A bit like that yes. It covers adjectives like 'normal', 'usual',
'habitual', 'customary', 'ordinary', 'general', 'common', 'simple',
'just', and most related adverbs too.

It is something my 3 year old answered when she got fed up with me
asking her several times in a row what she meant with 'Gewoon.' (I knew
that she meant "Just because." and she knew that I knew).
