@Ruyan Ik heb je een vriendschapsverzoek gestuurd.
@Peachey Like Anna said, sometimes there's an e after willekeurig. Whenever 'the' translates as 'de' you add the e:
the bird = de vogel ; a random bird = een willekeurige vogel
the house = het huis ; a random house = een willekeurig huis

@Peachey: the word willekeurig is both and adverb and an adjective ;-) But when you use it as an adjective, an -e at the end is sometimes needed. For example: "een willekeurig antwoord" (a random answer) but ""een willkeurige vraag" (a random question).

Nice! :) Just a question: for example, can willekeurig be used to describe both a thing and an action? I mean, without changing it in any way? I ask this because adverbs and adjectives in the other languages I know are clearly different. How does it work in Dutch?

Ja, met plezier.
Misschien kunnen jullie me ook helpen? Ik wil graag Engels leren.
