Die kworum laat die stemming toe.

Because die is the definite article the in Afrikaans.

• die kworum = the quorum
• die stemming = the vote / the voting

Afrikaans does not change the for gender or case, so the same word die is used for both nouns.

Yes. Kworum is a loanword closely matching English quorum.

It refers to the minimum number of people who must be present for a meeting or decision-making process to be valid.

So die kworum means the quorum.

Stemming usually means voting, the vote, or the balloting process, depending on context.

It comes from stem, which can mean vote.
So:

• stem = vote
• stemming = voting / the act of voting / the vote

In this sentence, die stemming most naturally means the vote or the voting process.

Because laat ... toe is a separable verb combination meaning allow or permit.

In a main clause, Afrikaans often splits this kind of verb:

• laat goes into the normal verb position
• toe moves to the end

So:

• Die kworum laat die stemming toe. = The quorum allows the vote.

This is similar to separable verbs in Dutch and somewhat like particle verbs in English, though the grammar is not exactly the same.

No. Laat is a very common verb with several related meanings, including:

• let
• allow
• have something done
• sometimes cause or make

In laat ... toe, the meaning is specifically allow / permit.

So in this sentence, it is best understood as part of the expression toelaat = to allow.

Yes. They are two forms of the same verb.

• In a main clause, it is often split:
  • Die kworum laat die stemming toe.
• In forms like the infinitive or some subordinate structures, it is often written together:
  • om die stemming toe te laat
  • dat die kworum die stemming toelaat

So learners should recognize that laat ... toe and toelaat belong together.

Yes. It follows a very normal Afrikaans main-clause pattern:

Subject + finite verb + object + particle

So here:

• Die kworum = subject
• laat = finite verb
• die stemming = object
• toe = separable particle

That makes the sentence very standard and natural.

Afrikaans usually keeps noun forms simpler than English.

Here, stemming is already a noun meaning voting or the vote. Afrikaans does not need extra articles or case endings to show its role in the sentence. The meaning comes mostly from word order and the verb pattern.

So:

• die stemming stays the same form
• its role as the object is shown by position after the verb

Yes. That is a good translation.

Depending on context, laat ... toe can be translated as:

• allows
• permits
• lets

So these are all possible English renderings:

• The quorum allows the vote.
• The quorum permits the vote.
• The quorum allows the voting to proceed.

The best choice depends on the situation.

In this sentence, both nouns are singular:

• die kworum = the quorum
• die stemming = the vote / the voting

But it is useful to know that Afrikaans also uses die for plural definite nouns. So die does not by itself tell you whether something is singular or plural. You usually tell from the noun and the context.
