2 or 3 to many.

 

That would be "too" many. 

tsk..tsk..tsk...nou moet ons boere girltjies julle souties nog leer hoe om engels te praat ook.

Do you really want to discuss this? All languages change through time, rarely do they die. Yes there are lots of dialects within languages, for example from the Cape coloured Afrikaans to the platteland Afrikaans. Afrikaans itself was derived from what? Dutch? English...have you heard the "English" you hear in the streets of London? I'm sorry but THAT is not English. Compare English spoken today to English spoken 300 years ago. That English is very very dead. No I don't think Afrikaans is a dying language, esp with people like Nellie around. If Afrikaans is dying so is the culture and the people who are part of that. As far as I can see that is definitely not the case. I do afterall live in Stellenbosch!

dammit Im sposed to be writing my thesis not debating language!

Manbat,

 

 I now have time to reply to your comments about my posting...

 

1) Sour grapes??? why would the journo ( reporter ) who pointed out to

me the coincidence, have sour grapes? he actually voted himself...They

speak amongst themselves they know who voted for whom.

 

2) I am, not a resident of your  country, and I have passed the

elite age group for racing.... HAVE SOUR GRAPES ???? I don't think so.

Hey, hoekom nie?? Kom ons kyk of ons 'n rekordgetal replies kan kry wat omtrent dieselfde s?...

 

"uhm...translate please"

Zipp..... I agree. Between Paul and Phil they understand French / Italian and Spanish enough to understand the interview. But Afrikaans they don't. I have no problem with Marissa speaking Afrikaans but for me it just show respect to the world two top commentators. They would have longer chats to her if they understood her.

  so dis nou hoogtyd dat hulle 'n ordentlike taal leer praat?

 

daar's net een taal wat die Engelse kan praat, .... .... ***!!!!

[Thug]

Ek is 'n Soutie en trots daaroor 

[Mudsimus]

Daarop...Thug...
