GRAMMAR

In Afrikaans, "Please" is asseblief. Let's break it down by syllable.

(slow) asseblief

Now let's hear it one more time. asseblief

The easiest way to use "please" is to point at something while saying Asseblief, but let's try to expand on this a bit, shall we? Let's start with the expression "This, please," which in Afrikaans is Hierdie Asseblief. It literally means "This, please." In English, "this" comes before "please." In Afrikaans, the order is the same. So we have Hierdie asseblief.

First, we have "this," or in Afrikaans, Hierdie.

(slow) Hierdie

Hierdie.

Using this word, "This, please" in Afrikaans is...

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #3 - PLEASE IN AFRIKAANS 3 (slow) Hierdie asseblief

The pronoun "this" or Hierdie can be replaced by dit, which also means "this." Let's see this again.

Now, look at the word for "that" in Afrikaans. It's daardie.

(slow) daardie daardie

Using this word, "That please" in Afrikaans is..

(slow) daardie asseblief daardie asseblief

The pronoun "that" or daardie can be replaced by dit, which also means "that" or "this." Let's see this again.

(slow) dit dit

If you've forgotten or don't know the name of the object you're asking for, it's okay to point at it and say "this, please," Hierdie asseblief, or "that, please," Daardie asseblief.

If you know the name of the object, you can say the name of the object, then say asseblief meaning "please."

For example, if you need a piece of bread, you can say "One bread, please," or in Afrikaans Een brood asseblief.

(slow) Een brood asseblief.

Een brood asseblief.

Firs t we have een meaning "one."

(slow) een een

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #3 - PLEASE IN AFRIKAANS 4 Then, we have "bread" which is brood in Afrikaans.

(slow) brood brood

CULTURAL INSIGHT

Quick Tip #1

Pointing at people is considered very rude in South Africa. However, pointing at an object in order to explain what you want is perfectly ﬁne.

Quick Tip #2

You might feel it's a bit abrupt to just point at things and say Hierdie, asseblief or Daardie asseblief at ﬁrst. You needn't worry though, because in South African culture body language is just as important as what you say. Remember to smile and enjoy yourself! Most South Africans will just be delighted that you've made the eﬀort to learn some Afrikaans.

But in the expression Goeie naand, we run the a of aand together with an n to make it easier to pronounce.

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #4 - BASIC AFRIKAANS GREETINGS 4 Let's hear it again."Good evening."

(slow) Goeie naand.

Goeie naand.

With friends you can simply say "Hi there," which is hi daar in Afrikaans.

(slow) hi daar hi daar

Note that this can be used only in informal situations. Another informal greeting is Dag, meaning, "Day" as in "a good day."

(slow) Dag. Dag.

When you see your friends in South Africa, simply say hi daar or dag.

CULTURAL INSIGHT

Quick Tip #1

Many Afrikaans greetings are accompanied by nonverbal gestures such as a smile, handshake, kiss on the cheek, or bowing your head a little. In some situations, men will kiss women on their hands or tip their hat.

When greeting a friend we can always ask, Wat gaan aan?, which means "Whats going on?" or Wat is nuut? meaning "What's new?" in English.

Quick Tip #2

South Africa has nine diﬀerent provinces and eleven oﬃcial languages. Afrikaans is most commonly spoken in the Western Cape and the Northern Cape, as well as in Pretoria, Bloemfontein, and other major cities. Apart from Afrikaans, the two other most commonly spoken languages in South Africa are Zulu and Xhosa. If you really want to impress the South Africans you meet on your travels, try using the Zulu greeting Sawubona, as well!

In South Africa, there aren't a lot of public toilets. You'll probably have better luck in a nearby café, restaurant, or gas station. Look for the sign "WC," pronounced [wee- cee]. But if you aren't a customer, you'll sometimes have to pay for using the toilet unless it's open to the public.

When you ﬁnally get to the restroom, there may be one last problem-How to know which bathroom is for men, and which is for women. We usually have signs on the bathroom door. For women, this could be a ﬁgure of a girl or a circle. They may also use the word Vroue, meaning "women."

"Do you understand?" "I don't like soccer."

Dis nie goed nie.

"It's not good."

GRAMMAR

In Afrikaans, "I don't understand" is Ek verstaan nie. Let's break it down by syllable.

(slow) Ek verstaan nie

Now let's see it one more time.

Ek verstaan nie

First we have the word ek, which means "I" in this context.

(slow) ek ek

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #7 - I DON'T UNDERSTAND IN AFRIKAANS 3 Ne xt, we have verstaan, which means "to understand."

(slow) verstaan verstaan

With these two words you can say ek verstaan meaning "I do understand."

To say "I don't understand" you simply need to add one extra word meaning "not." nie.

(slow) nie nie

Therefore "I don't understand" in Afrikaans is...

(slow) Ek verstaan nie

Ek verstaan nie

To make your sentence polite, you can add "I'm sorry" at the beginning of the sentence, which is Ek is jammer in Afrikaans.

So the whole phrase will be "I'm sorry, I don't understand." In Afrikaans, this is

Ek is jammer, ek verstaan nie.

When you don't understand something, you can also be more proactive and say "What does it mean?" This phrase in Afrikaans is Wat bedoel dit? Let's break it down by syllable.

(slow) Wat bedoel dit?

Once again...

Wat bedoel dit?

The ﬁrst word, wat, means "what."

(slow) wat wat

The second word is bedoel, the verb meaning "to mean."

(slow) bedoel bedoel

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #7 - I DON'T UNDERSTAND IN AFRIKAANS 4 Lastly, we have the pronoun dit, meaning "that."

(slow) dit dit

All together, once again "What does it mean?" is...

Wat bedoel dit?

CULTURAL INSIGHT

Quick Tip #1

In the beginning of your stay in South Africa it might be a little diﬃcult to understand what locals are saying because they may speak very fast or may have a strong accent. But if you don't understand something, please don't be afraid to use the phrase Verskoon my, ek verstaan nie. They will be more than happy to give you an explanation. Or maybe you've understood the general meaning of the phrase, but there was a word or two you've never heard before. The expression Wat bedoel dat? or "What does it mean?" would come in very handy here.

Quick Tip #2

If for any reason you forget how to say "I don't understand" in Afrikaans you can always use some body language. For example, you can always shake your head left and right. Another option is to shrug your shoulders.

Praat u Engels?

Firs t we have Praat u, which means, "Do you speak?"

(slow) Praat u,

Praat u,

Praat is a verb meaning "to speak." Here it's used with the pronoun U, meaning "you."

Next, we have the word for "English." In Afrikaans, it's Engels.

(slow) Engels

Engels

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #8 - DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH? IN AFRIKAANS 3 To recap, the whole phrase for "Do you speak English?" is Praat u Engels?

To make your request more polite, you can add "sir" or "ma'am" in Afrikaans.

"Sir" in Afrikaans is meneer, and "ma'am" is mevrou. With these you can say Praat u Engels, meneer? meaning "Do you speak English, sir?" or Praat u Engels, mevrou?"Do you speak English, ma'am?"

The phrase we just learned is perfect in a formal setting. So it will sound more polite if you add "Excuse me," which is verskoon my, at the beginning of the sentence.

Verskoon my. Praat u Engels, meneer.

"Excuse me. Do you speak English, sir? (slow) Verskoon my. Praat u Engels, meneer.

Verskoon my. Praat u Engels, meneer.

You should always use this phrase with people you don't know or elders.

When speaking to someone you know or people around your own age, we can use a less formal expression to ask "Do you speak English?" Praat jy Engels? Now we'll break it down by syllable. (slow) Praat jy Engels?

Praat jy Engels?

In this less formal phrase we used the informal second person pronoun jy. Here's the entire phrase once again.

In Afrikaans, "I'm sorry" is Ek is jammer. Let's break it down by syllable.

Yo u c a n u s e Ek is jammer in both formal and informal situations. We use Ek is jammer when we've said or done something oﬀensive, wrong, or embarrassing. If you want to be short and informal you can just say sorry, which sounds similar to the English word "Sorry."

We mentioned in our previous lessons that Verskoon my means "Excuse me."

You can use this when you're trying to work your way through a crowd at the subway station, when you're trying to get someone's attention in a store, or when you ask for directions.

Now, what if someone says, Ek is jammer to you after they've done something wrong? You want to respond "No problem," or "That's okay." In this case, the proper response should be Geen probleem nie, which literally means, "No problem."

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #10 - APO LO GIES IN AFRIKAANS 3 (slow) Geen probleem nie

When you read a number with an object, for example, "three tomatoes," the number comes ﬁrst in Afrikaans, just like in English. In Afrikaans, "three tomatoes" is drie tomaties. "three tomatoes."

(slow) drie tomaties drie tomaties

Drie is the Afrikaans number "three" and we have the noun tomaties, meaning "tomatoes." Tom at ies is the plural of tomatie. In Afrikaans, as you have seen, nouns have singular and plural forms.

If you want to say "four tomatoes," you should say vier tomaties.

(slow) vier tomaties. vier tomaties.

Numbers can be very useful, especially when shopping in South Africa.

Let's imagine you are buying some presents to bring back to your country. For example, imagine you would like to buy two bottles of good South African wine from the Western Cape.

Say "I would like to buy two bottles of wine." In Afrikaans, you can say Ek wil graag twee bottels wyn koop.

It's followed by bottels, which is the plural form for bottel, which means "bottle."

(slow) bottels bottels

Next, we have the word wyn meaning "wine."

(slow) wyn wyn

And at the end, we have the verb meaning "to buy" which is koop in Afrikaans.

(slow) koop koop

Altogether, once again, "I would like to buy two bottles of wine." in Afrikaans is..

(slow) Ek wil graag twee bottels wyn koop.

Ek wil graag twee bottels wyn koop.

Instead of two bottles of wine, you can make a sentence about "two t-shirts." in Afrikaans, "two t-shirts" is twee t-hemde.

(slow) twee t-hemde twee t-hemde

Using this pattern, you can say "I'd like to buy two t-shirts." In Afrikaans, that is Ek wil graag twee t-hemde koop.

It has a unique red color, is naturally caﬀeine-free, and only grows in South Africa.

