Questions & Answers about Die aanlynbestelling moet voor môre gekanselleer word.

Why is aanlynbestelling written as one word?

Afrikaans, like Dutch and German, very often joins nouns together into a single compound word.

• aanlyn = online
• bestelling = order
• aanlynbestelling = online order

English usually writes these as separate words, but Afrikaans commonly prefers one compound word.

What does die mean here, and does it change for gender?

Die is the definite article, so here it means the.

A useful thing for English speakers: Afrikaans does not change the definite article for gender. It uses die for all nouns, whether singular or plural.

So:

• die boek = the book
• die tafel = the table
• die bestellings = the orders
