1. to continue (with), to go on, to keep going
[verb]
[door-gaan,
ging door,
door-ge-gaan]

"Doorgaan" is composed of the verb "gaan" ("to go") and "door" which means "through" (in the context of movement). Because of the base verb "gaan", it implies continuation of movement by default, but is also used in case of continuation of an activity. Often, "doorgaan" has the connotation of not "giving up / quitting".

Examples:
- "Het was echt ongelofelijk, na 10 ronden ging hij gewoon op hetzelfde tempo door!"
("It was really unbelievable, after 10 rounds he just kept going at the same pace!")
   

- "Vandaag is de 600ste DWOTD! Moeten Sander, Marc en Laura nog doorgaan, of is het genoeg geweest?"
("Today is the 600th DWOTD! Should Sander, Marc and Laura continue, or is enough enough?" Lit. "… or has it been enough?")
   

- "Na een korte stop in Leiden gaat deze trein door naar Den Haag en Rotterdam en heeft als eindbestemming Dordrecht."
("After a short stop in Leiden, this train will call at Den Haag and Rotterdam, and terminates at Dordrecht." Lit. "this train goes on to Den Haag and Rotterdam and has as final destination Dordrecht.")

- "Hij blijft maar doorgaan over zijn pasgeboren kind; ik word er gek
van!"
("He keeps going on about his newborn child; it’s
driving me crazy!")

- "Ga zo door!"
("Keep it up! / That’s the spirit! / Good job!" Lit. "Go on like that!")