"My class has twenty-nine "There are thirty-ﬁve houses in st udent s." my town."

My ouma is honderd jaar oud.

"My grandmother is one hundred year-old."

GRAMMAR

In Afrikaans, counting from 11-19 is also quite straightforward, so let's jump right in.

First, we have "eleven."

(slow) elf elf

Ne xt, "twe lve ."

(slow) twaalf twaalf

"thirteen"

(slow) dertien

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #12 - CO UNTING FRO M 11- 100 IN AFRIKAANS 3 dertien

"fourteen"

(slow) veertien veertien

"ﬁfteen"

(slow) vyftien vyftien

"sixteen"

(slow) sestien sestien

"seventeen"

(slow) sewentien sewentien

"eighteen"

(slow) agtien agtien

"nineteen"

(slow) negentien negentien

As you may have noticed, each number from 13 to 19 ends with -tien, which is equivalent to "-teen," as in "thirteen," in English. All you have to do is take the numbers from 3-9 and then add -tien to them.

Now, let's go to the bigger numbers starting from "twenty." In Afrikaans, "twenty" is...

(slow) twintig twintig

"thirty"

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #12 - CO UNTING FRO M 11- 100 IN AFRIKAANS 4 (slow) dertig dertig

"forty"

(slow) veertig veertig

"ﬁfty"

"sixty"

(slow) sestig sestig

"seventy"

(slow) sewentig sewentig

"eighty"

(slow) tagtig tagtig

"ninety"

(slow) negentig negentig

Now you will learn to count all the way up to 100. So what about numbers 21 to 99?

Let's use the number twenty-nine as an example.

Keep in mind that, unlike English, you will say the last number ﬁrst. To say "twenty- nine" in Afrikaans, you need to say literally "nine twenty." In Afrikaans, "twenty" is twintig and "Nine" is nege. So ﬁrst, say nege twintig. Then between the numbers, add en which means "and." Now, you have nege-en-twintig which means "twenty- nine" or literally "nine and twenty." Let's hear this once again.

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #12 - CO UNTING FRO M 11- 100 IN AFRIKAANS 5 (slow) nege-en-twintig nege-en-twintig

Using the same pattern, let's say "thirty-five." We know that "five" in Afrikaans is vyf. Then we have to add the number for "thirty," which is dertig. Between, make sure to add en, meaning "and." So all together, "thirty-five" in Afrikaans is Vyf en dertig.

(slow) Vyf en dertig

Vyf en dertig

Before we ﬁnish up, let's take a look at one more number - "one hundred" In Afrikaans, that is een honderd.

(slow) een honderd een honderd

Quick Tip #1

Shopping in South Africa's many malls and marketplaces can be a great experience and you can enhance that experience by learning how to say numbers in Afrikaans. For example, if you want to shop for clothes but have no idea how to tell the clerks your size, studying this lesson will help you buy that lovely sweater you saw in the window.

Quick Tip #2

If you like to buy a lot of fruits and vegetables, we strongly recommend that you do your shopping at the local markets. They usually consist of many stands or booths where local farmers sell their produce. They are generally fresher and cheaper than in a regular store, and are a great way to support local people on your trip. You should be able to ﬁnd local markets in every big city and town in South Africa.

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #14 - PLEASE LOWER THE PRICE IN AFRIKAANS 2 Dit is te duur. Gee my asseblief 'n af slag

"That's too expensive." "Please give me a discount."

GRAMMAR

Upon entering a market, or in Afrikaans, mark, you will ﬁnd a variety of colorful stalls and will no doubt immediately ﬁnd something that interests you.

Normally, if you are interested in buying something you'd say "Excuse me, how much is this?" In Afrikaans, that is Verskoon my, hoeveel kos dit?

(slow) Verskoon my, hoeveel kos dit?

Verskoon my, hoeveel kos dit?

As soon as they tell you, you can start bargaining to lower the price. We can't guarantee that the seller will lower the price, but it's worth a try. To ask "Can you lower the price?" you can say Kan jy die prys verlaag?

Let's repeat the whole phrase once more.

(slow) Kan jy die prys verlaag?

Kan jy die prys verlaag?

Let's have a look at this phrase. We start the question with Kan, which we'll get into in a minute. Next, we have jy, meaning "you." Then we have die prys, meaning "the price."

The last word of the sentence is verlaag which means "to lower." Let's repeat the whole phrase once again. "Can you lower the price?"

Kan jy die prys verlaag?

(slow) Kan jy die prys verlaag?

Kan jy die prys verlaag?

If you're speaking to a male merchant, add the word meneer at the end, which means "sir." Kan jy die prys verlaag, meneer? "Can you lower the price, sir?"

(slow) Kan jy die prys verlaag, meneer ?

Kan jy die prys verlaag, meneer ?

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #14 - PLEASE LOWER THE PRICE IN AFRIKAANS 3 At this point, the merchant will start haggling and the ﬁnal result is in your hands!

Another way to express the feeling that something is too expensive and that you want to start haggling, is with Te duur. It means , "too expens ive."

(slow) Te duur

Te duur

Let's imagine that you are at a market and you want to buy a bag. You want to suggest your price to the merchant in a straightforward fashion, establishing your own price as the one you will bargain for. The merchant has just told you that the bag costs two hundred rand. You desperately want that bag, but it's too expensive and you want to suggest one hundred and ﬁfty rand.

In that case, you can say, Ek sal jou een honderd en vyftig rand daarvoor gee, which means "I will give you one hundred and ﬁfty rand for this." Let's repeat the whole phrase.

(slow) Ek sal jou een honderd en vyftig rand daarvoor gee.

Ek sal jou een honderd en vyftig rand daarvoor gee.

Firs t, we have Ek sal jou, which literally means, "I will you."

(slow) Ek sal jou

Ek sal jou

Then we have een honderd en vyftig rand which means "one hundred and ﬁfty rand."

(slow) een honderd en vyftig rand een honderd en vyftig rand

We ﬁnish with daarvoor gee, which means, "to give for this."

(slow) daarvoor gee daarvoor gee

If you can't make a deal at ﬁrst keep suggesting the lower number until you ﬁnally get your bargain.

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #14 - PLEASE LOWER THE PRICE IN AFRIKAANS 4 Quick Tip #1

South Africans don't like to haggle too much, but merchants are more willing to lower the price of their products towards the end of the day. If they know that you are a foreigner, the chances that they will lower their prices are even smaller. You can always try. Who knows, maybe you'll be "successful." Sterkte!

Quick Tip #2

Almost every big city in South Africa has its mark or "market." In some cities, such as Cape Town, the market is organized every day and it's held in the same place. Market traders include both intermediaries who sell products bought from farmers, and the farmers themselves who sell their goods directly to increase their proﬁts. Vegetables and fruits are usually fresher than at a regular store. Don't do your shopping immediately after entering the market. Walk around a little bit, check prices at diﬀerent vendors, and then go back to the one that was the cheapest. If you get the chance to visit one, Survival Phrases will be perfect for your day of Afrikaans haggling.

Rand ( S o uth Afric an rand currency) noun

SAMPLE SENTENCES

Dit kos 200 Rand. Die sak kos 500 euro.

"It costs 200 rand." "The bag costs 500 euro."

GRAMMAR

Let's try to say prices in Afrikaans. Let's start with 28 Rand and 25 cents.

First, you say the number, followed by the currency unit Rand. Twenty-eight in Afrikaans is Agt en twintig so 28 rand in Afrikaans is Agt en twintig rand.

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #15 - CURRENCY IN SO UTH AFRICA 2 (slow) Agt en twintig rand.

Agt en twintig rand.

Then we have 25 cents. Twenty-ﬁve in Afrikaans is vyf en twintig and cents is the singular word sent in Afrikaans. You could also use sente, which is the plural form of sent. When talking about prices you can use both singular and plural.

Altogether, you can say vyf en twintig sent.

(slow) vyf en twintig sent. vyf en twintig sent.

Note that before you say 25 cents, you need to add the conjunction en, which means "and." Now say "28 Rand 25 cents" in Afrikaans.

(slow) Agt en twintig rand en vyf en twintig sent.

Agt en twintig rand en vyf en twintig sent.

It literally means "28 Rand AND 25 Cents."

Saying Rand and sent is not so common in South Africa, so it sounds natural if you just say the numbers. For example, "28 Rand AND 25 Cents" can be said Agt en twintig vyf en twintig. which literally means "28, 25."

(slow) Agt en twintig vyf en twintig

Agt en twintig vyf en twintig

In this case, make sure to pause after the number for Rand to make sure that it's clear which number is for rand and which is for cent. Here it is again.

(slow) Agt en twintig vyf en twintig

Agt en twintig vyf en twintig

In context, it would be clear that this means "28 Rand AND 25 Cents," or literally "twenty-eight twenty-ﬁve."

Let's hear the phrase once more. If you want to say 49 Rand 99 cents, you can say...

Nege en veertig Rand en nege en negentig sent.

It literally means "49 rand and 99 cents."

(slow) Nege en veertig Rand en nege en negentig sent.

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #15 - CURRENCY IN SO UTH AFRICA 3 Nege en veertig Rand en nege en negentig sent.

Or, in a shorter version, you can say Nege en veertig nege en negentig which literally means "forty-nine and ninety-nine."

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #16 - RIDING THE BUS IN SOUTH AFRICA, PART 1 2 In Afrikaans, we can ﬁnd out about the destination of a bus ot train by asking, Verskoon my, gaan hierdie bus na[your destination] toe? which means "Excuse me, does this bus go near/close to...?" Let's hear the phrase once again.

(slow) Verskoon my, gaan hierdie bus na[add your destination] toe?

Verskoon my, gaan hierdie bus na [add your destination] toe?

Let's break it down. First we have Verskoon my meaning "excuse me." Next, we have gaan, meaning "to go." This is followed by hierdie bus na, which means, "this bus going near." Then you can say the destination and the word toe meaning "to."

Let's hear the phrase once again.

(slow) Verskoon my, gaan hierdie bus na[add your destination] toe?

Verskoon my, gaan hierdie bus na[add your destination] toe?

