylistic branding choice rather than as a formal plural in everyday writing.

In practice, gemakken can describe the amenities and services a building, hotel, or product offers to enhance user comfort. Examples include parking, Wi-Fi, laundry facilities, or accessible design features that contribute to convenience. The concept is widely used in planning documents, real estate descriptions, and consumer materials to communicate a sense of comfort and practicality.

Usage notes: the fixed phrase voor uw gemak is a common collocation that emphasizes convenience seen from the user’s perspective, and does not rely on the plural gemakken or gemaks. When describing multiple conveniences in neutral prose, gemakken is the standard choice, while gemaks may appear in headings, branding, or regional varieties.
