voertje

Voertje is a Dutch colloquial term that literally translates to "little vehicle." It is most commonly used to refer to a small, often toy, vehicle, such as a toy car, truck, or airplane. The diminutive suffix "-tje" indicates a small size or affection.

Beyond literal interpretations, "voertje" can also be used more broadly to describe any small, moving object or device, particularly if it's somewhat rudimentary or playful in nature. For example, a child's homemade contraption or a simple wheeled toy might be referred to as a "voertje." In some informal contexts, it might even be used humorously to describe a small, functional but unglamorous mode of transport. The meaning is largely dependent on the context in which it is used, but the core idea remains that of a small, mobile entity.
