Indeed many Afrikaners have British surnames or are leading families in the Afrikaner community such as the Kingsley's, Haxton's, Williams's, Smith's , Ballot's, Macdonald's, Jones's, Symington's, McLaren's, Nicol's, Murray 's ect ect ect.
@Deinonychosauria He says 'Ek bel van Eskom' (the electricity company - I'm not from SA, but remember the name of it) 'Ek bel van' doesn't sound right - in Dutch 'ik bel uit' but may or may not be the same in Afrikaans.
Afrikaans is 17th century Dutch. It was then spoken by sailers from the Dutch East Company and spoken by setlers from rural areas from the Netherlands. Most setlers were farmers. Afrikaans today is similar like a lot of Netherlands en Flemisch dialects in rural areas. Standard Dutch in the Netherlands is introduce in 1945. The Netherlands has a lot of dialects. And because the province of Holland was always an economical power, the standard language became 'Hollands'.
Ek kom uit ierland en ek het van my afrikaner vriende afrikaans geleer. Ek dink Whackhead se Afrikaans is nog beter dan myne. Kan iemand vir my die grappe skryf om dat ek die ook kan leer?
Ek kom ook van Ierland af en ek ook leer n bietjie Afrikaans praat. Lekker om jou kommentaar te sien. Ek is nie vlot nie maar ek dink die grappies was: 1. Is jou yskas hardlooping? Is dit? Wel, dan vang dit. (extremely bad direct translation of 'Is your fridge running - e.g. running in the sense of walking fast rather than operating)?' Is it? Well then go catch it. 2. Het jy Pieter Stuyvesant (tipe suid afrikaanse sigarette ) in n doos? Kan jy hom asseblief uit die doos gooi. Dis baie donker in daar. Do you have Peter Stuyvesant (type of cigarettes) in a box. Well can you let him out, it's very dark in there? 3. Ek weet nie presies nie. Ek dink dit is dieselfde as die tweede maar met Jack Daniels in plaas van die sigarette. (Jammer almal vir my slegte grammatika)
English speaking Afrikaners are married to or Afrikaans anscestors and relations. Indeed many Afrikaners have British surnames or are leading families in the Afrikaner community such as the Kingsley's, Haxton's, Williams's, Smith's , Ballot's, Macdonald's, Jones's, Symington's, McLaren's, Nicol's, Murray 's ect ect ect.
I've work for several months in Capetown and I could understand Afrikaans for 85%. Reading Afrikaans was easier for me 98%. Before I went to SA I never had any lessons or training of Afrikaans, but I could communicate in(slow)Dutch and the Afrikaans speakers can understand me. Most words are the same and has the same meaning, but there is a differents in spelling and grammar.
its also Quite easy for German speakers to undertand this if you come from the boarder areas :- for example i speak Tweensen and can understand what he says! Adrikaans is easy to comprehend but difficult to replyin!
The standard dutch, has a lot of infleunce from French, German and English. And sum words from Indonesia/Malaysia. Afrikaans however has always battled agains the English language. And it was seperate from Holland for centuries, because the Boers moved to the African inlands. Afrikaans has also sum Indonesia/Malaysia influance because the Dutch East Company had a lot of slaves from that areas. For Afrikaners it's difficult to understand Dutch grammar. for Dutchman to Afrikaans it's verry easy.
Afrikaans because he never bothered to pay attention at home or in school. All English speaking and Afrikaners are bilingual in Afrikaans & English and nearlly all English speaking Afrikaners are married to or Afrikaans anscestors and relations.
Jou ma sal baie trots wees op jou taalgebruik.........miskien nie miskien praat sy ook soos jy, kan nie n grappie vat nie maar vir jare trek jy vir Jan van der Merwe en die Engelsman deur jou gat. Hoop jy word beter of groot, baie sterkte!
inderdaad hij moet ophouden met spotten! ik kom uit Holland kan je dit lezen? yeah right he needs to stop spotting Afrikaans! i come from Holland can you read this? i am 13 so my engilsh is not perfect :D
Dis Hoeveld se verdiende loon omdat hulle so teen Afrikaans is. Ek is bly nie een van die persone op die foon het geval vir hulle grappies nie. Siestog Hoeveld probeer iets anders.
How can he be a racist if he's making fun of his own race? On top of that, he's not making fun of Afrikaaners as much as he is trying to tell a crappy joke in crappy Afrikaans. Although he has made fun of Afrikaaners on occasion, but then again, it's all in jest!
Ik heb paar maanden gewerkt in Kaapstad en kon Afrikaans vrij goed begrijpen. Afrikaans literatuur is heel makkelijk te lezen.

kmfw72 We wouldn't use "uit" in such a case. Occasionally the phrase "vanaf uit" is used, but that is old school Afrikaans.

It could be argued that he is racist!
