standaardmatig

Standaardmatig is a Dutch adjective that translates to “standard” or “typical” in English. The term is formed from the root word standaard, meaning “standard” or “flag,” combined with the suffix –matig, which turns nouns into adjectives indicating a manner or quality. Thus, standaardmatig literally conveys the sense of being “in the manner of a standard.”

The word is commonly used in everyday Dutch to describe something that conforms to an established norm or expectation without exceptional features. For example, a standaardmatig architectuur is one that follows conventional design principles rather than innovative or experimental ones. It can also refer to usual or ordinary results, as in “De resultaten waren standaardmatig, zonder afwijkende waarden.”

In formal writing, standaardmatig may convey a neutral assessment of conformity. It is often contrasted with words such as afwijkend (deviatory), ongebruikelijk (unusual), or innovatief (innovative). In technical or educational contexts, it may denote adherence to prescribed standards, as in “Een standaardmatig certificeringprocedure” for a standardized certification procedure.

Standaardmatig is frequently encountered in Dutch academic and professional literature, especially where evaluation, quality control, or normative compliance are discussed. Its usage extends to related Dutch dialects and to Afrikaans, where “standaardmatig” can be understood with the same meaning.
