It also has a little specialty: It sounds different than any other vowel combination. Normally, we just glide letters together, and we have the right sound. But here, that is a bit different. Oe is a combination of <em>o\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>e<\/em>. Glide that, and it sounds more like a long\u00a0<em>oo<\/em>. But it is shorter! Compare it to the German\u00a0<em>Ufer\u00a0<\/em>&#8211; in Dutch\u00a0<em>oever\u00a0<\/em>(which means riverside). The German\u00a0<em>u\u00a0<\/em>sounds pretty much the same as the Dutch\u00a0<em>oe<\/em>! Comparing it to the English\u00a0<em>oo<\/em>, like\u00a0&#8220;cool&#8221; and the Dutch equivalent <em>stoer<\/em>, you can hear how they are similar. The English\u00a0<em>oo\u00a0<\/em>is just a bit longer!\u00a0Let&#8217;s go to the next one, which is not as common.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>oei<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div style=\"width: 1260px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/search\/photos\/buoy?photo=9c0LtRrsl1c\" aria-label=\"Download\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\"  width=\"1250\" height=\"760\" \/ alt=\"Download\" src=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/9c0LtRrsl1c\/download?force=true\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Boeien<\/em> (buoys)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This one is composed of <em>oe<\/em> and <em>i<\/em>. Glide: <em>oei<\/em>! Examples where you will find it are <em>groei<\/em> (growth), <em>boei<\/em> (buoy). Interestingly, <em>boei<\/em> is very similar to the English word! There are also verbs that have a <em>stam\u00a0<\/em>(root) that ends with\u00a0<em>oei<\/em>, for example\u00a0<em>roeien\u00a0<\/em>(to row) &#8211;\u00a0<em>roe<\/em><em>i\u00a0<\/em>is the\u00a0<em>stam<\/em>.