"Excuse me, does this bus go near/close to...?" After you say Verskoon my, gaan hierdie bus, you state the name of your destination, and then add toe.

Let's imagine now that you are in Cape Town and you have to go to "The VandA Waterfront," or in Afrikaans, Die V en A Waterkant. This is the famous harbor area of Cape Town.

How would you ask the bus driver if this bus goes to or near the VandA Waterfront or die V en A Waterkant? In Afrikaans, you can say Verskoon my, gaan hierdie bus na die V en A Waterkant. toe?

It means "Excuse me, does this bus go near the VandA Waterfront?"

As you can see, in this sentence you can ask about anywhere by simply adding where you want to go.

Now imagine that you are visiting a city for the ﬁrst time and you have no idea how far it is between the places you want to visit. You need to ask the bus driver how long the bus takes. In that case, you can say Hoe lank sal dit duur na [add your destination] toe?

...which means "How long does it take to get to ... ?" then you add your destination.

In this sentence, ﬁrst we have hoe lank which means "how long."

(slow) hoe lank hoe lank

Then we have sal dit duur, which means "will it take." Sal means "shall" or "will" in Afrikaans, dit is the pronoun meaning "it." and duur is the verb, meaning "to take."

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #16 - RIDING THE BUS IN SOUTH AFRICA, PART 1 3 So altogether it is,

(slow) sal dit duur, sal dit duur,

Ne xt we have na, which is like the English word "to." You need to end the sentence with the word toe.

Using this phrase, you can say "How long does it take to get to Cape town?" In Afrikaans you can say Hoe lank sal dit duur om na Kaapstad toe te gaan? Cape Town in Afrikaans is Kaapstad. Let's hear the sentence once again.

Quick Tip #1

There are many taxi companies throughout South Africa. They usually have a TAXI sign on the roof with their phone number. It's not advisable to try and hail a taxi in the street. If you're at a restaurant or at your hotel, you can ask them to phone a company for you. There's no extra charge for this service. A taxi should arrive promptly, and they're generally well priced and reliable. You only have to give them the name of the street where you want them to pick you up.

Quick Tip #2

On average, a ﬁve kilometer ride would be around 60 Rand and a ten kilometer ride about 110 Rand. We would strongly encourage you to have change on you when taking a taxi to be on the safe side. You don't want to be overcharged just because the driver says he doesn't have change.

The exchange rates when withdrawing money from an ATM are likely to be quite good. However, when you're using an ATM it's advisable to make one large withdrawal as both the local bank and your home bank may charge you a certain fee per transaction. So first things first, let's find a location that will exchange money.

First, let's review some previous phrases and patterns we've already covered.

In Afrikaans, "Where is the closest ATM?" is Waar is die naaste ATM?

Let's break it down by syllable.

(slow) Waar is die naaste ATM?

Waar is die naaste ATM?

Let's break this down. First we have Waar, meaning "where." Then we have is which means "is" and die naaste which means "the closest." Next we have ATM which is "ATM." Now let's hear it once again.

(slow) Waar is die naaste A TM?

Waar is die naaste ATM?

If you want to ask where the closest bank is, you can just replace the word ATM with the word for "bank." In Afrikaans, "bank" is bank so you can say...

Waar is die naaste bank?, which means "Where is the closest bank?"

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #21 - ASKING WHERE YOU CAN FIND SOMETHING IN AFRIKAANS 3 (slow) Waar is die naaste bank?

Waar is die naaste bank?

For times when there is neither a bank nor an ATM, you can ask, "Where can I exchange money?" In Afrikaans, this is Waar kan ek geld wissel?

(slow) Waar kan ek geld wissel?

Waar kan ek geld wissel?

Firs t, we have waar meaning "where." Then we have kan ek, which means "can I." It's followed by geld wissel meaning "money exchange." Let's hear the sentence again.

(slow) Waar kan ek geld wissel?

Waar kan ek geld wissel?

"Where can I exchange money?"

Exchanging currency is pretty straightforward. One extremely useful phrase is "Smaller denominations, please." It's usually helpful to have smaller bills on you for paying bus fares, taxi fares, and so on.

In Afrikaans, "Smaller denominations, please" is Kleingeld asseblief.

(slow) Kleingeld asseblief

Kleingeld asseblief

Firs t, we have klein, meaning "small." Next, we have geld, which means "money." Together, they mean, "smaller denominations." Then we have the word asseblief, meaning "please." Altogether, we have Kleingeld asseblief which means "Smaller denominations, please."

(slow) Kleingeld asseblief

Kleingeld asseblief

Quick Tip

Depending on your bank's rates back home, the easiest way to get hold of South African Rand is to withdraw money from the ATM. There are ATMs located near all

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #21 - ASKING WHERE YOU CAN FIND SOMETHING IN AFRIKAANS 4 major tourist sites, shopping malls and by the arrivals area of the international airports. Some big names to look out for are FNB Bank, Standard Bank, and ABSA, as well as all the other major international banks. When changing money, always make sure to check the exchange rate and whether you will be charged commission. Never change money on the street, as this is a very common way to get scammed!

Ek hou van kaas. My sussie hou nie van kaas nie.

"I like cheese." "My sister doesn't like cheese."

Dit is my gunsteling gereg My suster is 'n vegetariër

"This is my favorite dish." "My sister is a vegetarian."

GRAMMAR

This lesson is not only for all of the vegetarians out there, but also for anyone with an aversion to a particular food! There are many reasons a person won't or can't eat a particular food and there may be instances when communicating this is necessary. In this lesson we'll go over some phrases to make sure you don't get any unwanted surprises on your plate.

In Afrikaans, "I am a vegetarian" is Ek is 'n vegetariër.

(slow) Ek is 'n vegetariër

The ﬁrst two words, Ek is, mean, "I am." Next, we have 'n vegetariër, which means "a vegetarian." The word vegetariër can be used for both men and women. Let's hear the sentence once again.

(slow) Ek is 'n vegetariër

Ek is 'n vegetariër

Another way you can communicate that you don't eat a particular food is by saying just that!

In Afrikaans, "I don't eat meat" is Ek eet nie vleis nie.

(slow) Ek eet nie vleis nie

Ek eet nie vleis nie

The ﬁrst word, Ek, means "I." Then we have eet, the verb meaning, "to eat..." Then ﬁnally we have nie vleis nie, meaning, "no meat." So the sentence Ek eet nie vleis nie literally means "I eat no meat."

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #22 - SAYING YOU'RE A VEGETARIAN IN AFRIKAANS 3 We can use this sentence for other kinds of food simply by changing just one word! Replace vleis with the word for any other food that you don't eat. For example, to say "I don't eat cheese" you can say Ek eet nie kaas nie using the word kaas for "cheese." "I don't eat cheese."

(slow) Ek eet nie kaas nie.

If you want to make sure your food doesn't have an ingredient you can't or don't want to eat, you should simply ask about it. For example, if you want to make sure a meal doesn't have meat, you should ask "Is there meat in this dish?" In Afrikaans, this is

Is daar vleis in hierdie gereg?

(slow) Is daar vleis in hierdie gereg?

Is daar vleis in hierdie gereg?

Firs t we have Is daar, which means "Is there." Then we have vleis, the word for "meat."Then we have the phrase in hierdie gereg, meaning "in this dish." The word for "dish" is gereg in Afrikaans. Let's hear the sentence once again.

(slow) Is daar vleis in hierdie gereg?

Is daar vleis in hierdie gereg?

GRAMMAR

In Afrikaans, "cold medicine" is Medisyne vir 'n verkoue.

Medisyne vir 'n verkoue

Another way to say "cold medicine" is Verkou e medisyne.

In this phrase, we used the word Verkou e medisyne to mean "cold medicine."

(slow) Verkou e medisyne asseblief.

Verkou e medisyne asseblief.

Now, let's see how to explain your symptoms.

In Afrikaans, "I have a headache" is Ek het 'n hoofpyn. Let's break it down by syllable.

(slow) Ek het 'n hoofpyn

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S1 #23 - GETTING MEDICINE IN SOUTH AFRICA 3 Ek het 'n hoofpyn

The ﬁrst words are ek het, which means "I have." Next, we have 'n hoofpyn., which means "a headache." So altogether we have Ek 'n het hoofpyn., which literally means "I have a head pain," or in English, "I have a headache."

(slow) Ek het 'n hoofpyn.

Ek het 'n hoofpyn.

If you need a diﬀerent way to say you are in pain you can use a diﬀerent word. For example, if you have a stomachache you can say Ek het maagpyn, "I have a stomachache," or literally "I have a stomach pain."

(slow) Ek het maagpyn.

Ek het maagpyn. maagpyn is the word meaning "stomach pain," or in English, "stomachache."

Simple things, such as greeting someone in the morning with goeie môre instead of "good morning," or introducing yourself in the native language, will go a long way towards making friends with your hosts.

Quick Tip #2

Formal contact is usually between people who don't know each other, between people of different ages, or between people of different social status. The official form is simply used to show respect. In official contact, people do shake hands but this custom is regulated by certain rules of savoir vivre.

On the other hand, unofficial contact occurs among people of the same age, the same social status, and of course, people who know each other. Members of the same family will also use unofficial forms of address. In unofficial contact, people can shake hands, kiss cheeks, and give hugs.

T he Focus of this Lesson is What to Say When You Enter a South Af rican Restaurant

There is a wide variety of South African dishes and your job as a visitor is to try as many diﬀerent foods as possible! However, before you start eating, you have to get to the table! In this lesson, we will cover getting to the table in a restaurant.

When entering a restaurant in South Africa, they will greet you with Goeiemiddag, which means literally, "Good noon," or Goeienaand, which is, "Good evening."

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #1 - SOUTH AFRICAN RESTAURANT: HOW MANY PEOPLE? 3 In South Africa, when entering a restaurant, the waiter or waitress will ask the question, "How many people in your party?" Practicing this phrase will come in handy at some point. "How many people in your party?" in Afrikaans is Hoeveel mense? The ﬁrst word, hoeveel, means, "how much." Let's break this word down. Hoe-veel. Hoeveel. Hoeveel is followed by mense, which in Afrikaans, means, "people." So, let's hear the whole question once again. Hoeveel mense?

