Questions & Answers about Die verhuisingsmaatskappy bevestig die afleweringsadres en bring die sleutelbos.
Because Afrikaans usually writes compound nouns as a single word.
So:
- verhuising = moving / removal
- maatskappy = company
Together they become verhuisingsmaatskappy = a moving company.
The same pattern appears in afleweringsadres:
- aflewering = delivery
- adres = address
So afleweringsadres means delivery address.
This is very normal in Afrikaans.
That -s- is a linking sound often used inside Afrikaans compounds.
It does not necessarily mean plural here. It is just part of how the compound is formed.
So:
- verhuising + maatskappy → verhuisingsmaatskappy
- aflewering + adres → afleweringsadres
English learners often want to analyze that -s- as if it were an English possessive or plural, but in compounds it is often just a connector.
