There will always be moments in life when you are not quite sure what "the other" thinks, feels or might do.
Long story short, Rutger's newest book title translates to something along the lines of "Most people are cool". My answer could then be: "Ja, ze deugt", which is just basically three words to say that I give the new neighbor a thumbs up. Someone could ask me if I've met my new neighbor. The noun "deugd" means "virtue", and the verb means something along the lines of "to be virtuous", but it's used in a much more casual way than the English version makes it sound. The title is kind of difficult to translate as there isn't really an English equivalent for the word "deugen".