Now let's go over how to answer.

In Afrikaans, you would respond by giving the waiter or waitress the number of people you're with. So for example, let's say there are three of you. In Afrikaans, this would be drie mense. Let's break it down and say it one more time. Drie mense. Now we're going to review some numbers in Afrikaans in case your party happens to be bigger. The numbers one through ﬁve are een, twee, drie, vier, and vyf. Once again, that's een, twee, drie, vier, vyf. If there are four of you, you will simply say the number "four" plus persons. Vier mense.

If you are by yourself, the proper answer to the question would be Net ek. In English, this means, "Just me." Let's break these words down and see them one more time. Net ek. Net ek. The ﬁrst word, net, means, "only." The second word, ek, means, "I." The whole phrase once again is Net ek, or in English, "Only me."

In major cities like Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg, there is a lot of different choice for restaurants. You will find cuisines from all around the world, as long as ones that are local to South Africa. Make sure to try some of the game meats on offer like ostrich and springbok, and if you're by the sea then South African seafood is some of the best in the world!

South Africans like eating meat, and some of the most popular restaurant chains in the country are steak houses like Spurs and Steers. South Africans are particularly proud of Nando's, which specializes in peri-peri chicken and is now a global franchise, with restaurants across Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Peri-Peri is a spicy, Portuguese influenced sauce that was introduced to South Africa by the huge number of Portuguese immigrants that came to the country, especially from places like Mozambique. Nando's is great for a quick bite and you'll find it in all major town centers and shopping malls.

T he Focus of this Lesson is How to Make a Reservation at a South Af rican Restaurant

In the last lesson, we learned how to get a table at a restaurant, but listeners, please know that it can be diﬃcult to get a seat, especially on the weekends. The best thing to do, without a doubt, is to make a reservation for the time you want to go and eat.

In this lesson, we'll cover making a reservation at a restaurant.

Normally, if you make a phone call in order to make a reservation for the evening you would say, "I would like to make a reservation for this evening." Ek wil graag 'n tafel vir vanaand reserveer. Let's look at the components of this phrase. The words Ek wil graag mean, "I would like to." Let's break it down by syllable. Ek wil graag. The next two words are vir vanaand, which mean, "for tonight." Let's break these words down by syllable. Vir van-aand. Vir vanaand. The next word is 'n, or "a," which you learned previously, and then tafel, which means, "table." Tafel. Let's break it down. Ta-fel. Tafel. We follow this with the inﬁnitive, reserveer, meaning, "to book, to reserve." Reserveer. Let's break it down by syllable. Re-ser-veer.

Let's recap the phrase one more time.

Ek wil graag 'n tafel vir vanaand reserveer.

Normally, they'll ask you how many people are in the party and the time of the reservation.

"For how many people?" in Afrikaans is Vir hoeveel mense? Let's break it down by syllable. Vir hoe-veel men-se? Vir hoeveel mense?

Now let's imagine you are a party of two. In Afrikaans, you would say Vir twee, which in English means, "for two." Vir twee.

Finally, let's see how they will ask you the time of your reservation. Vir hoe laat? ("At what time?") This phrase literally means, "for how late." Vir hoe laat?

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #2 - SOUTH AFRICAN RESTAURANT: RESERVING A TABLE 4 Now, let's answer the question! Let's imagine you want to reserve a table at eight o'clock.

In South Africa, the daily eating routine usually consists of three meals, which are ontbyt ("breakfast"), middagete ("lunch"), and aandete ("supper"). The most important meal of the day is aandete ("supper") and it's usually eaten between 19:00 and 20:00. It most often consists of potatoes, vegetables, and some meat. Middagete ("lunch") is much lighter. For instance, a sandwich or a steak roll would be a popular choice.

Cafés and pubs are open until 01:00 on weekdays and 04:00 on weekends, whereas restaurants tend to stay open until late evening or sometimes until the last customer. In the more exclusive restaurants, customers usually dress up elegantly.

T he Focus of this Lesson is Ordering at a Restaurant

Finally, you're at the table and at your seat. Now it's time to order!

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #3 - SOUTH AFRICAN RESTAURANT: ATTRACTING THE ATTENTION OF YOUR WAITER 3 In this lesson, we'll cover how to ask for a menu and then order your food and drinks.

Normally, to get the waiter's attention, you can simply ask, Verskoon my, which is a polite way to say, "Excuse me," when the waiter is passing by. Then you can ask for a menu by saying, Mag ek die spyskaart sien? which is, "May I see the menu?"

Let's see the entire sentence. Mag ek die spyskaart zien?

Let's look at the components of this phrase. The ﬁrst word, mag, means, "may." The component spyskaart means, "menu." Let's break it down by syllable. Spys- kaart. The last word in our phrase is sien, which stands for "to see." To recap, let's repeat the whole sentence one more time. Verskoon my, mag ek die spyskaart sien? or "Excuse me, may I see the menu?"

Once you have looked at the menu, you can ﬁnally call the waiter to order.

South African menus don't always follow a standard pattern. However, you will usually ﬁnd the following components: voorgereg or "appetizers," sop, which is your "soup," hoofgereg, meaning, "main entrées," drankies, ("drinks"), and of course there is always nagereg, your "desserts."

In South Africa, after the waiter shows you to your table, he or she will usually ask for your drink. Then, you can take a look at the menu, which is usually found on the table. When you look ready to order, the waiter may ask you, Het u gekies? This literary means, "Have you chosen?" In this context, het means, "have." And the last word, gekies, is a form of the verb kies and means, "to choose." Let's break it down. Ge-kies. Let's see it one more time. gekies.

If you're not sure what to order, you can always ask the staﬀ for recommendations. The appropriate question in such a situation would be Wat beveel u aan? This means, "What do you recommend, sir?" Let's look at this phrase. Wat stands for "what," then we have u, meaning "you." We have to use the polite form here because the waiter is not our friend and so we cannot use the informal jy. The two words left are beveel and aan, they together make one verb, aanbeveel that stands for "to recommend." Let's break the verb down. aan-be-veel and aanbeveel. So let's see the whole phrase one more time. Wat beveel u aan? ("What do you recommend, sir?")

If the waiter is female, you don't need to change anything. The word u, which means, "you," can be used for both male and female.

When you order in South Africa, you usually say, asseblief, which if you remember from a previous lesson means, "please," before the name of the dish you want to order.

Now let's go and see what can be usually found on the menu in South African restaurants.

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #3 - SOUTH AFRICAN RESTAURANT: ATTRACTING THE ATTENTION OF YOUR WAITER 4 Bobotie (Bo-bo-tie) - A Cape Malay dish made with minced meat, raisins, • and chutney. • Steak roll (Steak-roll) - A smaller dish, this is a steak in a roll of bread.

Kreef (Kr-eef) - Crayﬁsh is very popular in South Africa and widely available. • It can be served as a starter, in salads, or as part of a main dish.

Ribbes (Rib-bes) - A rack of pork ribs served with delicious BBQ sauce or • glaze.

Boerewors (Boe-re-wors) - A traditional farmers' sausage, usually coiled, and • made from beef and lamb.

Let's break down these words and see them one more time.

Now let's see some beverages South Africans have with their dinner.

• wyn (wyn - "wine") • water (Wa-ter - "water") • bier (Bier - "beer")

Let's break down these words and see them once again

Let's imagine you want to order "steak" and "water". You should say Een steak en een water asseblief. You simply have to say the amount followed by the name of the dish, your drink, and end with asseblief ("please").

GRAMMAR

T he Focus of this Lesson is Asking f or the Bill at a Restaurant

In the last lesson, we saw how to order at the restaurant, how to get the waiter's attention, and then how to order your meal and beverages.

Once you have the beverages and you ﬁnally have all the entrées you have ordered, you can start to enjoy the mouth-watering meal.

Normally, if the waiter sees that you have ﬁnished, he/she will come to your table and kindly ask, Wil u nog iets anders he? ("Would you like anything else?") Let's look at the sentence and break it down. The ﬁrst component wil, is the verb "want." Wil. Next, we have u, which means, "you." The following component, nog, means, "yet." Nog. Iets anders means, "anything else." Let's break it down by syllable. Iets an-ders. Iets anders. To recap, the whole phrase is Wil u nog iets anders?

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #4 - SOUTH AFRICAN RESTAURANT: GETTING THE BILL 3 If you are pleased with your meal and you are ready to leave, you should reply Nee, dankie. Die rekening asseblief. ("No, thank you. The check please.") This is a long response; let's break it down. First, we have Nee, dankie, meaning, "No, thank you." Nee, dankie. We follow this with die rekening, meaning, "the check." Let's break it down by syllable. Re-ke-ning. Rekening. Finally, we have asseblief, which we have introduced in an earlier lesson and means, "please."

All together it is Nee, dankie. Die rekening asseblief.

And there you have it!

Quick T ip #1

In the majority of restaurants in South Africa, you can pay with both debit or credit card, or cash as well. If there is a restaurant where you have to pay cash only, they will let you know up front.

Quick T ip #2

The tips in South Africa are very rarely included in the price, so it is courtesy and good manners to give tips in restaurants, pubs, and at some cafés. About ten percent to twelve percent would be appropriate.

When it's time to pay for your bill and the waiter comes to take money for it, don't say, "Thank you," because they will assume they can keep the change. So even if your dinner was three hundred rand and you paid with four hundred rand, if you say, "Thank you," you won't see the change. Just let them take the money and they will bring the change. Then leave as much tip as you want.

We introduced the phrase, Wil u nog iets anders? ("Would you like anything else?") As we explained above, you will be asked this at the end of the meal. While enjoying your dinner the waiter could come up to you and ask, Is alles reg? This can be translated as, "Is everything okay?" You can simply reply, Alles is reg, dankie.

GRAMMAR

T he Focus of this Lesson is How to Ask if Something is Nearby

In the previous lessons, we covered how to ask to get something. In this lesson, we'll introduce another useful phrase for asking for the place where you can ﬁnd what you are looking for. Our phrase is "Where is the closest place?" First, we need a place. Let's use the word apteek, which means, "pharmacy," or "drug store." Let's break it down by syllable. Ap-teek. Now, let's see it once again. Ap- teek.

