sorry, really very very sorry
Gerard de Noord May 23, 2004:
That's a disadvantage of closing a question so soon. I would use "wat" after "alles", "dat", "enige" and "iets" when it refers to something undefined. But the difference is subtle.

not dat? ( dat comes from evert's answer!)
Gerard de Noord May 23, 2004:
maar alles wat sterft komt ooit terug
