Usage notes

The word pluspunt and its antonym minpunt have almost the same meaning as voordeel and nadeel, but are not used in exactly the same situations. They only apply when talking about a characteristic or aspect of something. In the sentence "Ik ondervind daar voordeel van" one cannot replace voordeel by pluspunt.
