Also damn I got dissed hard in Afrikaans.It was cool hearing Die Antwoord, because at first I thought they were speaking dutch which I know a little bit of because my mother is fluent and used it a lot growing up, they're pretty similar sounding too.
Damn straight.
Yeah, Afrikaans is an unusual mix of Dutch and German and probably a couple other things. So far I have learnt how to say/write:
My naam is ____. Ek het a papa, a ma en 'n suster. Ek sewentien. My suster is a mooi blum.
And I can have a short conversation:
Goeie môre, hoe is jy?
Gud dankie. En jy?
Gud dankie. Wat doen jy vandag?
Ek het werkle toe. En jy?
Ek het werk toe. Sien jy later.
Tootsiens. Lekker dag!
