Ons verpak die produk en stuur dit terug.

Ons means we. It is the subject of the sentence, so it comes first in a normal main-clause word order:

Ons verpak die produk en stuur dit terug.
= We package the product and send it back.

Afrikaans usually follows a straightforward subject + verb + object pattern in simple statements.

Yes. Verpak is the verb to package / pack / wrap for shipping, and here it is the present-tense form used with ons.

Afrikaans verbs do not change form the way English verbs do. So you get:

• Ek verpak = I package
• Jy verpak = you package
• Ons verpak = we package

The verb stays verpak.

Here, die means the.

So:

• die produk = the product

Afrikaans uses die as the definite article for both singular and plural nouns:

• die produk = the product
• die produkte = the products

Unlike English, Afrikaans does not switch between the forms, and unlike some other languages, it does not mark grammatical gender with the article.

Because the same subject, ons, applies to both verbs:

• Ons verpak die produk
• (ons) stuur dit terug

When two actions are linked by en (and), Afrikaans often leaves out the repeated subject if it is the same. This is very natural.

So the sentence means:

• We package the product and send it back

You could repeat ons, but it is usually unnecessary here.

Afrikaans verbs generally do not change according to the subject in the present tense. So stuur stays stuur no matter who does the action:

• Ek stuur
• Jy stuur
• Hy stuur
• Ons stuur

This is much simpler than English, where we say I send but he sends.

Dit means it, and here it refers back to die produk.

So:

• die produk = the product
• dit = it

Instead of repeating die produk, Afrikaans uses dit:

• Ons verpak die produk en stuur dit terug.

That is exactly like English:
We package the product and send it back.

Terug means back, and it normally comes after the object in a sentence like this:

• stuur dit terug = send it back

This word order is very common and natural in Afrikaans.

Compare:

• Ek bring dit terug. = I bring it back.
• Sy stuur die pakkie terug. = She sends the parcel back.

So terug works like an adverb showing direction or reversal.

Yes, in many contexts you may also see terugstuur as a single verb, especially in infinitive forms or where the idea is treated as a compound verb.

For example:

• Ons wil dit terugstuur. = We want to send it back.

But in a simple main clause, Afrikaans often separates the parts:

• Ons stuur dit terug.

So for learners, stuur ... terug is a very useful and common pattern to recognize.

Yes, very much so. En means and and joins the two actions:

• verpak = package
• stuur = send

So:

• Ons verpak die produk en stuur dit terug.
• We package the product and send it back.

It links two coordinated verbs with the same subject.

Because each verb needs its own object, but the second one uses a pronoun instead of repeating the full noun.

First clause:

• verpak die produk = package the product

Second clause:

• stuur dit terug = send it back

This avoids repetition. Afrikaans does this just as English does.

A common past construction in Afrikaans uses het + past participle:

• Ons het die produk verpak en dit teruggestuur.

That means:

• We packaged the product and sent it back.

Notice:

• verpak stays verpak as the participle here
• stuur becomes gestuur
• with terugstuur, you often get teruggestuur

So the past form helps learners see how Afrikaans often builds tense with het rather than changing the verb itself.

Yes, produk is very close to English product in meaning. It is a neuter-style noun because Afrikaans does not have grammatical gender like many European languages.

You might see:

• die produk = the product
• 'n produk = a product
• produkte = products

Because it looks similar to English, it is a helpful cognate for learners.
