Hi Wernar' date='

 

I am NOT laughing at you. Actually trying to help.

 

 

 

Lighten up guys and learn to take some constructive criticism.

Shot jagwil - I appreciate the sentiment.

 

What could help me, firstly, it is werner, not wernar, in Afrikaans that plays on you calling me a clown, which could make us bad friends right from the start.

 

 

 

Also, maybe we can help one another, best to correct the other person in his / her own language, that way we can all grow together!

Jammer Werner.

Eintlik lag ek nie vir jou nie. Ek probeer net om te help.

 Mense, moenie dinge so ernstig opneem nie.

Probeer net om n bietjie konstruktiewe kritiek te aanvaar

 

Beter so.

Ja, ek kan die Afrikaanse Taal redelik goed besig..

Net n tikvout. Ek het nie bedoel om jou n nar te noem nie.

No I am a mountain Biker who is just amazed by the fact that there so many people out there who have Matric Certificates which state that they have passed English but who do not appear to have any idea of the basics of English usage.

 

At least when I use Afrikaans I try to use it correctly

jaqwil, should, you wish, you will drive yourself absolutely insane lending from, to borrow to, on the hub.

 

Just cause we passed doesnt mean to say we know Wink. Those latter former, prepositional verbs, that juxtaposition nouns, never make any sense.

 

 

 

 

 

 

*please see the humour*

Here comes the translation for wackwack:

 

Sorry Werner.

I am actually not laughing at you.

I am just trying to help.

Guys, don't take things so seriously.

Try to accept a little constructive criticism.

 

Yes I can speak Afrikaans reasonably well.

Just a typing error. I did not intend to call you a clown.

 

(End of translation)

HAPPY NOW. And NO cat-i I am not a girl.

For Slowbee. I do see the humour. I am actually enjoying this. It is interesting and sometimes amusing to see the different reactions.

 

Vir cat-i..Dit moet seker,"maAr more is te laat vir my" wees.

I respect the fact that you are a girl but that is not a valid excuse these days.
