    this is so funny to me! I'm dutch and when we say 'nice to meet you' we say 'LEUK je te ontmoeten' if you would say ' lekker om jou te ontmoet' it would mean 'tasty to meet you' and if we say ontmoet we say it as 'ik heb iemand ontmoet' = I have met someone. ontmoeten is the whole verb. so similar, yet so different. very cool

      Lekker does not necessarily mean tasty, sometimes it can be used in another context for example
      "Hoe was jou reis Kaap toe?" "Lekker
      Meaning
      "How was your trip to Cape town?"
      "Fun"
      Another example
      "Die wind waai lekker vandag"
      Meaning
      "The wind today is nice"
      Another one
      "Lekker slaap"
      Meaning
      "Sleep well"
      It basically just means nice, fun tasty, well, good, and so on. Just a word describing nice.
      I just realised this is probably not what you meant but I'll send it anyways

    Bonjour super vidéo! Lindie est très pédagogique . J'adore l'afrikaans, une super jolie langue, parlée et ça on ne le sait pas toujours en majorité non pas par les Boers/Afrikaners d'Afrique du Sud (Descendants des Néerlandais d'Afrique du Sud) mais par les métis (populations aux origines mélangées souvent Khoï et San avec des Européens ou des Khoï et San avec des Malais). En outre il y a des traits de créolisation venus probablement du Khoï et du San , notamment dans la grammaire et bien-sûr quelques emprunts de vocabulaire.
