Ons fokus nie soseer op drukknoppe nie, maar op taakverdeling.

Afrikaans often uses double negation. In this sentence, the pattern is:

nie soseer ... nie, maar ...

This means something like not so much ... but rather ....

So:

• nie soseer op drukknoppe nie = not so much on push-buttons
• maar op taakverdeling = but on division of tasks

The second nie closes the negative part of the sentence. This is very normal in Afrikaans.

Soseer means so much, particularly, or to such an extent depending on context.

In the expression nie soseer ... nie, maar ..., it helps create the idea:

• not so much X, but Y
• less X, more Y

So nie soseer op drukknoppe nie, maar op taakverdeling means the focus is not really on push-buttons, but rather on task division.

Yes, it is a very common structure in Afrikaans.

It is used when you want to correct or refine what the real emphasis is:

• nie soseer X nie, maar Y
• not so much X, but Y

Examples:

• Dit gaan nie soseer oor geld nie, maar oor tyd.
  = It is not so much about money, but about time.
• Sy is nie soseer kwaad nie, maar teleurgesteld.
  = She is not so much angry, but disappointed.

So in your sentence, the speaker is shifting the emphasis from drukknoppe to taakverdeling.

In Afrikaans, the verb fokus commonly goes with the preposition op when it takes an object.

• fokus op iets = focus on something

So:

• Ons fokus op taakverdeling.
• We focus on task division.

This is similar to English focus on.

Because both parts of the contrast need it:

• op drukknoppe
• op taakverdeling

The sentence is contrasting two things after the same preposition:

• not so much on push-buttons
• but on task division

Afrikaans often repeats the preposition in this kind of contrast. It sounds natural and clear.

Drukknoppe is the plural of drukknop.

It is made up of:

• druk = press
• knop = button

So drukknop literally means push-button or button that you press.

Depending on context, it could refer to literal buttons, controls, or sometimes the more surface/mechanical side of something.

Taakverdeling is a compound noun:

• taak = task
• verdeling = division / distribution

So taakverdeling means division of tasks, distribution of tasks, or allocation of duties.

Afrikaans uses compounds very often, just like Dutch and German, so learners should get used to long nouns made from smaller parts.

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

• Subject + verb + rest

So:

• Ons = subject
• fokus = verb

That gives:

• Ons fokus ...
• We focus ...

Afrikaans main clauses usually keep the finite verb in the second position, and when the subject comes first, the verb follows it directly.

The standard Afrikaans verb is fokus.

Examples:

• Ek fokus op my werk.
• Ons fokus op die probleem.

It is a shorter form than English focus used as a verb, and it behaves like a normal Afrikaans verb.

Present tense:

• ek fokus
• jy fokus
• ons fokus

Afrikaans verbs do not change much from person to person, which makes them easier than English in that respect.

Yes, that is a very close translation.

More natural English versions might be:

• We focus not so much on buttons, but on the division of tasks.
• We focus less on buttons and more on task division.
• Our focus is not so much on buttons as on task division.

All of these capture the same contrast.

Afrikaans often leaves out articles where English might also leave them out, especially in more general statements.

Here the nouns are being used in a general sense:

• drukknoppe = push-buttons / buttons in general
• taakverdeling = task division as a concept

If you wanted to make them more specific, you could add an article or other determiner, depending on context.

Yes. Maar normally means but.

In this sentence, it introduces the correction or contrast:

• nie soseer ... nie, maar ...
• not so much ..., but ...

So maar is doing exactly what but does in English.

Yes, that would be possible, but the emphasis changes slightly.

Original:

• Ons fokus nie soseer op drukknoppe nie, maar op taakverdeling.

This first mentions what is not the main focus, and then gives the real focus.

Alternative:

• Ons fokus op taakverdeling, nie soseer op drukknoppe nie.

This starts with the real focus and then adds a clarifying contrast. Both are understandable, but the original is often better when you want a neat not X, but Y structure.

A very useful takeaway is this pattern:

nie soseer X nie, maar Y

It means:

not so much X, but Y

And another useful point is:

fokus op iets = focus on something

So this sentence is a good model for expressing contrast and emphasis in Afrikaans.
