Jackes Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 BUT WHY IS RICHARD = DICK AND WILLIAM = BILLi cant make sense of it! phew, thought it was only me. Feel better about the afrikaans names now.
Guest Big H Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Afrikaners = Africans Afrikaanses = Afrikaans speaking people. From the dictionary:- Af?rican, (n) Afrikaan Afrika?ner2, (-s), Afrikaner; Boer; South African Afrikaans?, (s) Afrikaans (language) There is no such word as "Afrikaanses" It is a word thought out by an ienglieshmens.
Guest colonel Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 It makes no difference with the Afrikaans names, its a dying language and soon there wont be any Flips, Koos and all the rest.

Maybe a few fanies, flips and Kosies can survive as well. FanieFiets2009-01-28 04:24:39

Soek jy weer aandag sodat jou fanclub vir jou Private Mails van aanmoediging kan stuur klein mannetjie!!!!!!!! I refuse to lower my standards and get out a "(dying) afrikaans dictionary" and try and translate what you have typed there. BUT I am sure you only sang my praises so I will walk away with a smile on my face knowing my job is done!
Guest Big H Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 BigH is now the "Moer in"...is that correct?! My Afrikaans is kinda bad! Nee wat grys uil ek is nie de moer in nie ek is net verbaas dat die verwaande klein etter aanmekaar torring met die "Afrikaans is dood" storietjie van hom. In die beskermde enklawe van ienglieshmens in die Kaap Kolonie waar die klein moer bly dink die arme gin and tonice styweboordjie sotlike maatjies van hom dat dit dalk gebeur. Sjeim!!!!!!!
Guest Agteros Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 afrikaaner is a verb There is no such word as "afrikaaner", as it contradicts all the spelling rules of the Afrikaans language. The aa (lang a) gets shortened because of the suffix (agtervoegsel), hence afrikaner.

Sjeim!!!!!!!Ek wil nie petrol op die vuur gooi nie, maar die ingilse probeer al Afrikaans onderdruk sedert die 1800s. Die Afrikaners was toe minder en hulle het nie eers boeke of skole gehad wat die volk onderig het nie en nog steeds kon hulle nie slaag nie. Selfs nie eers 'n verbrande aarde veldtog tydens die boere oorlog kan ons onder kry nie. Wat wel waar is oor die ingilse is dat die son nooit oor hulle ryk gesak het nie en nou skaars 'n 100 jaar later is daar nou minder ryk en sommer baie krake in die eens magtige "empire"Solank ons die taal praat sal hy NOOIT sterf nie. Jy kan hom van die boeke afhaal. Uit die wet uit. Noem maar op. Dit sal NIE werk nie.Groete
