    Beste Hannelore,<div><br></div><div>Just for your interest, "nen droes" 
(Dutch spelling), also exists around here. It's used for big, strong, 
but slow and somewhat dumb guys. They are considered "sleepy" but in a 
figurative sense.</div><div><br></div><div>When a person is half awake, half asleep, the verb we use is: "zuilen" (zoëln) (= schlummern, to slumber).</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.wnt.inl.nl/iWDB/search?actie=article&wdb=WNT&id=M089981&article=suylen" target="_blank">ZUILEN - WNT (Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal)</a></div>
