Learn Hardcore Afrikaans: Die tegnikus bepaal die kabelroete na gelang van die muuraansluiting. - The technician determines the cable route depending on the wall connection.

In Afrikaans, die is the definite article for the. It is used for singular and plural nouns, and it does not change for grammatical gender.

So in this sentence:

die tegnikus = the technician
die kabelroete = the cable route
die muuraansluiting = the wall connection/outlet

English also repeats the when needed, so this is quite normal.

Why is the verb bepaal not changed to match die tegnikus?

Afrikaans verbs usually do not change form for person or number in the present tense.

So you get:

ek bepaal
jy bepaal
hy/sy bepaal
ons bepaal
hulle bepaal

That is much simpler than English, where you have I determine but he determines. In Afrikaans, it stays bepaal.

Why does bepaal come right after Die tegnikus?
