    Drank generally means an alcoholic drink, while drankie means any kind of drink. Better not use drank, but rather drankie. Dinner is definitely not dinee. I've never heard someone use dinee in my entire life. It's called aandete. Which roughly translates to 'evening meal'. Tbh, many of the English words don't correspond to the Afrikaans translations.

    • @tarienriley6712
      @tarienriley6712 3 роки тому +3

      Presies. Ons vra eerder vir iets om te drink. As ek gaan vra vir drank gaan ek verseker alkohol kry. There are quite a lot of mistakes in this video. It irritates me. "Dinee" is actually more like a formal event - like a gala, similar to prom etc. Urgh. Why did they not get a panel of Afrikaans people to help them, we could've haha..
