Dutch term

vast ook leuk

Dutch to English Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
This is some kind of young person's idiom I'm not familiar with. The context is not very specific other than that a teenager character says it at every turn:

jij krijgt het vast ook leuk

Thanks in advance!

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): writeaway

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

you'll love it

If the teenage character is saying it a lot and it is meant to be idiomatic then I suggest this. It also covers most contexts; the film, the holiday, the meal, etc.. The first suggestion seems too formal for a teenager and the repetition would make it rather tedious. Of course it could be a pedantic and pompous teenager...
Example sentence:

Oh, you'll love it!