In Afrikaans, "Where is the closest pharmacy?" is Waar is die naaste Apteek? Waar is die naaste apteek?

Let's break it down by syllable. Waar is die naa-ste ap-teek? Now let's see it once again.

Waar is die naaste apteek?

The ﬁrst word, waar, means, "Where." Waar. This is followed by is, which means, "is." So far, we have Waar is. Next, we have naaste, which is, "the closest." Let's see it once again. Naaste. Let's break it down by syllable and see it one more time. Naa-ste. Finally, we have apteek ("pharmacy"). So the whole phrase is Waar is die naaste apteek? ("Where is the closest pharmacy?")

To ask for a diﬀerent place, we can just replace the word apteek with any other word and the phrase works just ﬁne. Let's imagine you need to withdraw some money from your bank account. In Afrikaans, "Where is the closest ATM?" is Waar is die naaste OTM?

In this phrase we had to change the place you're looking for, in this case an "ATM" (OTM).

You can spot South African pharmacies easily because the sign is a snake drinking from a bowl. Pharmacists are usually decent diagnosticians and always speak excellent English. They can help you with many medical problems and can be your ﬁrst line of defense if you're feeling sick in South Africa. Usually in every town, there should be at least one pharmacy open twenty-four hours. Look in local newspapers or ask at your hotel for information about such pharmacies.

Quick T ip #2

Getting cash from ATMs in South Africa is more popular than any other method of exchanging money. In most cases, you pay your usual bank fee rather than a commission, though this may vary depending on your bank's policy.

In larger shopping malls like the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, you will ﬁnd exchange places like Bidvest and American Express. The rate here is often good, but they will charge you a small commission. Remember to take your passport, as in South Africa they will need to make a photocopy of your entry stamp into the country.

GRAMMAR

T he Focus of this Lesson is Asking Someone to Take a Picture f or You

In this lesson, we will introduce a phrase that will surely come in handy for capturing your memories on ﬁlm or memory card. South Africa is full of beautiful scenery. Obviously, you will take many pictures of landscapes and monuments. However, I have no doubt that some moments you'll want to be in the picture or have everyone in your party in the picture. Therefore, there are times when the question, "Can you take my/our picture?" will be invaluable.

In Afrikaans, "Can you take our picture, sir?" is Kan u van ons 'n foto neem meneer? Let's break it down by syllable. Kan u van ons 'n fo-to neem me-neer? Now let's see it once again. Kan u van ons 'n foto neem meneer? We start with Kan u, meaning, "can you," in the formal way of speech. Then we have the personal pronoun ons, or "us." Ons. Next, we have 'n foto neem, which means, "to take a picture." Let's break down these words and see them one more time. 'n Foto neem. 'n Foto neem. The last component is meneer, which you know already from previously is "sir," or "Mr." All together we have, "Can you take our picture, sir?" is Kan u van ons 'n foto neem meneer?

If you are on your own, and you want to ask, "Can you take my picture?" in Afrikaans, you just need to replace ons with my; so you would have, Kan u van my 'n foto neem? Let's break it down by syllable. Kan u van my 'n fo-to neem? Now let's see it once again. Kan u van my 'n foto neem?

If you want to ask a woman to take your picture, you just need to replace meneer with mevrou. "Can you take my picture, ma'am?" will be in Afrikaans, Kan u van my 'n foto neem mevrou?

What if you bump into a young person and you don't need to use the formal level of speech? It's very easy because the only element that changes is the form of the verb. There's also no meneer or mevrou. So kan u changes into kan jy. So once again, that's kan jy. So all together, we will have Kan jy van my 'n foto neem? ("Can you take my picture?") Kan jy van my 'n foto neem?

T he Focus of this Lesson is Asking f or Permission to Take Pictures

How many times have you been on one of your trips with your camera, trying to immortalize particular moments? In South Africa, it can happen so often that not only a landscape can arouse your curiosity, but also many people! That's why today we will cover some phrases related to the one we saw in the previous lesson, "Can you take my picture, sir?" (Kan u van my 'n foto neem meneer?)

Now you would like to ask for permission, "Can I take your picture, ma'am?" In Afrikaans, this is Mag ek van u 'n foto neem mevrou? Let's have a look at the components. We have mag ek, which means, "May I." Let's break it down and see it

The next component is 'n foto neem, which means, "to take a picture," which we have already seen in the previous lesson. 'n Foto neem. The question ends with mevrou ("ma'am"). So to recap here, we have Mag ek van u 'n foto neem mevrou?

If we would like to take a picture of a man, the question would be as follows: Mag ek van u 'n foto neem meneer? or "Can I take your picture, sir?" Let's break it down by syllable and see the entire question once again. Mag ek van u een fo-to neem me-neer? Mag ek van u 'n foto neem meneer?

If you are able to socialize immediately with South Africans, or even if you simply meet some young people, you can use the informal phrase, Mag ek 'n foto van julle neem? ("Can I take your picture?") In this sentence, we exchanged mevrou or meneer for julle. Julle is the personal pronoun meaning "you," as in a group of people. The rest of the sentence stays the same. Mag ek 'n foto van julle neem?

If you would like to take a picture of just one person using informal style, you would simply say, Mag ek 'n foto van jou neem? Mag ek 'n foto van jou neem? ("Can I take your picture?") In this question, we exchanged julle for jou. Jou refers to one person only and means, "you." Let's see the whole sentence once again. Mag ek 'n foto van jou neem? ("Can I take your picture?")

What if you are in a museum, an art gallery, or a shop and you want to try to ask, "Can I take pictures here?" In Afrikaans, this is Mag ek hier foto's neem? Mag ek hier foto's neem? We start the question with mag ek, meaning, "May I." Let's break down these words and see them one more time. Mag ek. Mag ek. Hier stands for, "here." Hier. We ﬁnish the question with foto's neem, which means, "to take pictures." Foto's is the plural of foto, which is "photo." Let's break down these words and see them one more time.

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #9 - WRITE IT DOWN IN AFRIKAANS, PLEASE. 3 This is followed by dit, which is, "it." Next up in our phrase, is the verb opskryf, which means, "to write down." Let's break this verb down by syllable and see it one more time. Op-skryf. Opskryf. We end the sentence with "please" (asseblief). So to recap here, we have Kan u dit opskryf asseblief? Literally, this means, "Please write it down."

Next, we have another way to express the same meaning. Kan u dit vir my opskryf asseblief? ("Please write that down for me.") Let's break it down by syllable. Kan u dit vir my op-skryf as-se-blief? Now let's see it once again. Kan u dit vir my opskryf asseblief? The only thing that changes in this sentence is adding vir my, which can be literally translated as, "for me." Vir my. So we have Kan u dit vir my opskryf asseblief? ("Please write it down for me.")

Once you have the written words, you may find that you have no idea how to pronounce them. In Afrikaans, "How do you pronounce this?" is Hoe spreek jy dit uit? You can say this while pointing at the word. Let's break it down by syllable. Hoe spreek jy dit uit? Now let's see it one more time. Hoe spreek jy dit uit? The first word hoe, means, "how." Let's repeat this word. Hoe and hoe. Then we find the two words, spreek and uit. They both make the complete verb Uitspreek, which is, "to pronounce." Next, we have jy, meaning, "you," and finally, we have dit, meaning, "this." To recap, the whole question is Hoe spreek jy dit uit?

If you would like someone to write something down for you but you don't have a piece of paper or a pen, you can ask, "Do you have a pen and a paper, sir?" In Afrikaans, it is het u pen en papier meneer? Let's break it down by syllable. het u pen en pa-pier me-neer? Now let's see it once again. Het u pen en papier meneer? The ﬁrst two words, het u are familiar to you and mean, "Do you have." Het u. Next, we have pen, meaning, "pen." Pen. Then we have en, which is, "and." En. Next, we have papier ("paper"). Pa-pier. Papier. Finally, we have meneer, which you already know is, "sir." Let's now look at the whole sentence once again. Het u pen en papier meneer?

If you want to ask a lady if she has a pen and a paper, remember to substitute meneer with mevrou. So the question, "Do you have a pen and a paper, ma'am?" would be Het u pen en papier mevrou?

Asking someone to write something down for you can be very helpful...if it is in your own language! So remember that you should always bring a pen and paper yourself so that you can make the most of the above situations.

T he Focus of this Lesson is Asking How to Read Something in Af rikaans

In the previous lesson, we introduced you to some phrases you can use when in South Africa and this is the last lesson of the series we dedicated to learning from people around you. In this lesson, we are going to cover, "How do you read this?"

In Afrikaans, "How do you read this?" is Hoe lees jy dit? Hoe lees jy dit? Let's break it down by syllable. Hoe lees jy dit? Now let's hear it once again. Hoe lees jy dit? The ﬁrst word hoe, means, "how." Hoe. Next, we have lees, which in English means, "to read." Lees. Finally, we have jy and dit, meaning, "you" and "this." So all together, we have Hoe lees jy dit? Hoe lees jy dit?

If you are pointing at something, probably at a book, a newspaper, or simply a street sign, you might also like to ask, "How do you pronounce this?" Hoe spreek jy dit uit? Hoe spreek jy dit uit? This sentence is almost identical to the one we just introduced. The only diﬀerence is that we exchanged lees or "reads" for uitspreek ("pronounces"). So let's listen to the whole sentence once again. Hoe spreek jy dit

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #10 - HOW DO YOU READ THIS IN AFRIKAANS? 3 uit? Hoe spreek jy dit uit?

After you have learned the reading and the pronunciation, you will probably want to know about the meaning. So why don't you try to ask, Wat beteken dit? Wat beteken dit? ("What does it mean?") Let's break it down by syllable. Wat be-te-ken dit? Here it is once again. Wat beteken dit? The ﬁrst word wat, means, "what." Wat. Next, we have beteken, which in English means, "means." Let's break it down by syllable. Be-te-ken. Beteken. The last component, dit, means, "it," and can be replaced by dit ("this") or dat ("that"). To recap, let's repeat the whole sentence. Wat beteken dit? Wat beteken dit? ("What does it mean?")

