I love the language! I went to South-Africa in December and I could understand much of what the people said/ wrote in Afrikaans. I think that's because I'm Dutch. So reading Afrikaans was quite easy. Since then I've been in love with the country, the language and Jack Parow.

Ek verstaan amper fokkol wat julle sê nie, julle praat te vinnig vir my. I worked with a south african born Dutch girl, I struggled to understand her also. But a Dutch and Afrikaans mix....... what a language to behold, dis n befokte mengsel! fok my!!! , Dutch poeple here like to curse in Afrikaans, Aswell do English people......

[@renzesinia1234]

Well if i hear Afrikaans i hear 80% Dutch and 20% English, so it might be a lot more than a few words that are the same. I looked it up in Wikipedia and it says it actually was Dutch, and over time is "corrupted" into Afrikaans.

Because the internet is a worldwide network and English is the internet's (and science's) Esperanto. It gives the non-Dutch- and non-Afrikaans-speaking viewers (a.k.a. almost the entire world) the opportunity to understand these comments. So the simple answer to your question 'why people are commenting in English?' is: attentiveness - the trait of being considerate and thoughtful of others. Kind regards from Amsterdam.
