Why is Die capitalized here?

It is capitalized only because it is the first word of the sentence. The word itself is normally die, and here it means the.

Does die change for gender or number?

No. Afrikaans does not use different definite articles for masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns the way some other European languages do. die is the normal definite article for both singular and plural nouns.

So:

• die pakket = the package
• die pakkette = the packages

You have to rely on the noun form and the context to tell singular from plural.

What is 'n, and how do I pronounce it?

'n is the indefinite article, meaning a or an.

A few important points:

• It is written with an apostrophe: 'n
• It is pronounced very weakly, like the unstressed a in about
• It is not pronounced like the English letter name N
• Even at the beginning of a sentence, it usually stays lowercase: 'n Pakket

So 'n kontraktydperk means a contract period.
