bob_fox Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 ====================================== Jy is mos 'n skelem. ======================================Whaaaa?He he he! It's Afrikaans. It became an official South African language sometime in the 1930's. It was developed by the Dutch people living in South Africa. It is very similar to Dutch in most ways, one exception being that they don't use the letter "z" as often (in fact, they hardly use it at all).

niels Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 I was trying to translate the afrikaans into dutch, but i cant completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_fox Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 What I meant was: Jy is mos 'n skelm (added in an "e" by mistake)Direct translation: You are indeed a rogue (or knave). (Skelm here more means "low life" or some insult like that. I'm really conveying an Afrikaans expression, so it's difficult to translate.)I'm not trying to be nasty (someone will probably get angry), but Afrikaans is sort of Slang Dutch. Did you hear of that computer mouse called a Boomslang. Boomslang is Afrikaans for Tree Snake. If you split the Boom and the Slang words. Apparently I think one of the designers was South African.)

quoudam72 Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 Cool now that we know how to speak slang Dutch when do we get to stick our fingers in the dike? ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 Whatsa dike? Is that like UK slang or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_fox Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 I was never good at Afrikaans at school. So don't ask me to teach you. Ask a Boer. People from the UK may know who a Boer is. The British I think pronounced it "boo-a" (got this info from some TV program), but it is actually pronounced more like "boor" with a very strong "r". Boer just means farmer in Afrikaans. Anyway, I thought I'd just give you some information on South Africa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
