Ons herbespreek die reis.

Yes. Ons means we.

It is the normal subject pronoun for we in Afrikaans:

• Ons herbespreek die reis. = We re-discuss / rebook the trip.
• Ons gaan môre. = We are going tomorrow.

Unlike English, Afrikaans does not change the verb for we the way English sometimes does with I am / we are / he is. The pronoun stays ons, and the verb form is usually the same regardless of the subject.

Herbespreek is made up of:

• her- = re- / again
• bespreek = discuss or sometimes book / reserve, depending on context

So herbespreek means discuss again, review again, or in some contexts rebook.

The prefix her- is very useful in Afrikaans and often works like English re-:

• herhaal = repeat
• hersien = revise / review
• heropen = reopen

Because the idea of again is already built into the verb herbespreek.

In English, you might say:

• We discuss the trip again
• or We re-discuss the trip

Afrikaans can do the same kind of thing by adding her- to the verb, so you do not need a separate again.

A more everyday alternative can also be:

• Ons bespreek die reis weer.

That also means We discuss the trip again.
So:

• herbespreek = more compact, often a bit more formal
• weer bespreek = very common and transparent to learners

This is the normal main-clause word order in Afrikaans:

subject + verb + object

So:

• Ons = subject
• herbespreek = verb
• die reis = object

That makes the sentence very straightforward.

Compare:

• Ek lees die boek. = I read the book.
• Ons herbespreek die reis. = We re-discuss / rebook the trip.

Afrikaans main clauses are often quite close to English in basic word order.

Here, die means the.

So:

• die reis = the trip / the journey

A useful thing to know is that Afrikaans uses die as the definite article for all nouns. It does not change for gender the way articles do in some other languages.

Examples:

• die man = the man
• die vrou = the woman
• die kind = the child
• die reise = the trips

So in this sentence, die is simply the definite article before reis.

Reis most often means journey or trip, depending on context.

So die reis could be understood as:

• the trip
• the journey

English chooses the most natural word based on context. If the sentence is about travel plans, trip may sound more natural. If it is about a longer movement from one place to another, journey may fit better.

The Afrikaans noun reis is singular here.

No. Afrikaans verbs usually do not change form according to the subject in the present tense.

So you get:

• Ek bespreek
• Jy bespreek
• Hy bespreek
• Ons bespreek

This is much simpler than English, where you have forms like:

• I discuss
• he discusses

In Afrikaans, the same present-tense form usually works with all persons.

A very common past form in Afrikaans is the het + past participle construction.

So:

• Ons herbespreek die reis. = We re-discuss / rebook the trip.
• Ons het die reis herbespreek. = We re-discussed / rebooked the trip.

Notice two things:

1. het is used as the auxiliary.
2. herbespreek stays herbespreek in the participle.

That is because verbs with the prefix her- normally do not take an extra ge- in the participle.

So not:

• Ons het die reis geherbespreek. ❌

But:

• Ons het die reis herbespreek. ✅

Yes, it can, depending on context.

This is something that often surprises English speakers.

For example:

• Ons bespreek die probleem. = We discuss the problem.
• Ons bespreek 'n hotelkamer. = We book a hotel room.

So herbespreek can also have more than one possible English translation:

• discuss again
• review again
• rebook

The noun after the verb usually helps you understand which meaning is intended.

It normally stays together as one word.

That is because her- is a prefix attached directly to the verb. So you get:

• herbespreek
• herhaal
• herskryf

In normal use, you treat it as a single verb.

For example:

• Ons herbespreek die reis.
• Ons het die reis herbespreek.

So this is not like a separable particle verb where part of the verb moves away in the sentence.

A rough English-friendly guide would be:

• Ons ≈ ons / awns
• herbespreek ≈ hair-buh-SPREEK
• die ≈ dee
• reis ≈ race

A few pronunciation tips:

• ee in bespreek is a long vowel, like ay in some accents, but often learners approximate it as ee.
• die is pronounced dee, not like English die.
• reis is usually close to race.

A natural rhythm would be: ONS her-buh-SPREEK dee RACE

Yes, absolutely.

That means essentially the same thing:

• Ons herbespreek die reis.
• Ons bespreek die reis weer.

Both can mean We discuss the trip again.

The difference is mostly one of style:

• herbespreek = compact, slightly more formal or administrative in tone
• weer bespreek = very common and often more conversational

So a learner should understand both.
