Вопрос: Как приветствовать людей на языке африкаанс?

I am Afrikaans. This woman has a strong English accent when she tries to pronounce the words in Afrikaans. There’s also a spelling mistake «biki» should be «bietjie» and she totally mispronounced the word item.

I’d heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
Well, it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Afrikaans has a simpler grammar. Dutch and Afrikaans speakers can understand each other to a great extent, but there can always be problems, they are definitely different languages, although they are very similar.

TujoloM ale Tuhan
Hulehon nasa ngolungkon
Naung tinobus Mu au pardosaon.
Hu ingot sude holong Mi
Nang dohot sude Asi Mi
Pinujima Goar Mu Haleluya
Haleluya…haleluya…haleluya…haleluuuya.

Marsinggang au ale Tuhan
Hulompit dohot tangankon
Mauliate ala Basa Mi
Taringot au di burju Mi
Nang dohot sude Asi Mi
Pinujima Goar Mu haleluya…
Haleluya…haleluya…haleluya…haleluuuuuyaa

O Jesus hi Parholong i
Apuli ma nang rohangki
Asa unang gale,nang tondingki
Huboto ala Holong Mi
Nang dohot sude Asi mi
Pinujima Goar Mu haleluya..
Haleluya…haleluya…haleluya…haleluuuuuuuyaa…..

Bietjie. Not Biki. And French is Frans,not Franse. Franse is used to refer to the people, not the language. For example: dis ‘n klomp Franse It is a buch/group of French/Frenchmen. Also, Item is pronounced ietem, with the I sounding like the ie in drie/hierdie etc.

Hi, although some people predict that it will go down with Afrikaans in N and SA. Recent research show that Afrikaans as first language grow in Namibia and in SA in SA it grow in 11 years with 800000 more people! Tv news and paper are in Afrikaans.

В польском:
До видзэнья основное до свидания
До зобачэнья увидимся
До услышэнья прощание до созвона.
На разе (Рус.) «давай»
Па «пока», обычно так прощаются с девушками.
Чэщчь универсальное и привет, и пока (типа «алоха» на Гавайях и т.д.)

Anyone else noticed it’s missing the third verse?
«Well, baby, I’ve been here before I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor. I used to live alone before I knew ya and I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch and love is not a victory March it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.»

Wow this is so awesome… Namibia seems like a cool place, with streets, shops, friendly people. I am so sorry, I my head it was a bit stereotyped and generalized T.T Now I can see I was so wrong. And what an amazing diversity! I loved the video, please more about Namibia!! We need african english/other languages to join the game:)

My gunsteling tale is Duits, Nederlands en Afrikaans. Hierdie drie tale is Wes-Germaanse tale. Deur hierdie drie tale kan jy na Duitsland, Oostenryk, Switserland, Nederland, België, Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten ( wêreldwyd bekend as gevolg van die vliegtuie wat oor die strand laagvlieg ), Suriname, Suid-Afrika en Namibië reis.

«Abend» и «обед» это одинаковые слова или просто созвучные?
И 2-й вопрос у мужчин принято крепко жать руку при встрече,слабое рукопожатие признак неуважения к самому себе и встречному.Как женщины жмут руку мужчине и мужчина женщине?

Halle I Can’t Do Ya

I heard there is a freaky song
Impossible to sing along
And you don’t really like the lyrics, do ya?

It goes like this, it starts out high
You raise your voice and hope it will fly
Because you like to sing the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, I can’t do ya, Hallelujah, I can’t do ya

The chorus is sweet, but the lyrics are kinky
The premise is vague and the rhythm is stinky
But everyone likes to sing the Hallelujah

And everyone who sings this song
Except for Leonard, sings it wrong
He’s the only one who can do the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, I can’t do ya, Hallelujah, I can’t do ya

I did my best, but I really suck
That major lift was just too much
I’m out of breath, I wouldn’t try to fool ya

But even though I sang it wrong
I was better than Sheryl Crow doing this song
My God, she really screwed the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, I can’t do ya, Hallelujah, I can’t do ya

(Author’s note: The name, Sheryl Crow, can be substituted with anyone who has attempted this tune)

The first and second stanzas of this songs tells the story of King David. The first stanza tells how his music with his harp comforts King Saul whom in his later life, wanted him dead. The second line is when he committed adultery with his first general”s wife, Bathsheeba whom he saw bathing under the moonlight. He killed Bathsheeba’s husband by sending his troops to the land where he lost in the battle. It is actually a battle where in the Israelites lose. Then Bathsheeba and David’s act of adultery made the Lord angry at him which ended up David losing his throne. But then David regretted everything and he repented. The same story goes with us ordinary people who makes mistakes but we should bear in our mind that the Lord forgives yet the moment we repent we should never do the same mistake again.

People usually shorted «Dit is ‘n plesier» to «plesier».
«Goeie dag» to «dag».
«Goeie nag» to «nag».
«Goeie middag» to «middag».
«Skuustog» is acceptable but «Askies or askuustog or skuus» is more commonly used.

The pronoun «u» is usually used when talking to an old person or an important person, for example a priest. These days it’s pretty outdated so stick to «Jy» unless you’re speaking to a police officer or person of authority.

oml i remember when i had to sing this for my whole school in a class assembly cause i was the only one who could hit the high notes not even the boys could… although i didnt sound bad (edit) also i hit the high notes and my whole class after it was like ‘uhh wtf since when could you hit that!?’ Cause i have a really deep voice

I speak English fluently, and then a bit German ( like no where near fluent, but not so bad I can’t string a few sentences together)
Scottish Gaelic (Just a little tho!!!)
Japanese (above)
I used to be able to say a bit in Italian as well…

I can speak Spanish, it’s my native language. Then I can also speak English, French, German, Norwegian, Catalan and Greek.
I can speak Latin and Ancient Greek fluently although they’re no longer used. And I’m learning proto Indo European:)
I love languages

Приветствие Servus я запомнил из популярного австрийского сериала Комиссар Рекс=) Там я его слышал каждый раз,когда сначала Мозер,а потом Брантнер заходили в полицейский кабинет к коллегам и приветствовали их)))
