Die terreinplan wys die eiendomsgrens.

In Afrikaans, die is the definite article for both singular and plural nouns in most everyday use. It covers English the.

So in this sentence:

• die terreinplan = the site plan
• die eiendomsgrens = the property boundary

Unlike English learners of languages such as German or Dutch might expect, Afrikaans does not change the for gender.

Yes. Afrikaans very often writes compound nouns as one word.

So:

• terrein = site / ground / area
• plan = plan

Together, terreinplan means site plan.

This is very normal in Afrikaans. English often writes similar ideas as two words, but Afrikaans commonly joins them.

For the same reason: it is a compound noun.

• eiendom = property
• grens = border / boundary

Together, eiendomsgrens means property boundary or property line.

A useful thing to notice is that the first noun sometimes changes slightly when joined to another noun. Here eiendom becomes eiendoms- in the compound.

Afrikaans verbs usually do not change much according to the subject. That is much simpler than English.

For example:

• Ek wys = I show
• Jy wys = you show
• Die plan wys = the plan shows

So wys stays wys. You do not get forms like English show/shows.

The sentence follows normal main-clause word order:

Subject + Verb + Object

• Die terreinplan = subject
• wys = verb
• die eiendomsgrens = object

So it is very similar to English in structure:

The site plan shows the property boundary.

Usually wys means show, point out, or indicate, depending on context.

In a sentence like this, wys can be understood as:

• shows
• indicates
• sometimes marks

So a plan can wys a boundary in the sense that it displays or indicates where it is.

Wys is pronounced roughly like English vace but with the Afrikaans w sound, or more accurately something like vays.

A rough guide for the whole sentence is:

duh tuh-RINE-plan vase duh AY-en-doms-grens

That is only approximate, but it can help you get started. The w in Afrikaans is usually pronounced more like an English v sound.

Afrikaans often expresses this idea with a compound noun instead of using an apostrophe construction like English.

So instead of something like the boundary of the property, Afrikaans naturally uses:

eiendomsgrens

This is very common and natural in Afrikaans. Compounds are one of the most important patterns to get used to.

Yes. In many contexts, property boundary and property line are both good translations.

Which English version sounds best depends on context:

• legal or formal context: property boundary
• everyday real-estate or land context: property line

The Afrikaans word itself works well for both.

Yes, that would normally be considered incorrect in standard Afrikaans.

These should be written as single compound nouns:

• terreinplan
• eiendomsgrens

Afrikaans spelling strongly prefers joining compound nouns into one word.

Yes. Wys here is present tense, so the sentence means that the site plan shows or indicates the property boundary.

Afrikaans present tense is often quite simple because the verb form usually stays the same. Context tells you whether it is a general truth, a current fact, or something shown on a document.
