Questions & Answers about Ons gaan die salarisstrokie na, ongeag of hulle haar onderbetaal.
Because the verb here is nagaan, which is a separable verb in Afrikaans.
- Full verb: nagaan = to check, examine, review
- In a main clause, the first part stays in the normal verb position, and the particle moves to the end:
So this is not the preposition na meaning after or to. It is the second part of the verb nagaan.
No. In this sentence, gaan ... na belongs together as nagaan.
So:
- Ons gaan die salarisstrokie na = We check / review the payslip
- not We are going to the payslip
This can be confusing because gaan often does mean go or helps form a future meaning. But the na at the end shows that this is the separable verb nagaan.
