I'm studying the Dutch language. I've heard 'werk ze' and I can somewhat understand the post but not enough to get what it actually means. What is 'werk ze' supposed to actually mean and where is it used?

It's used as an informal way to tell someone that you wish them "luck"/"succes" during work. The English equivalent would be: "Have fun/good luck at work". It's something like that, I'm finding it quite difficult to literally translate it because it's more of a cultural meaning than any official definition.

Oh that's good to know, thanks. Then the original post makes sense. Thanks :)

You can also replace 'werk' with any other verb of your choice
