Questions & Answers about Titelhouers dra eienaarskap by wyse van verkoopsooreenkomste oor.

Why is oor separated from dra and placed at the end of the sentence?

Because the full verb is oordra, which means to transfer. In Afrikaans, many verbs are separable in main clauses:

• dra ... oor = transfer
• finite verb part goes near the beginning: dra
• the separable part goes to the end: oor

So:

• Titelhouers dra eienaarskap oor. = Title holders transfer ownership.

This is very similar to separable verbs in Dutch and somewhat like German word order.

In an infinitive or after another verb, it usually stays together:

• om eienaarskap oor te dra = to transfer ownership
