How invoeren is pronounced
IPA: /ˈɪnˌvu.rə(n)/ · Syllables: in·voe·ren
Pronunciation can vary by region and speaking context. Treat the transcription as a compact reference, then compare it with current native audio and practise the verb inside a phrase rather than as an isolated sound.
What invoeren means
to introduce
to input, enter
to import
The English gloss identifies a sense, not a one-word substitution that works in every sentence. Check the object, preposition, reflexive pronoun or separable element in the Dutch example before transferring the verb to a new situation.
Invoeren conjugation table
| Tense | Subject | Dutch form |
|---|---|---|
| Present | ik | voer in |
| Present | jij (subject first) | voert in |
| Present | hij/zij/het | voert in |
| Present | wij/jullie/zij | voeren in |
| Simple past | singular | voerde in |
| Simple past | plural | voerden in |
| Past participle | — | ingevoerd |
The table shows the standard subject-first jij anchor. Inversion after jij and formal u can require a different surface form. For separable verbs, the cited forms may already show the element in its natural main-clause position. In perfect constructions, choose the auxiliary required by the actual meaning and construction; do not attach hebben or zijn mechanically.

These examples are citation-backed language data. Use them to notice the verb's partners and sentence position. Then change only one detail at a time—subject, time, place or object—so that your next sentence stays grammatical and remains connected to a real communicative purpose.
Turn the reference into speaking practice
- Read the first example once and identify the finite verb, subject and any required particle or preposition.
- Build a new present-tense message with voer in or voert in and add a concrete time or place.
- Move the same event into the past with voerde in; keep the meaning stable while changing the timeline.
- Use ingevoerd in a complete result message after checking the correct auxiliary for that construction.
Record all four messages without restarting. Listen once for meaning and sentence order, then once for the target form. Correct only the first error that changes meaning or blocks the listener, and repeat the sentence with one new detail. This creates retrieval practice rather than table recitation.
Self-check
- The chosen sense matches the situation.
- The finite form agrees with the subject.
- The time marker and verb tense tell the same timeline.
- Any separable element, reflexive pronoun, object or fixed preposition is present.
- The sentence contains enough detail for another person to respond.
