Klink nice. Die dam was net 'n gelukskoot - vet kans gevat. lol

Die reën was "nice" ja. Het dit baie geniet. Spaar my tuin natmaak vir die volgende 2 dae... Dit het GOED geval.

So het hierdie in 'n kom-ons-bespreek-Pretoria gesprek ontaard? Lekker snorstad manne!

Yeah, does seem to have taken a turn off the main road and gone into the local ATKV resort for a bit. It's all good though Dutchies

Ek weet net ek het iemand gister lelik omgekrap met hisse se ore. . . . .

"Met hisse se ore"?? Someone has got to explain that one to me please.

 

[FarligOpptreden]

It's actually "hisse met lang ore". If someone is curious about something, you can dismiss their curiosity by stating that, whatever they are curious about, is "hisse met lang ore".

We always said: "Hisse is Hase met lang ore".

Sorry man! Dis waar ek die afleiding gemaak het ja.

 

[Wyvern]

Ag sies man, dis mossie mooi nie!

 

[Jaco Smit]

[Kimitar]

Literally cannot understand or speak Afrikaans (save for a few cuss words that I picked up in games like Dota 2) since I'm from the 'States.

Pretty fun to listen to though (the rolling R's and the guttural G's and whatnot).

 

[Wlad]

Ek is nou skoon verbaas. My internet by die huis is die laaste paar dae af en het nou net eers vir 'n slag weer op Tapatalk gekom. My hart was al te bly om op hierdie wonderlike draad/garing af te kom.

Dit is wel 'n interessante grafiek daardie maar ek ken niemand wat meer as een of twee van daardie gesegdes gebruik nie. Ek self gebruik basies net "swarrie" en "tapit" so nou en dan.

 

[oltman]

Ja nee kyk jong!

 

[AstroTurf]

Ja nee kyk jong!

Love the direct translation of that phrase.

"yes no look young"
