    The dutch word for saerch is 'zeok'.
    The word for search is 'zoek'.

    to search => zoeken
    i search - ik zoek .. - jij zoekt .. - hij, zij, het zoekt .. - wij zoeken .. - jullie zoeken .. - zij zoeken

    the 'oe' is pronounced like the oo in foo)
    ik -> (h)ick

    that's all for now.
