meldt

Meldt is a present-tense conjugation of the Dutch verb melden, which means to report, announce, or notify. As a form, meldt appears in sentences where the subject is hij, zij, het, or the informal you (jij) when the subject is explicitly stated. It also occurs in the polite or plural form with u. In standard Dutch, the infinitive is melden, the past tense is meldde, and the past participle is gemeld.

In practical usage, melden is employed in administrative, bureaucratic, and emergency contexts. Examples include reporting a fault, notifying authorities, or registering for a service. Common constructions feature meldt in sentences such as “Hij meldt zich ziek” (He calls in sick), “Jij meldt een probleem bij de klantenservice” (You report a problem to customer service), and “U meldt zich aan voor de cursus” (You register for the course).

Grammatical notes: meldt is one of the present-tense forms of melden. The other present-tense forms are ik meld, jij meldt, wij melden, jullie melden, zij melden. The form meldt naturally pairs with third-person singular subjects, and with jij and u in explicit or formal contexts. The related forms—meldde (past) and gemeld (past participle)—are used to form tenses such as the simple past and the present perfect.