In South Africa, when you get to a hotel and you want to check in, you can use two

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #11 - HOTEL: PART 1 - CHECKING INTO YOUR SOUTH AFRICAN HOTEL 4 possible phrases. If you have already booked the room then you want to say, "I have a reservation." In Afrikaans, it is Ek het 'n kamer gereserveer. Let's break it down by syllable. Ek het 'n ka-mer ge-re-ser-veer. Now let's see it again. Ek het 'n kamer gereserveer. The ﬁrst words, Ek het, mean, "I have." It comes from the inﬁnitive form hê ("to have"). Next, we have 'n kamer, which means, "a room." Let's break it down by syllable. 'n ka-mer. 'n kamer. Finally, we have gereserveer, which stands for, "made a reservation." It comes from the Afrikaans verb reserveer. So all together, we have Ek het 'n kamer gereserveer. This means, "I have a reservation for a room."

If you have not booked the room yet, the phrase, "I would like to reserve a room," in Afrikaans, is Ek wil graag 'n kamer reserveer. Let's break it down by syllable and see it once again. Ek wil graag 'n ka-mer re-ser-veer. Ek wil graag 'n kamer reserveer. The ﬁrst part of the sentence we already know very well. Ek wil graag ("I would like"). Then, we have kamer ("room"). Let's break down this word and see it one more time. Ka-mer. Kamer. The last component is a verb, reserveer, which is, "to make a reservation." So the whole phrase is, Ek wil graag 'n kamer reserveer.

Let's see what kind of rooms you could ask for.

1. "Single room" (Eenpersoonskamer, Een-per-soons-ka-mer)

2. "Double room" (tweepersoonskamer, twee-per-soons-ka-mer)

3. "Room with a bathroom" (kamer met badkamer, ka-mer met bad-ka-mer)

Afterward, they will most likely ask you, "Your name, please, sir?" In Afrikaans, this is Op watter naam meneer? Let's break it down by syllable and see it one more time. Op wat-ter naam me-neer? Op watter naam meneer? The ﬁrst two words, op watter, mean, "on what." The next component, naam, stands for, "name." We end the sentence with a word we know very well, meneer ("sir"). Let's see it one more time. Op watter naam meneer?

You might also be asked, "Can you spell it, sir?" In Afrikaans, this is Kan u u naam spel meneer? Let's break it down by syllable and see it one more time. Kan u u naam spel me-neer? Kan u u naam spel meneer? The ﬁrst part of the question, Kan u... meneer ("can you, sir"), we already know very well. Kan u... meneer. Then, we have u naam. This means, "your name." And ﬁnally, we have spel ("to spell"). Spel. So all together, the question is, Kan u u naam spel meneer? This literally means, "Can you spell your name, sir?"

A woman will be asked to spell her name as follows. Kan u u naam spel mevrou? ("Can you spell your name, ma'am?")

Hoeve logies, which are "agritouristic accommodations" like farms, cottages, and country houses, are spread all over South Africa. They are usually simply furnished and cheaper than regular hotels. There you can stay and taste the local food; you can go ﬁshing, horseback riding, cycling, and much more. At some farms, you will be able to rent a bike or a boat. There are many activities for people who decide to spend their vacation close to nature and far away from the busy cities.

In this lesson, we will introduce you to some more useful phrases for hotels and the like. The ﬁrst phrase is, "What time is the check out?" In Afrikaans, this is Hoe laat moet ek uitteken? Let's break it down by syllable. Hoe laat moet ek uit-te-ken? Hoe laat moet ek uitteken? Let's have a look at the components of this phrase. Hoe laat means, "at what time." Hoe laat. Then we have moet and ek, which in Afrikaans means, "must" and "I." The last word is uitteken, which is, "to check out." Let's break down this verb by syllable and see it one more time. Uit-te-ken. uitteken. So all together the phrase is, Hoe laat moet ek uitteken? ("What time must I check out?")

Let's look at some words you might need while staying in a hotel because there will be times when you need more of certain things. Here are a few more words that might come in handy.

T he Focus of this Lesson is Exchanging Currency in South Af rica

Exchanging money in South Africa is very convenient. You can exchange money at airports or banks, or make a withdrawal from an ATM. The rates applied when withdrawing money from an ATM are likely to be quite good. However, when using an ATM it is advisable to make one large withdrawal as both the local bank and your home bank may charge you certain fees. So first things first, let's find a location that will exchange money.

First, let's review some previous phrases and patterns we've already covered.

In Afrikaans, "Where is the closest ATM?" is Waar is die naaste OTM? Let's break it down by syllable. Waar is die naa-ste O-T-M? Let's break this down. Waar, as you may already know, is "where." Waar. Then we have is die, which is, "is the." Followed by naaste, or "closest." Naa-ste. Naaste. And ﬁnally, "ATM" is OTM. OTM. Now let's see it once again. Waar is die naaste OTM?

Now to ask for a bank, we can just replace the word for ATM with the word for bank and the phrase works just ﬁne. "Where is the closest bank?" is Waar is die naaste bank? Waar is die naaste bank? Let's break it down by syllable. Waar is die naa-ste

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #13 - SOUTH AFRICAN FOREIGN EXCHANGE 3 bank? Waar is die naaste bank? The only thing that changes is the place you're looking for. All together, we have Waar is die naaste bank? ("Where is the closest bank?")

For times when there is neither a bank nor an ATM, you can ask, "Where can I exchange money?" In Afrikaans, this is Waar kan ek geld wissel? Let's break it down by syllable. Waar kan ek geld wis-sel? Now let's see it one more time. Waar kan ek geld wissel? The ﬁrst word, waar, as you already know, means, "where." Waar. Then we have kan ek, which in English, is "can I." kan ek. Let's break it down by syllable. Kan ek. Kan ek. The next word is geld, which stands for "money." And we end the phrase with the verb wissel, which is "to exchange." Let's break it down and see it once again. Wis-sel. Wissel. All together, we have Waar kan ek geld wissel?

Exchanging currency is pretty straightforward. One extremely useful phrase is "Smaller denominations, please." It's usually beneﬁcial to have smaller bills on you for paying bus fares, taxi fares, and so on.

In Afrikaans, "Smaller denominations, please" is kleingeld asseblief. Let's break it down by syllable. Kleingeld asseblief. Now let's see it one more time. Kleingeld asseblief. First, we have kleingeld meaning, "small change." Let's break it down by syllable and see it again. Klein-geld. Kleingeld. The last word we already know well, asseblief ("please"). All together, once again, Kleingeld asseblief ("Smaller denominations, please.")

Finally, you can also use the phrase, "Can you break this for me, sir?" to indicate you would like smaller bills. In Afrikaans, "Can you break this for me, sir?" is Kan u wissel meneer? Let's break it down by syllable. Kan u wis-sel me-neer? Kan u wissel meneer? We start the phrase with Kan u, which is, "can you." Kan u. Next, we have wissel meaning, "to change" or "to break." Let's break it down by syllable and see it one more time. Wis-sel. Wissel. The last component is meneer, which in english, is "sir." All together, we have Kan u wissel meneer? ("Can you break this for me, sir?")

They can either be separate small offices, or they can be a part of, for example, a tourist office where you will find just a little desk. Look for a blue/red sign with Exchange on it and you will have found the place. Also, usually next to the Exchange entrance, there will be a huge board displaying all the currencies offered by the exchange office and their current rates. This way you don't have to go in and ask what the current rates are. Exchange offices do charge commission, but coming from abroad this will still probably work out cheaper than what your bank

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #14 - ADMISSIONS - ONE PLEASE IN SOUTH AFRICA 3 "ticket" is kaartjie.

In Afrikaans, "One ticket, please" is Een kaartjie asseblief. The ﬁrst words are een kaartjie, and mean, "a ticket." Then we end with asseblief, meaning "please." So all together, we have Een kaartjie asseblief. ("One ticket, please.")

drie "three"

vier "four"

vyf "ﬁve"

ses "six"

sewe "seven"

agt "eight"

nege "nine"

tien "ten"

"Three tickets, please," in Afrikaans, is Drie kaartjies asseblief. We have the number drie ("three"). Drie. Next, we have kaartjies, which is the nominative plural for "ticket." The last word is asseblief ("please"). To recap here, we have Drie kaartjies asseblief. ("Three tickets, please.")

Very often, you may be asked to show your ticket not only at the entrance, so keep these admissions with you until you leave the place you are visiting. They will ask you, kaartjies asseblief. This means, "Tickets, please." We start the phrase with kaartjie ("tickets"). And then, asseblief ("please"). kaartjies asseblief.

Let's now cover diﬀerent types of tickets very quickly.

GRAMMAR

T he Focus of this Lesson is Asking f or a Guidebook Written in a Particular Language

In this lesson, we'll introduce you to a crucial phrase for travelers who are interested in learning more about the tourist attractions they are going to visit. Learning about the history and the cultural signiﬁcance of places you visit can be just as rewarding as seeing them. In this lesson, we'll cover "Do you have a guide in English?"

In Afrikaans, "Do you have a guide in English, sir?" is Het u 'n gids in Engels meneer? The ﬁrst two words, Het u, mean, "Do you have." Next, we have 'n gids, meaning, "a guide." Let's look at the last component of the phrase, in Engels ("in English"). To recap, we have Het u 'n gids in Engels meneer? ("Do you have a guide in English, sir?")

If you would like to say, "Do you have a guide in English, ma'am?" you only have to exchange meneer for mevrou. So, the question would be Het u 'n gids in Engels mevrou? ("Do you have a guide in English, ma'am?")

Of course, if you want to practice Afrikaans and buy a Afrikaans guide, you can simply accomplish this by asking, Het u 'n gids in Afrikaans meneer? ("Do you have a guide in Afrikaans, sir?") In this sentence, we simply replaced Engels with Afrikaans.

Now, let's try to ask for a French guide. In Afrikaans, "Do you have a guide in French, ma'am?") is Het u 'n gids in Frans mevrou? The only thing that changes is the language in which the guide is written. In this case, it's in Frans, which is "in French."

It's not unlikely for information guides to be in Japanese because a large number of Japanese tourists visit South Africa every year.

