Yellow in old english was geolu. Familiar to geel etc.
Piesang comes from the indonesian word. South-afrika was a station between Netherlands and Indonesia. Afrikaans is originated from dutch therefor very simular to dutch.😊
The Dutch settled in South Africa. Afrikaans is an Africanized version of Dutch with some extra English influenced because the British took over, as in so many places.
The basis of Afrikaans is Dutch but it has influences from Khoisan, Malaysian, German, French, Portugeuse and English
the locals started Afrikaans, in fact what you hear here is the "cleaned up" version of he language which brought it much closer to Dutch.
@@JSepanot Portuguese 🤣🤣
@@lorrenzom yes Portuguese, very small part but still relevant
@@JSepa please give me one Portuguese works that is used in Afrikaans because I can’t think of any and I speak Portuguese
Don't get too hung up about the way these things are spelled; concentrate on the way it's pronounced
I was able to pick up most words that are used in English. Many of the standout words in English come from other languages. For example, in Dutch, I knew without the English translation, "ziekenhuis" means hospital. First off, "hospital" has Latin roots; if we remove it, we would be saying "sick house." If I'm correct (though I could be wrong), "ziek" translates to sick, and "huis" is house. That's how I was able to pick that out, along with other words.
English is a Germanic language with a ton of French influence (due to what happened in 1066). Hence "le" instead of "el" at the end of many words.
On considère que 30% du vocabulaire de l'Anglais moderne est d'origine française (de l'ancien franco-normand)
@@denisscheffmann9240 Norman French differs from modern French by quite a bit, as well. Leading to it being similar but not exactly the same spelling as modern French words in many cases.
Beer in Afrikaans = Bier - Ginger beer, will be... Gemmerbier
Boot = Stewel - A type of shoe.. n' Tiepe skoen
😁
In Afrikaans, beer is bier, and boot is stewel. :)
😂😂😂😂 love the name for giraffe in afrikaans! Camel-horse in direct translation. Spot on!
The word "Kameelperd" comes from latin word "camelopardus" which is latin for Giraffe.
Kameelperd literally translated to English is camel horse
It's camelopard in English, it's another archaic name for giraffe.
There are usually 2 reasons for the english word to be different from the gemrna word.
1. Germany had a vowel change that english didn't have so some vowels will be different
2. Words more commonly found in the high society are of french origin as the nobility loved the french language for some reason.
That is why a Cow gives Beef
Peasants had cows so they used the german word "Kuh" but the rich people could afford the meat so they used the french "bœuf" which turned into "beef"
OR how back in the day you didn't call them animals, but everything was a "Deer" from the German "Tier" meaning animal, which comes again from french.
Cow and deer are not technically from German, just of similar origin. They come from the old English words cū and dēor. English is as old as German and stemmed from the same ancestor language (proto-germanic), not from German itself. Also deer/dēor tier/tior as a root descends directly from proto-germanic “deuzam”, not French
That "some reason" is the Norman invasion of 1066.
après 1066 (bataille de Hastings) , la noblesse était franco-normande et parlait le franco-normand. Le vieil Anglais était parlé par le Peuple. Le Français a été la langue officielle de la Cour jusqu'au XIVème siècle.
Black is coming from old english blaec.
In dutch we still have similar word like blaken, I do not know what changed this to Schwarz (german) and Zwart (dutch/afrikaans)
I like your version of things, how you imitate them, heel fantastisch😂
Praat can be replaced by spreek & gunsteling with ieflings , using synonyms
'werk' has the same root as 'work'. and in German one could also say 'werkeln' (just like 'Werkzeug' = Workstuff). One also can use in German 'Hospital' (in Austria German its even more used). The English 'Hound' is exactly the same as the different 'Hund' variations ...
I'm not sure about the other three, but the German man had a noticeable South German dialect.
It's most noticeable for "sechs". In Standard German, we do have that dedicated throat sound "ch", but pronounce "sechs" more like "seks".

Beer is Bier in german.
