"Buddy, what's the difference between 'maken' and 'doen'? I always find that hard."

Tip from Buddy:

Good question! Maken means to create something: I'm making a cup of coffee. Doen means to carry out an activity: I'm doing the shopping.

💡 Memory trick: Maken = result (a product).
Doen = activity (an action).

Remember: "We're going to do something" and "I'm making a cake". Well done! 🎉