We have already covered how to order them, but not how to eat them! However, that is not always so straightforward. In this lesson, we will learn how to ask, "How do you eat this?"

In Afrikaans, "How do you eat this?" is Hoe eet jy dit? The ﬁrst word, hoe, means, "how." Then we have eet, meaning, "eat". This is followed by jy ("you"). We ﬁnish the question with dit, which stands for "this." To recap here, we have Hoe eet jy dit?

Now, we will talk about something that may come in handy for everyone who doesn't like hot dishes. South African cuisine is not known for being particularly spicy, but from time to time, you might ﬁnd dishes that are actually very hot. The question "Is this hot?" in Afrikaans is, Is dit warm? The words, is dit, mean, "is this." Next, we have warm, which in English is, "hot, spicy." All together, we have Is dit warm? ("Is this hot?")

South Africa has a bad reputation for crime, particularly in large cities like Johannesburg and the surrounding townships. While it's important to remain vigilant at all times, it's also worth bearing in mind that the overwhelming majority of crime in the country is contained between gangs very far from tourist areas. Roughly 10 million people visit South Africa on holiday every year and nearly all of these visits are completely trouble free. Since the FIFA World Cup in 2010, a real effort has been made by the South African police to fight crime, and as a result, areas like Cape Town are safer than ever. Always ask first at your hotel, and they will advise you about how to stay safe.

T he Focus of this Lesson is How to Ask f or Medicine at a Pharmacy

Once you are in the pharmacy, you will need to explain how you feel in order for the pharmacist to give you the right medicines. In this lesson, we will work on explaining symptoms so you can get the proper treatment and any medicine you may need.

Let's try to make a list of all the possible things you might need.

In Afrikaans, "cold medicine" is Medisyne vir verkoue. Let's break it down by syllable and see it one more time. Me-di-sy-ne vir ver-kou-e. Medisyne vir verkoue. Medisyne means, "medicine." Medisyne. This is followed by vir verkoue, meaning, "for a cold." Vir verkoue.

"Cold medicine, please" in Afrikaans is Een medisyne vir verkoue asseblief. Let's

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #18 - EXPLAINING SYMPTOMS IN AFRIKAANS 3 break it down by syllable. Een me-di-sy-ne vir ver-kou-e as-se-blief. Een medisyne vir verkoue asseblief. We start the phrase with een medisyne, meaning "a medicine." Next, we have vir verkoue, meaning "for a cold." Vir verkoue. Finally, we have asseblief ("please"). Asseblief. So all together, we have Een medisyne vir verkoue asseblief. This literally means, "A medicine against a cold, please."

Let's see how to explain your symptoms.

In Afrikaans, "I have a headache" is Ek het hoofpyn. Let's break it down by syllable. Ek het hoof-pyn. Ek het hoofpyn. The ﬁrst words, Ek het, mean, "I have." Ek het. Next, we have hoofpyn, which means, "headache." So all together, we have Ek het hoofpyn. Literally, it means, "I have a head pain," which we will of course translate as "I have a headache."

A diﬀerent way to say you are in pain, for example in your stomach, is Ek het maagpyn. Let's break it down by syllable. Ek het maag-pyn. Ek het maagpyn. The ﬁrst words, Ek het, is "I have." Ek het. Next, we have maagpyn, which means, "stomachache." So all together, we have Ek het maagpyn. Literally, it means, "I have stomach pain," which we will of course translate as, "I have a stomachache."

T he Focus of this Lesson is Renting a Vehicle

In this lesson, we will introduce you to a phrase that will help you get to the places you need to be! In some places, trains and subways are the way to travel, but it's also very useful to know how to rent a car, scooter, or motorbike.

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #19 - RENTING A SOUTH AFRICAN CAR 3 In Afrikaans, "I would like to rent a car" is Ek wil graag 'n kar huur. Let's break it down by syllable. Ek wil graag 'n kar huur. Now let's see it once again. Ek wil graag 'n kar huur. The ﬁrst words, Ek wil graag, or "I would like to," you already know very well. Ek wil graag. Next, we have 'n kar, which in English, is "a car." Kar. Kar. To recap here, we have so far, Ek wil graag 'n kar ("I would like a car"). This is ended by huur ("to rent"). huur. Let's break it down by syllable and see it once again. Huur. All together, we have. Ek wil graag 'n kar huur. ("I would like to rent a car.")

Now we'll look at the words for other vehicles to open up your transportation options. In Afrikaans, the word for "scooter" is scooter. The phrase, "I would like to rent a scooter," is Ek wil graag 'n scooter huur.

"Motorbike" in Afrikaans is motorﬁets. The phrase, "I would like to rent a motorbike," is Ek wil graag 'n motorﬁets huur.

If you're renting something, it's also important to know when you must return it! Therefore, we're giving you a phrase you can use to make sure you return it on time.

In Afrikaans, "When must I return the car?" is Wanneer moet ek die kar terugbring? Let's break it down by syllable. Wan-neer moet ek die kar te-rug-bring? Wanneer moet ek die kar terugbring? The ﬁrst word, wanneer, means, "when." Wanneer. Next, we have moet ek, which in English, is "must I." moet ek. Then we have die kar, meaning "the car." die kar. Let's break it down by syllable and see it one more time. De au-to. die kar. We ﬁnish the sentence with the verb terugbring ("to bring back, to return"). terugbring. All together, we have Wanneer moet ek die kar terugbring? ("When must I return the car?")

If you would like to ask the same question but about a scooter or a motorbike, you simply have to exchange kar ("car") for the desired means of transportation. For example, "When must I return the motorbike?" will be in Afrikaans, Wanneer moet ek die motorfiets terugbring? "Motorbike" is motorfiets. Let's break that down. Mo- tor-fiets. Motorfiets. Wanneer moet ek die motorfiets terugbring?

Finally, you may want to return it at a diﬀerent location. In Afrikaans, "Can I return the car at... location?" is Kan ek die kar afgee in..? Let's imagine you want to return your car in Johannesburg. We should have Kan ek die kar afgee in Johannesburg? Let's break it down by syllable. Kan ek die kar af-gee in Jo-hann-es-burg? Now let's see it once again. Kan ek die kar afgee in Johannesburg? The ﬁrst two words of the sentence, Kan ek, mean, "can I." Kan ek. Then we have die kar ("the car"), which we have just seen. die kar. This is followed by afgee, meaning, "to give back." afgee. Finally, we have the location, which in our case is in Johannesburg ("in Johannesburg"). In Johannesburg. All together, we have Kan ek die kar afgee in Johannesburg? ("Can I return the car in Johannesburg?")

Like all developing countries, public transport is improving but still limited. Unless you are travelling as part of a tour group, a car is almost essential to get around South Africa and get the most out of your stay. In Cape Town and Johannesburg there are now good public transport options, such as the MyCiti buses and the Gautrain, which will take you from O.R. Tambo Intl Airport as far as Pretoria. For longer distances, the most popular way to get around the country is to ﬂy. Low cost airlines like Mango and Kulula, as well as traditional carriers like South African Airlines and British Airways have regular services between all major cities in the country. The ﬂight from Cape Town to Johannesburg takes roughly 2 hours.

Whether or not the weather cooperates is an important issue on which many plans are made and canceled. It can happen sometimes that you are planning a long trip and you want to be sure that your walks and your tours around South African cities will be safe and dry! In this lesson, we'll cover a phrase that will help you ﬁnalize your plans if they depend on the weather.

In Afrikaans, "What will the weather be like tomorrow?" is Hoe sal die weer wees môre? Let's break it down by syllable. Hoe sal die weer wees mô-re? Now let's see it once again. Hoe sal die weer wees môre? The ﬁrst two words, hoe sal, mean, "how will," hoe sal. Let's see these words one more time. Hoe sal. Then we have die weer, which stands for "the weather." Die weer. This is followed by wees, which means, "be." Let's break it down by syllable and see it once again. We-es. Wees. We end the sentence with the word môre, which means, "tomorrow" in English. Môre. Let's break it down by syllable and see it once again. Mô-re. Môre. All

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #20 - WEATHER IN SOUTH AFRICA 4 together, we have Hoe sal die weer wees môre? ("What will the weather be like tomorrow?")

In case you're somewhere where the weather can change very quickly, you can ask, "What will the weather be like today?" Hoe sal die weer wees vandag? Let's break it down by syllable. Hoe sal die weer wees van-dag? Now let's see it once again. Hoe sal die weer wees vandag? As you can see, we have the same pattern of the phrase we have previously seen. Hoe sal die weer wees vandag? Means, "What will the weather be like today?" We only put vandag, meaning, "today," in place of môre ("tomorrow"). Let's break down this word and see it one more time. Van-dag. Vandag. All together, we have Hoe sal die weer wees vandag? Hoe sal die weer wees vandag? ("What will the weather be like today?")

Let's go over the possible answers. In Afrikaans, "It will rain" is Dit gaan reën. Let's break it down by syllable. Dit gaan re-ën. Now let's see it one more time. Dit gaan reën. We start the sentence with Dit gaan, which literarily means, "It goes." Dit gaan. We end the sentence with the type of weather, in this case "rain" (reën). Let's break it down by syllable and see it one more time. Re-ën. Reën. So all together, it's Dit gaan reën ("It will rain").

"It will snow" is Dit gaan sneeu. Let's break "snow" down. Sneeu. Dit gaan sneeu.

"It will be sunny" is Dit sal sonnig wees. Let's break it down by syllable. Dit sal sonnig wees. Now let's see it one more time. Dit sal sonnig wees. We again have Dit sal, or "it will," sonnig ("sunny"), and ﬁnally wees, which is "be" in English. Notice that in Afrikaans the word order is slightly diﬀerent to in English, and we literally say "It will sunny be." Dit sal sonnig wees.

"It will be windy" is Dit sal winderig wees. Let's break it down by syllable. Dit sal winderig wees. Dit sal winderig wees. The ﬁrst words, Dit sal, mean, "it will." Dit sal. This is followed by winderig ("windy"). Winderig. Let's break it down by syllable and see it one more time. Win-derig. Winderig. Finally, we add the word for "be," which in Afrikaans is wees. Wees.

