ET, it's always a pleasure to see your videos in my feed. I have a happy feeling when I see them and your teaching style is relaxed and comforting. 10/10 ❤❤❤❤ from Montana, USA.
"Necessitar" and "ter necessidade" are the Portuguese equivalents of "benodig" and "het nodig", respectively. "Ter" is a very common auxiliary verb, like "tener" in Spanish.
So, the expression "MUST LISTEN" is broken apart like in the Afrikaans phrase "Jy moet na jou ouers luister". I think this structure is found in German. A very interesting similarity...
Hi, Love what you are doing. I am also trying to have a youtube channel. What programmes do you use to make your words come up and to edit your vids. Any help will be much appreciated! Keep up the amazing work!!!
The modern Greek particle να (/na/) is used in phrases like "πρέπει να ακούσεις τον πατέρα σου" (you must listen to your father) but I think να is not a voorsetsel like na. Na is equivalent to "to", isn´t it?
Yes, "na" is equivalent to "to", but "na" also means after. For example: Ons gaan na die vertoning = We go to the show. Wat gaan ons na die vertoning doen? = What are we going to do after the show?
I'm a bit confused about "die berge". I thought g (except in ng) always was pronounced as /χ/, but you seem to say it as /g/, similar to how berg would be pronounced in English. Why is this?
Hi. So with berg the singular and plural forms have different pronunciations of "g". When we pronounce the singular "berg", it is the hard Afrikaans 'g'....but the plural "berge" is pronounced like the English 'g'. I am going to make a series of videos on Afrikaans plurals, because it is very complicated. We have about 5 or 6 different ways to form plurals depending on the letters in the singular form. It is said to be very complex. The g to ge pronunciation change is just one of our plural rules.
Sal jy asseblief die venster toemaak? / Will you please shut the window? In this case I thought that "sal/will" were future markers. In Portuguese we use the verb "poder" (can, may) with the same meaning of "sal" in the phrase. Languages learning misteries...
Hello. "Dra klere" or "klere dra" is when you are already dressed and wearing the clothes. "Trek aan" is when you are getting dressed or putting your clothes on..."trek aan/aantrek" = the process of getting dressed. When you say "ek gaan daai klere dra" it means you will be wearing those clothes at some point. When you say "ek gaan daai klere aantrek", it can also mean exactly the same or it means you are going to put those clothes on later. I hope this helps! Thanks for your question!!

Wat gaan ons na die vertoning doen? = What are we going to do after the show?
The last phrase can been written literally "What are going we after the show to do... 😆😆😆😆😆😆@@ETAfrikaans
I think for French influence, English is somewhat similar to others Romance languages in terms of structure.

4:44 - May I speak "Ek vergeet name van die mense"?
Yes, that's correct🙂
Goeiemiddag!
Goeiemiddag
3:53 - I haven´t understood if "sal jy deur..."is an order or a question.
In that context it is an order masked as a polite question. It's definitely asking someone while simultaneously telling as well🙈
I will think about this. Maybe I must check in a English grammar how to order politely to understand the context.

Wilt u alstublieft het raam sluiten? Word by word it is the same phrase in this archaic language... 😆😆😆😆😆
Wat is die verskil tussen (1) trek aan en (2) dra ?
Hello. "Dra klere" or "klere dra" is when you are already dressed and wearing the clothes. "Trek aan" is when you are getting dressed or putting your clothes on..."trek aan/aantrek" = the process of getting dressed. When you say "ek gaan daai klere dra" it means you will be wearing those clothes at some point.
