Heel veel plezier daar in het Haagse. Ik zou in het Kunstmuseum gewoon iemand aanspreken die ook kijkt naar het kunstwerk waar jullie naar kijken. En dan ontstaat er een gesprek. Dat weet ik zeker.

It's one verb. In Dutch, composite verbs are spelled as one word, similar to German. "Achteruitkijken" = to look backward. If the first part is the verb, something like in English "Can you finish reading now?", in Dutch, the second verb is treated as a noun, as Dutch does not have a gerund.

Interestingly, 'literally' is literally rarely used literally. One can say: "I was literally gobsmacked".

Similar to Dutch en Afrikaans: "uit-lezen" is a verb, literally: 'out-read' = read till the story is 'out', meaning: finished.

It took my daughter years to understand her dyslexia. One day she said: actually, the p,d,q,b are the same letter, just rotated. Also n and u are the same. In her brain these letters just rotate, which made spelling a battle. Now she 'rotates' 2D drawings of costumes in 3D products.

I imagine that the English pronunciation of 'beau' is influenced by the Latin origin 'beatus', which separates the e from the a in the pronunciation, which has been lost in the French pronunciation.
