de goede oude tijd

Dutch

Noun

de goede oude tijd m (plural de goede oude tijden, diminutive een goed oud tijdje n)

  1. (idiomatic) the days of yore

Usage notes

Following the preposition in, it is often inflected to the dative case, as it would have been done in an older stage of Dutch, potentially to strengthen the feeling of nostalgia to days past: in den goeden ouden tijd.
