VOHR-pret[ˈvoːrprɛt]
Pronunciation: Marcel coenders · CC BY-SA 3.0 · Wikimedia Commonsthe pleasure you take in something before it happens — anticipation
Closest in English: anticipation, expectancy, buildup. None of them covers it.
Voor is before and pret is fun, and Dutch insists the fun before the fun counts in its own right. Studying the map weeks early is voorpret; so is setting the table long before the guests ring. English files the whole warm-up under anticipation.
