Funny is Ek is lief vir jou , Would translate in het Nederlands Ik ben lief voor jou . I am nice to you in english In dutch it would be Ik hou van jou . it sounds strange but there is no verb for love in dutch , only the word liefde or lief . Quite a strange word play with dutch , flemish and afrikaans . as we kan express love for some one with many words exept using the actual word.
@@YourAfrikaansChannel Is has a double meaning , it can be used as verb like are was am , or as indicator to an action or description of an object or animal or person , The dog is brown , the dog is walking . If interested there is a nice video of 11th century dutch spoken in rotterdam , i post the name of the video below its quite interesting to hear how the dutch language evolved . please enjoy : Taal in Rotta. Hoe klonk het Oudnederlands in elfde-eeuws Rotterdam?
@@YourAfrikaansChannel De nederlandse taal is zo verandert in de afgelopen 2000 jaar . van het oud-fries , oud neder -saksisch en frankisch het is echt een mengelmoes van talen en dialecten . Zet een Belg , Luxemburger , nederlander en zuid afrikaan in een kamer , ze kunnen een gesprek voeren , en verstaan , maar gebruiken andere voorkeurs woorden .
Afrikaans is not a real language, it is just a simplified variety of Dutch! Speaking Dutch, I understand about 95% of Afrikaans (Kaap-Nederlands/Kombuistaal)!
It is very true that Afrikaans has its roots from Dutch and influence from other languages. However it has evolved into its own distinct and legitimate language. It differs from Dutch in terms of its sounds and has a rich literacy tradition. It is further spoken by millions and is among one of the many official languages of South Africa.

Nicely explained thank you.
It's only a pleasure! And thank you for your comment.
Baie dankie!
Groot Plesier!
En ek is net so lief vir jou.
Baie dankie vir die terugvoer.
Geweldig dat Afrikaans zo goed te verstaan is, kwam goed uit toen ik daar woonde!.
Wonderlik en interessant. Dankie vir die kommentaar.
Ek hou van jou ❤
Baie mooi!
I've been talking to a south African girl for a while now , she calls me sweetheart , sweets and sweetie or sexy i guess its what mood she is in
Wonderful. In Afrikaans one would actually say liefling, liefie, skat etc.

Interesting. In Afrikaans "is" is the "to be" verb in English.
