Ons draai die breekgoed in borrelplastiek toe en gebruik verpakkingstape.

Because toedraai is a separable verb in Afrikaans.

• The full dictionary form is toedraai.
• In a normal main clause, it splits:
  • Ons draai die breekgoed in borrelplastiek toe.

This is similar to separable verbs in Dutch and a bit like English wrap up, where up can move:

• We wrap the fragile items up.

So here:

• draai ... toe = wrap up

The toe is not the ordinary adjective meaning closed here; it is the separable particle belonging to the verb toedraai.

Breekgoed is a compound noun:

• breek = break
• goed = goods/things

So breekgoed literally means breakable goods/things. In natural English, it usually corresponds to:

• fragile items
• breakables
• sometimes crockery or fragile belongings, depending on context

It is a very useful packing/moving word.

This is because die breekgoed refers to a specific set of items, while borrelplastiek and verpakkingstape are being used as materials.

• die breekgoed = the fragile items
• in borrelplastiek = in bubble wrap
• gebruik verpakkingstape = use packing tape

In Afrikaans, as in English, material or mass nouns often appear without an article when you mean the substance in a general sense.

Compare:

• Ons gebruik verpakkingstape. = We use packing tape.
• Gee vir my die verpakkingstape. = Give me the packing tape.

So the missing article is normal here.

Because draai iets in iets toe is the normal pattern for wrap something in something.

So:

• Ons draai die breekgoed in borrelplastiek toe. = We wrap the fragile items in bubble wrap.

This matches English quite closely:

• wrap something in paper
• wrap something in plastic
• wrap something in bubble wrap

You may also see other constructions in other contexts, but here in is the natural choice.

Yes. Afrikaans very often forms compounds as a single word.

• borrel = bubble
• plastiek = plastic
• borrelplastiek = bubble wrap

The same happens with:

• verpakkingstape = packing tape
• breekgoed = breakables / fragile goods

This is very common in Afrikaans, much more so than in English spelling. A native English speaker often expects separate words, but Afrikaans usually prefers one compound word.

No. Afrikaans verbs are much simpler than English verbs in the present tense.

With most verbs, the verb form stays the same regardless of the subject:

• ek gebruik
• jy gebruik
• ons gebruik
• hulle gebruik

So in this sentence:

• Ons ... gebruik verpakkingstape.

there is no special -s or other ending to mark we. That is completely normal in Afrikaans.

Because Afrikaans can omit the repeated subject in a coordinated clause when it is clearly the same subject.

So:

• Ons draai die breekgoed in borrelplastiek toe en gebruik verpakkingstape.

means:

• We wrap the fragile items in bubble wrap and use packing tape.

You could also say:

• Ons draai die breekgoed in borrelplastiek toe en ons gebruik verpakkingstape.

But that sounds a bit more explicit or emphatic. The shorter version is natural and common.

It can mean both, depending on the sentence.

In this sentence, ons is the subject, so it means we:

• Ons draai ... = We wrap ...

But Afrikaans often uses the same form for subject and object:

• Hulle sien ons. = They see us.
• Ons sien hulle. = We see them.

So yes, ons can mean both we and us.

Yes. Verpakkingstape means packing tape or packaging tape.

It is another compound:

• verpakking = packaging / packing
• tape = tape

So:

• gebruik verpakkingstape = use packing tape

In everyday English, packing tape is probably the most natural translation.

Yes, in many contexts wikkel can also mean wrap.

For example:

• Ons wikkel die breekgoed in borrelplastiek.

That is understandable and natural. But draai ... toe emphasizes the idea of wrapping something up or around something. In packing contexts, it works very well.

So:

• wikkel = wrap
• draai ... toe = wrap up / wrap around

Both can be correct, but the sentence you were given uses the very common separable-verb pattern toedraai.

The structure is:

• Ons = subject
• draai = finite verb
• die breekgoed = object
• in borrelplastiek = prepositional phrase
• toe = separable particle
• en gebruik verpakkingstape = coordinated second verb phrase

So the first part follows the usual Afrikaans main-clause pattern:

• Subject + finite verb + rest + separable particle

That is why you get:

• Ons draai die breekgoed in borrelplastiek toe

rather than keeping toedraai together in the middle of the sentence.
