- Dutch
Verzinnen - making something up
Bedenken - a conjugation of to think
They are similar if you say:
Think of something.
(Bedenk iets)
Make something up.
(Verzin wat)
They both have the same message, just a different wording.
So while āverzinnenā only means to make something up; ābedenkenā or ādenkenā means to think.
