The original sentence was this:
"Het is de bedoeling dat de F100 en de F50 beter inspelen op de vraag van het publiek en het bedrijf uit het slop trekken."
Source is anderetijden.nlDoes "dat" join the separable verb?
separable verbs are joined in subclauses, and in this case dat (as a relative pronoun) introduces a subclause, so yes.
As for the vowel - the sound in like is the closest English gets to it, but this diphthong starts on a short e sound (the sound of "pet"), not the "a" sound of father.
Because it's a subclause, but 'dat' doesn't join the separable verbs, it sends them to later in the sentence, or then all those words would be the separable verb 'joiners' like omdat etc it's because they are like the German subclause words that send the verb to the later position in the sentence as the infinitive. If 'dat' joined the seperable verb only then it wouldn't be so late in the sentence.
But the original infinitive form of the seperable verb is one word, not separated, so 'dat' doesn't 'join' it, but other ones separate it. It's not a verb + preposition that must or can be be joined.
I don't agree about English 'like' = Dutch 'lijk' at all. I didn't mean the 'A' in father, of course not. I mean the 'A' when you say the letter in the alphabet or in 'age', then mixed with E in 'get'.
But I know that I'm not native in Dutch or English, so maybe I hear the Eng 'like' and Dutch 'lijk' differently than a dutch or English native. For me they sound completely different.
