Rendog Speaking Afrikaans

I was actually looking for a clip of him speaking Afrikaans and then I randomly found this on his charity stream! Also funny how much I could understand because I'm Dutch.

the bilingual urge to start speaking in a random language when someone else does it

[@stewie3k_]

I have a bunch of Chinese friends. The urge to start speaking Afrikaans when they speak Chinese is so tempting... the problem is that they know a bit of Afrikaans because we went to school together. Afrikaans is my home language, but it is taught at a basic level in most English schools in South Africa.

Yes you commented this 10 months ago and its super random to get a reply now, but you can thank the YT algorithm for that lmao

I don't understand, doesn't all the population of Sweden live in the South? lol

[@iristhyselius1621]

@@mapache-ehcapamwell yeah most of the population lives on the southern half, but the dialects still vary alot from for example Skåne to stockholm (which are both concidered ”south” if you just divide the country into south and north

[@mapache-ehcapam]

@@iristhyselius1621 It is interesting how smaller languages(by amount of speakers) vary a lot more over a smaller area than more widely spoken languages.

[@laurenismeme]

Keralis could very well have been speaking gibberish and I would have no idea because he said it all so confidently

[@AFlyingRaven]

He was speaking Swedish like Iskall lol

[@ShiroCh_ID]

not until you hear tagalog you can say its gibberish

He was speaking a Swedish dialect known as Skånska, which is pretty much just jibberish

dutch gal here, its true. We also say precies. Sorry about that btw :(

Fellow Dutch gal here, yeah, sorry about that. We really just came there and said "this is ours now"

[@Erick-il9df]

True. It's the same the other way around. Afrikaans and Dutch share 95% of their vocabulary.

[@ghost_it_note]

yall im an afrikaans speaking person. He actually does speak afrikaans in the middle of all that! It was actually kinda shocking to suddenly hear my home language spoken by soemone i had no idea could speak afrikaans! SOUTH AFRICANS GET REPRESENTED LET’S GOOOOOO

[@Zinoba_]

@@Melixer_ I understood as much and I'm german haha The "blind one" refers to the target that blinds the opponents in the game

[@theloved_gigi]

Also fun fact: Afrikaans is actually a bunch of languages squished together (mostly Dutch, French, Swedish, German). I’m not even joking, that’s how it was made 💀.

[@wafflecat32]

This is true. We wrote a test on it in high school and everything

[@hugomarais3638]

Don't forget the old native African languages!

Same as English, English is also a bunch of languages mixed together

[@NaroNari]

Português (Brazil) is like that, colonized by Germany, Italy, french, Spain, Portugal (and more), and the sad fate of the africans who were forced to come here because of past portugal

[@Guffyy_]

I think it is actually Dutch, German, and French but idk, maybe your right

[@screecheth]

xisuma’s “wait wait wait wait wait” of confusion lmao

[@ghost_it_note]

He says,” Dis n baie goeie plan!” (that’s a really good idea!) “Ek sal vir die blind gaan.” (I will go for the blind) wait do they say blind? i actually can’t hear 😂 “Jy gaan uhh, jy gaan vir die targets, nê? (You go, uhh, you go for the targets, right?) “Presies, Presies” (Exactly, Exactly)

[@tristandragonfire3422]

[@grutarg2938]

I don't speak any of those languages, but "blind" makes sense in the context of the game - you can blind your opponents with powdered snow.

[@CMoneyBounceHouse]

I’m American but grew up in Amsterdam for a while. A friend of mine is American and grew up in South Africa for a while. We both were only semi-fluent speakers of Dutch/Afrikaans, so when he was trying to tell me about Afrikaans, I accused him of screwing with me cause I was like “bro, that is literally Dutch”.

[@retronimus]

"Ja, ja, ja. Dis 'n baie goeie plan. Dis 'n a baie mooi plan. Ja. Ok, ek sal vir die 'blind' gaan en jy gaan vir die 'targets' né? Presies" This translate to (If I heard correctly: "Yes, yes, yes. That's a very good plan. That's a very nice plan. Yes. Ok, I will go for the blind and you will go for the targets right? Precisely."

As an Afrikaaner learning swedish, this video is great.

[@kerstinmuir3520]

My parents are South African and I’ve rarely ever heard Afrikaans outside of my parent’s and my mom’s family and hearing it makes me really happy

[@DissonantSynth]

My first language is Afrikaans and Rendog spoke a broken version of it. Afrikaans is probably his 2nd language.

[@AFlyingRaven]

I'm fairly sure English is his first but he grew up in South Africa so he leaned it there

[@DissonantSynth]

@@AFlyingRaven yes; I'm South African too. He just mixed up the word order a bit. Nowadays, there's not really a reason you would need to learn Afrikaans if it's not your 1st language, but the schooling system was **much** different when he was still in school. It's still a primary academic language, but you definitely don't need it to study or for your career.

[@princeapoopoo5787]

Im learning Dutch and I always get excited when Ren speaks Afrikaans and I manage to understand a bit of it lol He's one of my favourite Hermits too :D

[@JevinMchelm]

Isn't his family from south Africa? I thought he went back to see his mom on vacation and she was there.

[@alexgallion8112]

Yes Ren is from South Africa

[@jaspboynl8094]

His first language is English, but he is from South-Africa so learned a bit of Afrikaans.

I guess everyone is dropping fun facts about languages, so here i come: Germans can almost understand everything said in Austria and Switzerland

[@sirfloofish]

don't they literally speak german there? just with a VERY heavy accent

[@LibraryofAcousticMagic3240]

@@sirfloofish exactly. But lexical differences can be quite tricky. The word for cream is "Sahne" in Germany, "Rahm", in Switzerland and "Oberst" in Austria. So yeah, can be tricky, usually it isn't though.
