GERMANIC: ENGLISH & AFRIKAANS

[@mizulightblue]

I always find it fascinating of how much I can understand Afrikaans as a native German speaker. South Africa is so far away from Europe, yet the language, because of history, is so close related

[@siyabongamviko8872]

Hoe veel Afrikaans verstaan jy?

[@mizulightblue]

@@siyabongamviko8872 Hab alles verstanden davon (I understood everything)

[@kakeruyagami8406]

so closely colonized

[@dialmightyspartangod6717]

⁠@@siyabongamviko8872how much Afrikaans understand do you? So I’m guessing you’re asking how much Afrikaans do you understand?

[@siyabongamviko8872]

@dialmightyspartangod6717 yeah, I be asking that

Very nice thanks for sharing.

Please make a video about the 'Vai' language spoken in parts of Liberia and Sierra Leone. This language has its own unique writing system which is one of the very few writing systems of Africa which did not originate from the Arabic or Latin writing system.I didn’t find any video of this language in this channel. I would be very glad to know what this language sounds like!

Would be cool to compare Afrikaans with South African English. The pronunciation is so similar.

[@mahamluky]

Firstly, there is no such thing as South African English. Another thing is that a South African's accent in English varies according to the speaker's native language. The accent of a Zulu speaking English differs from that of an Afrikan speaking English.

Can we have English vs Dutch/Frisian pls

[@Delzaan]

Ma and Pa would relate more to the English Mom/Mum and Dad. Moeder and Vader relates to the English Mother and Father. Though saying Moeder en Vader for Mother and Father in Afrikaans in daily usage sounds very old fashioned when speaking to your parents that way. Broer is also the shortened version of Broeder (English Brother) and the more typical usage in everyday language to refer to your brother or speaking of your male sibling His pronunciation of Donderdag was also very Lomp as we describe it in Afrikaans. He should prounounce it clearly with the second D in Donderdag also emphasised, seems he also dropped to pronounce the third D in Donderdag as well

Are you blind? Jy is blind?

[@MateoMalagón-i3e]

La esperanza de vida se calcula a partir de las tasas de mortalidad por edad y sexo, y se basa en las tablas de vida. Para calcular la esperanza de vida al nacer, se divide el total de años-persona vividos más allá de la edad 0 entre el número de recién nacidos. Para calcular la esperanza de vida de una persona, se puede utilizar la fórmula ex=Tx / lx, donde: Tx es el número total de años vividos desde la edad x lx son los supervivientes en la edad exacta x La esperanza de vida aumenta conforme se sobrevive un año más, ya que algunos fallecen antes y sus años de vida se "trasladan" a los sobrevivientes.

Ek is nie blind nie.

[@Delzaan]

Are you blind - Is jy blind. Either you can't speak the language properly or have very limited knowledge on it
