Hi all,

I am dutch.
My name is "Klaas de Vries". My friend's name is "Jack van der Molen".

Ofcourse, my firstname is "Klaas" and my lastname is "de Vries".

How do you call the little insertion 'de' in my name?
Or 'van der' in my friends name?

Is insertion the correct word?

Sorry, still learning...

Klaas
