As in Dutch and German, infinitives and parlars from the past appear in the main sentences in the last position, separated from the corresponding auxiliary verb. For example, Afrikaans, like other Germanic languages, also has an analytic passive voice, which is formed in the present tense using the auxiliary verb (to be) + past partizip, and in the past tense by using the auxiliary word + past partizip. For example, Afrikaans has a strict word order, which is described in many South African textbooks with the so-called “STOMPI rule”. The rule name specifies the order in which parts of a sentence should appear. The word het in Dutch does not correspond to het in Afrikaans. Het in Dutch means in English. The Dutch word for het in Afrikaans (in these cases) is heb. The condition is indicated by the preterital form sou + infinitive. For example, modern Afrikaans also lacks a pluparfait (e.B. I had looked). Instead, the pluparfait, like the preterite, is expressed with the perfect. Overall, the same morphological changes that apply to inflected adjectives also apply to the plural formation of nouns.
For example, the plural of vraag (question) is vrae (questions). An object is necessary in this case, otherwise it implies that the subject (ek) is broken. Formally written Afrikaans also admits the construction of what gemaak to passively indicate the voice in the most, which in this case was made accordingly. The meaning of the sentence can change depending on the auxiliary verb used (is/was), e.B implies that something was done and still exists today, while this gemaak implies that something was done but was destroyed or lost. A peculiarity of Afrikaans is the use of double negative. For example, there is no distinction between infinitive and present forms of verbs, with the exception of these verbs: alternatively, a relative clause can begin with a preposition + “comment” if it refers to a personal precursor, or an agglutination between “waar” and a preposition if it refers to a non-personal precursor. The perfect consists of the auxiliary verb het + vergangenheitspartizip, which – with the exception of the verb hê (Vergangenheitspartizip gehad), separable verbs such as reghelp (Vergangenheitspartizip reggehelp) and verbs with beginnings such as ver- and ont- (verkoop, ontmoet are both infinitive and pastspartizip) – is regularly formed by adding the prefix ge- to the infinitive/present form of the verb. Note, for example, that hullie and zullie are used instead of zij (subject, third person plural) in several dialects of Dutch. Relative sentences usually begin with the pronoun “wat”, which is used for both personal and non-personal precursors.
For example, compare to “Ek wil nie dit doen nie,” which changes the meaning to “I don`t want to do this particular thing.” While “Ek wil dit nie doen nie” emphasizes the reluctance to act, “Ek wil nie dit doen nie” highlights the reluctance to carry out the given action. Starting with our flagship product, Cudoo, we have structured ourselves around a simple one-for-one concept: for every course a learner takes, we offer a course for someone in need. By partnering with charities and organizations that have a proven impact on people`s lives, our learners play a vital role in improving someone else`s life. Names in Afrikaans, as in modern Dutch, do not have an inflection case system[2] and have no grammatical gender (unlike modern Dutch). However, there is a distinction between singular and plural forms of nouns. The most common plural marker is the suffix -e, but several common nouns form their plural instead by adding a final -s. A number of common nouns have irregular plurals: remnants of case distinction remain in the pronoun system. [2] For example, adjectives can be curved if they precede a noun. Typically, multisyllable adjectives are usually folded when used as attributive adjectives. However, monosyllabic attributive adjectives may or may not be folded, depending mainly on a set of rather complex phonological rules. When an adjective is folded, it usually takes the ending -e and a number of morphological changes can occur.
For example, the last t is restored after a /x/ sound that disappears in non-inflected adjectives such as reg (cf. Dutch law) when the adjective is folded (excited). A similar phenomenon applies to apocopes from t to /s/. For example, the adjective vas vast becomes when it is folded. Conversely, adjectives ending in -d (pronounced /t/) or -g (pronounced /x/) after a long vowel or diphthongs lose -d and -g when folded. .
