Applicable to the taste, the weather, an action etc. Lekker means pleasant except for the sarcastic uses, such as “lekker dan” and “lekker belangrijk”.

   How do you use Lekker belangrijk?

   • “Lekker belangrijk” is also only used sarcastically. I’ve never heard anyone say that something is lekker belangrijk, without mentioning something which is completely the opposite. So: never use it when you talk about something which is actually important! What about “lekker dier”!!