No matter where you are, you will always have some place to be! In this lesson, we'll look at the question that will give you the tools to ask how much time you have left to get there. We'll also give you the tools to understand the answer!

In Afrikaans, "What time is it?" is Hoe laat is dit? Let's break it down by syllable. Hoe laat is Dit? Hoe laat is dit? The ﬁrst word, hoe, means, "how."

Let's go over hours here. "Hour" in Afrikaans is uur. To say A.M. and P.M. in Afrikaans we say, voormiddag and namiddag after the hour when it's not really clear which time of day we are talking about.

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #21 - WHAT TIME IS IT IN SOUTH AFRICA? 5 Let's cover how to answer the question Hoe laat is dit? in Afrikaans now! First, you say, dit is..., or "it is," and then the time. Let's see it one more time, dit is... Let's try with 6:00 P.M. "It's 6:00 P.M." in Afrikaans is Dit is sesuur namiddag. Let's break it down by syllable. dit is sesuur namiddag. Dit is sesuur namiddag. The ﬁrst words, dit is, mean, "it is." Then you have the time and time of day, which is sesuur namiddag ("6:00 P.M."). sesuur namiddag. All together, we have Dit is sesuur namiddag.

Let's now try to say, "It's 6:00 A.M." In Afrikaans, this would be Dit is sesuur voormiddag. We again have, dit is ("it is") and then the time, sesuur voormiddag.

Let's go over minutes now. The word "minutes" in Afrikaans is minute. Mi-nu-te. Minute. It's the plural of minuut ("minute"). In Afrikaans, you say the number for "minutes" ﬁrst, followed by the number of "hours." As we mentioned before, the hours are always expressed by the cardinal numbers, minutes will also be expressed by the cardinal numbers. The cardinal numbers will be een ("one"), twee ("two"), drie ("three"), vier ("four"), and so on, so these are the numbers we introduced in the lesson about counting.

Let's have a look at some examples. For example, you want to say, "It's 3:20 P.M." In Afrikaans "It's 3:20 P.M." is Dit is twintig oor drie namiddag. First, we have dit is ("is"). Then we have the number for minutes, twintig ("00.20"). Let's say it one more time. Twintig. The minutes are followed by the word for 'past' in Afrikaans. Oor. Oor. Then we have the hours, drie ("three"). Drie. So all together we have Dit is twintig oor drie namiddag.

Now let's try to say "It's 9:10 AM." In Afrikaans this would be Dit is tien oor nege voormiddag. We again follow the same pattern. We start with dit is ("is"), then we have the minutes, tien ("ten"), followed by the word for "past", oor. Then we have the hours, nege ("nine"). In this case, the sentence would be Dit is tien oor nege. The only time you will have to use the word uur ("hour") is when you have a whole hour. Like 10:00 P.M., 06:00 A.M., etc.

"It's 5:55 P.M.," in Afrikaans, is Dit is vyf voor ses.

T he Focus of this Lesson is How to Ask about Opening Hours

In this lesson, we will introduce you to a phrase that you will need on several occasions! While in South Africa, there will be lots of good food to try, many things to buy, and places to see. We all know you want to see the sights and this phrase is essential to plan your days. This lesson's phrase is "What time does (a place) open?" First, we need a place. Let's use the word museum ("museum"), since obviously you would like to sightsee a lot. Let's break it down by syllable. Mu-se- um. Now, let's see it once again. Museum.

In Afrikaans, "What time does the museum open?" is Hoe laat maak die museum oop? Let's break it down by syllable. Hoe laat maak die mu-se-um oop? Now let's see it one more time. Hoe laat maak die museum oop? The ﬁrst two words, Hoe laat, mean "What time." Let's break it down by syllable. Hoe laat. Hoe laat. Then we have maak, which is "makes." maak. This is followed by the location, museum, meaning "museum." Let's break it down by syllable and see it one more time. Mu- se-um. Museum. Finally, we have the word oop ("open"). So all together, we have Hoe laat maak die museum oop? ("What time does the museum open?")

It's also very important to know when places close! The worst thing to encounter is a "closed" sign hanging in front of a sight you wanted to see! We will also use museum as an example in our phrase. In Afrikaans, "What time does the museum close?" is Hoe laat maak die museum toe? Let's break it down by syllable. Hoe laat maak die mu-se-um toe? Now let's see it one more time. Hoe laat maak die

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #22 - WHAT TIME DOES IT OPEN IN SOUTH AFRICA? 3 museum toe? As you can see, this phrase is almost identical to the one we just introduced. The only thing that changes is toe, which means, "close," instead of oop ("open") at the beginning of the phrase. Hoe laat maak die museum toe? This literally means, "What time the museum closes?" We translate it as "What time does the museum close?"

You can use this phrase to inquire about any location you would like. For example, if you would like to ask, "What time does the restaurant open?" you would say Hoe laat maak die restaurant open?

In this phrase, we changed the place to restaurant. If you would like to ask, "What time does the bank close?" you would say Hoe laat maak die bank toe? Again, we changed the place.

T he Focus of this Lesson is Talking About Your Likes and Dislikes

In this lesson, we will introduce you to a phrase you will use countless times on your trip in South Africa. After this lesson, you will be able to say what you like and what you don't like. Let's move right in!

In Afrikaans, "I like beer" is Ek vind bier lekker. Let's break it down by syllable. Ek vind bier lek-ker Ek vind bier lekker. Now let's see it once again. Ek vind bier lekker.

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #23 - I LIKE IT AND I DON'T LIKE IT IN AFRIKAANS 3 The ﬁrst word, Ek, means, "I." Ek. The next component is a tricky one. There are quite a lot of translations for "like," but in this context we will translate it into the verb lekker vind. Let's break it down by syllable. Lek-ker vind. Lekker vind. It literally means, "ﬁnd delicious." The last word is bier, which is "beer." Bier. To recap here, we have Ek vind bier lekker. ("I like beer.") You can replace "beer" with any other kind food or drink to state if you like it or not.

If you want to say that you like beer very much, then you can use this phrase. In Afrikaans, "I like beer very much" is Ek vind bier baie lekker. Let's break it down by syllable and see it again. Ek vind bier baie lek-ker. Ek vind bier baie lek-ker. As you can see, we only added baie, which is "very much." baie.

In the event that you don't like beer, "I don't like beer" is Ek vind bier nie lekker nie. Let's break it down by syllable. Ek vind bier nie lek-ker nie. Ek vind bier nie lekker nie. The word nie means, "not." Let's see it one more time. Nie. Notice that nie also comes at the end of the sentence too! In Afrikaans, you always have to be doubly sure that you don't like something. Next, we have Ek vind lekker ("I like") and bier ("beer"). So all together, we have Ek vind bier nie lekker nie. ("I don't like beer.")

When you want to refer to a person and say that you like him or her, we have to use a diﬀerent translation for "like." The Afrikaans verb is hou van. For example, if you would like to say, "I like Nathalie," you would say, Ek hou van Nathalie.

In this lesson, we will cover some high-frequency adjectives to help you express yourself in various situations.

In Afrikaans, "It's delicious" is Dit is heerlik. Let's break it down by syllable. Dit is heer-lik. Dit is heerlik. The ﬁrst word, Dit, means, "it." Then we have is ("is"). Next, we have, heerlik, meaning, "delicious." heerlik. To recap, we have Dit is heerlik. ("It's delicious.") When describing something in Afrikaans, you have to use Dit ("it"),

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #24 - HIGH FREQUENCY AFRIKAANS ADJECTIVES 3 then the present form of the verb "to be," which is, is ("is"), and then the adjective.

Now let's go over some other adjectives that you can use with the pattern we just introduced. Let's try "spicy." In Afrikaans, "It's spicy" is Dit is skerp. The word for "spicy" is skerp. Skerp. skerp.

If you are talking about a person there are some main adjectives we need to cover.

1. lank "tall"

2. kort "short"

3. vet "fat"

4. dun "thin"

When talking about a girl, if you would like to say that, "she is pretty," in Afrikaans, this would be Sy is mooi.

On the other hand, if you are talking about a man, you would say, Hy is aantreklik. ("He's attractive.") You can use the word aantreklik when you are referring to a woman as well.

Now let's look at the negative. In Afrikaans, "It's not spicy" is Dit is nie skerp nie. Let's break it down by syllable. Dit is nie skerp nie. We only added the negation nie in front of the adjective and again at the end. All together, we have Dit is nie skerp nie. ("It's not spicy.")

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM SURVIVAL PHRASES S2 #25 - NATIONALITY IN AFRIKAANS 3 T he Focus of this Lesson is Talking About Where You Are From

In this lesson, we will cover a phrase you will be able to use in all those moments in which you are introducing yourself, or even friends, and you are talking about your own country and the place you come from.

First, let's review how to introduce ourselves. In Afrikaans, "My name is Adam" is My naam is Adam. Let's break it down by syllable and see it one more time. My naam is Adam. My naam is Adam. Here we have the phrase My naam is, which means, "my name is." Let's break it down and see it once again. My naam is. My naam is. This is followed by the name. In our example, Adam. To recap, we have My naam is Adam. ("My name is Adam.")

Now let's go and cover how to say where you're from! In Afrikaans, "I am an American" is Ek is Amerikaans. The ﬁrst two words, Ek is, mean, "I am." Ek is. Next, we have een Amerikaans, which in English, is "an American." All together, we have Ek is Amerikaans, meaning, "I am an American."

In Afrikaans, "I am a Canadian" is Ek is Kanadees. Now let's see it once again. Ek is Kanadees. As you can see, the verb doesn't change. You always have Ek is, or "I am." Then the only thing that changes is the nationality. Therefore, you have Kanadees in place of Amerikaans. To recap here, our phrase is Ek is Kanadees. ("I am a Canadian.")

This phrase is used to answer the question Waar kom jy vandaan? In English, this means, "Where are you from?" The ﬁrst word, waar, means, "where...from." Waar. Then we have kom is the verb, "to come." Kom. Next is jy, which we already know is "you." The last component is vandaan and means, "from," when it's used in combination with the verb "to come." Let's break it down and see it once again. Van- daan. All together, we have Waar kom jy vandaan? ("Where are you from?")
