Cyclist of the year


Brutal

Recommended Posts

Yes it is the same girl of the 94.7. She only spoke Afrikaans winning the award last year two. How did she get by in <?:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Europe......? Sorry there are times that to "praat die taal" and there are times that you at least try and speak English. Even the European riders try no matter how bad they do.

 

Crap. I take it then that when an english speaking person is interviewed in Afrikaans you would also take exception to that person responding in english? What about an italian or dutch or french person being inteviewed in afrikaans? How many of you souties would be happy to be interviewed in afrikaans? Fact is, she is the champ, and she can speak in any language she chooses. Find something else to moan about.

Marissa I have the greatest respect for you speaking in Afrikaans' date=' just show it is still alive .When Pierre Spies received his awards at rugby functions this year,he spoke Afrikaans. Cyclemania is one of those people that can only voice his opinion under another name. Wonder how you will speak infront of people in your 2nd language .[/quote']

 

Jammer om te sien daar is nog verkramptes in hierdie moderne tye.

Die Anglo-Boere oorlog is lankal verby.

 

Get a lifeCry

 

So nou wil jy vir ons wys maak dat mense wat afrikaans praat en trots is daarop verkramp is? Wat het dit te doen met die boere oorlog? Wat is moderne tye volgens jou? Jy is seker een van daardie tipe ouens wat sy kinders in 'n engelse skool sitsmiley2.gif Om jou voorbeeld te gebruik, hulle noem ons Hensoppers!smiley4.gif

Ek is 'n trotse Afrikaans sprekende Afrikaan. En my kind is in 'n Afrikaanse skool. Maar as mense kleinlik raak oor my taal dan sal ek my mening lig. Die vrae aan haar is gestel deur 'n internasionale gasspeker. Ek dink dit is swak maniere om hom in Afrikaans te antwoord. Indien sy haar toespraak in Afrikaans gelewer het aan die gehoor het ek geen probleem dat sy toe Afrikaans gepraat het nie.

Afrikaans was and will always be a kitchen language. Its sentence construction is to rigid and complex to gracefully accommadate words and ideas from other languages . It will always sound common when mixed with other languages..............

 

Ja, jy is seker reg. Maar dan moet jy erken dat engels die taal van vrouemoordenaars en slawedrywers is?

 

Feit is afrikaans is 'n taal wat sy onstaan in engels, duits, hollands en flaams het. Daar is ook frans en spaans in. Ek is afrikaans, en trots daarop. Ek praat dit in die kombuis, die sitkamer, op Loftus, en hier op die Hub. Ek kan en sal engels praat as dit nodig is, en ek wed jou beter as wat jy afrikaans kan praatsmiley4.gif

On this one ill support Marissa! As someone just said, how many souties will answer in afrikaans???? She couldve answered in soutie taal but its difficult to express yourself correctly in your 2nd language and she may have sounded a bit stupid then, and we wouldnt want our lady cyclist of the year embarrising herself....again?

 

 

 

EN nou moet ek ook in soutie taal myself probeer uitdruk en ek klink seker ook nou stupid...... sien julle nou!!!! smiley36.gif smiley4.gif smiley9.gif

Jy dink sy was kleinlik omdat sy in afrikaans antwoord? Ek verskil van jou, maar ons is albei geregtig op ons opinie. Maar wanneer iemand my verkramp noem en my terugvat na die boereoorlog, dan sal ek ook my mening lig . . . .

ANYWAY

apart from this whole language thing..

was a very cool evening, was interesting to see the cream of SA cycling and meet a couple of them and a couple of race organisers. Everyone looked beautiful, well organised  and the event was well run. Respect to all those who are on top of the pile.

So did you look hot?

 

Well I did my best...

LOL

Tania (Raats) and I arrived in Joburg at 5:30. Got to the hotel at er 6:35. The thing started at 7:00. Im proud to say I went from scruffy mtn bike girl to less scruffy, elegant lady in 20 min. Tania took 5 min longer, but then she had to blow dry her hair...

oh the trials and tribulations.  

Our escort nearly fell over because we were so quick!

Gentlemen and Ladies....You have lost track, pointed out to me by a

reasonble well "sports journalist".... have you not seen a pattern.

Look!!!! at the names chosen for the B S.A. team for the recent 2 away

tours Morocco etc...plus earlier tours. Look at the names of the

winners on Wednesday night. Majority of them are on a certain persons

books as an agent. Guess who's ???????

snah2' date=' ek dink you r missing something here, Afrikaans is die JONGSTE TAAL IN DIE WERLED en is nog besig om gevorm/mold te word, so die mixing van Engles en Afrikaans is normal imo, dus hoe dit van Nederland?s / Kombuis taal, stikkies Malay, Zulu, Hottentots en Vader weet wat nog na Afrikaans soos ons dit no ken getransformeer het, so hang nog n paar jaar rond en hy gaan virander / morth into something really cool<?:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /> Tongue

 

It's all about expressing jouself, what ever werkThumbs%20Up

 

Ek dink dus BEF*K want ons <?:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />kan daarmee weg kom, ons het die coolste en jongste taal en kan lekker rond *** met dit!, sweet!

ClapClapClapMarius, in die paar maande wat ek op die Hub is het ek al lekker gelag vir al jou comments en grappe, maar vandag oortref als - jy praat sense en ek is MAL daaroor!Wink 

Soos jy s? ons taal is maar 'n jonk en dit verander elke dag...dis ONS wat dit praat wat die re?ls maak en dit kan geniet.Star Persoonlik dink ek Afrikaans het 'n GROOT toekoms en dit gaan aanhou groei.Thumbs%20Up

Who really gives a rat's if a CYCLIST battles with an answer in their non-native language?

 

If you admire a top cyclist, is it for their ability to ride well or their grasp of languages?
