Die kondensasiewater kom uit die stoomspuitstuk.

Word by word:

• Die = the
• kondensasiewater = condensation water / condensate
• kom = comes
• uit = out of / from
• die = the
• stoomspuitstuk = steam nozzle / steam jet nozzle

A natural full translation would be something like:

• The condensation water comes from the steam nozzle.
• or The condensate comes out of the steam nozzle.

Because Afrikaans, like Dutch and German, very often forms compound nouns by writing them as a single word.

So:

• kondensasie = condensation
• water = water

Together:

• kondensasiewater = condensation water

This is very normal in Afrikaans. The same thing happens in:

• stoomspuitstuk = steam nozzle
• treinstasie = train station
• kombuistafel = kitchen table

A useful rule: in Afrikaans compounds, the last part is the main noun, and the earlier part describes it.

So kondensasiewater is a kind of water, and stoomspuitstuk is a kind of spuitstuk.

It is another compound noun:

• stoom = steam
• spuitstuk = nozzle / spray head / jet piece

So stoomspuitstuk means steam nozzle.

Depending on the technical context, English might translate it as:

• steam nozzle
• steam jet
• steam outlet

But steam nozzle is the safest straightforward translation.

Both nouns are definite:

• die kondensasiewater = the condensation water
• die stoomspuitstuk = the steam nozzle

Afrikaans uses die as the definite article for:

• singular nouns
• plural nouns
• all grammatical genders

So unlike languages such as German, you do not have different forms like der / die / das. Afrikaans keeps it simple: just die.

Yes, it can, depending on context.

In this sentence, die is clearly the definite article the:

• Die kondensasiewater = The condensation water

But in other contexts, die can also function like those or these, especially when pointing something out.

Here, though, you should read both instances simply as the.

Because uit adds the idea of movement or origin out of / from something.

Compare:

• Die water kom. = The water comes.
  This sounds incomplete in most situations.

• Die water kom uit die pyp. = The water comes out of the pipe.

So in your sentence:

• kom uit die stoomspuitstuk = comes out of the steam nozzle / comes from the steam nozzle

Afrikaans often uses kom uit where English might say either:

• comes out of
• comes from

depending on the context.

Not quite.

• uit usually means out of or from inside
• van usually means from in a broader sense, such as origin, source, possession, or association

In this sentence, uit is the better choice because the water is physically emerging from the nozzle:

• Die kondensasiewater kom uit die stoomspuitstuk.

That gives a more concrete sense of something coming out of an opening.

If you used van, it would sound less physical and often less natural in this specific technical situation.

The sentence follows normal main-clause word order in Afrikaans:

• Die kondensasiewater = subject
• kom = finite verb
• uit die stoomspuitstuk = prepositional phrase

So the pattern is:

• Subject + Verb + Rest

This is very similar to English:

• The condensation water comes from the steam nozzle.

Afrikaans word order becomes more different from English in subordinate clauses, but this sentence is a straightforward main clause.

kom is a very common verb in Afrikaans and can describe something coming from a source.

Here it means something like:

• comes
• comes out
• emerges

You could imagine other verbs in certain contexts:

• vloei = flows
• lek = leaks
• spuit = sprays / spurts

But kom uit is a neutral, natural way to describe something emerging from somewhere.

So this sentence is not necessarily emphasizing how the water moves, only where it comes from.

No. Unlike German, Afrikaans does not capitalize all nouns.

So you write:

• kondensasiewater
• stoomspuitstuk

with lowercase letters, unless the word begins the sentence.

That is why only the first Die is capitalized here: it is the first word of the sentence, not because it is a noun.

A rough English-friendly guide would be:

• kondensasiewater ≈ kon-den-SAH-see-vaah-ter
• stoomspuitstuk ≈ stoam-SPAYT-stuk

A few helpful notes:

• oo in stoom is a long vowel, somewhat like the vowel in more, but not exactly the same.
• ui in spuit is one of the trickier Afrikaans sounds. English does not have an exact equivalent. The rough guide spayt is only approximate.
• w in Afrikaans is pronounced more like English v than English w.

So water in Afrikaans sounds closer to vah-ter than English wah-ter.

Yes, often it can.

In technical English, condensate may be the most natural translation, depending on context.

So the sentence could also be rendered as:

• The condensate comes from the steam nozzle.

That said, if you are learning vocabulary literally, kondensasiewater is transparently condensation water. Whether you choose condensation water or condensate in English depends on how technical or natural you want the translation to sound.

Yes, most likely.

Because it uses die twice, it points to specific, identifiable things:

• the condensation water
• the steam nozzle

In context, this usually means the speaker and listener already know which water and which nozzle are being discussed.

Afrikaans does not use a/an, but ’n would be the indefinite article. So if the sentence were indefinite, it might look different, for example:

• Kondensasiewater kom uit ’n stoomspuitstuk.
  = Condensation water comes out of a steam nozzle.

That would sound more general. Your original sentence sounds specific.
