Questions & Answers about Dit blyk later.

What does blyk mean here?

Blyk is a verb meaning appear, turn out, or become apparent/clear. In this sentence, it carries the idea that something is not clear at first, but becomes clear afterward.

It is a useful verb because Afrikaans often uses blyk where English might use a longer expression such as turns out or becomes clear.

Why is dit used?

Dit means it, and here it is the subject of the sentence.

Usually, dit refers back to some fact, idea, or situation already mentioned. So even if English sometimes feels a bit freer about leaving that idea implicit, Afrikaans still needs a subject in the sentence, and dit fills that role.

Why isn’t there a separate word for becomes or clear?

Because blyk already contains that meaning.

English often says something like it becomes clear later, using a verb plus an adjective. Afrikaans can express the same idea with just blyk. So the meaning is packed into the verb itself.

If you wanted a more explicit alternative, you could say Dit word later duidelik, which is closer to It becomes clear later word-for-word.
