Or maybe "snapshot" in the sense of "momentopname"? My English is much better than my Dutch but I get the nuance of this Dutch word.

registration would be fine too i guess, thank you.

Erratum *Portrayal* or registration of the social *atmosphere* in the Netherlands?

Jack den Haan Mar 5, 2011:

My two cents worth 'Portrayal' would be fine IMHO. Or even 'registration' perhaps. Portayal or registration of the social atmoshere in the Netherlands?

burak sengir (asker) Mar 5, 2011:

believe me I don't :) but I will go for 'depiction' or 'portrayal', that seems to be the best solution so far...thank you.

you know more than we do :-)
I do think, however, it can be understood in more than one sense
we also have this word 'momentopname', which is not to do with recording or shooting a film or taking pictures
could it refer to a 'description', 'depiction' 'portrayal' or something similar, as it concerns a brochure?

burak sengir (asker) Mar 5, 2011:

this is a brochure; and that's all I have got, i was wondering too whether it should be understood in the sense of an 'impression' but to tell the truth I haven't got the faintest idea, so I was hoping someone would enlighten me :(

opname I wonder whether 'opname' should be taken literally, is it about a recording/shooting a film?, or should it be understood in the sense of an 'impression' or something similar
