Questions & Answers about Die tweede bus is goedkoper.
You generally add -er to the adjective or adverb:
• goedkoop → goedkoper (cheap → cheaper)
• groot → groter (big → bigger)
Minor spelling adjustments may apply if a word ends in a vowel or certain consonant clusters.
Afrikaans uses as for “than.” In a full comparison you would say:
Die tweede bus is goedkoper as die eerste bus.
When the reference (e.g. “the first bus”) is clear from context, you can omit the as-phrase and still be understood.
Approximate pronunciation for an English speaker:
• Die = “dee”
• tweede = “TWAY-də”
• bus = “bus” (short “u” as in “put”)
• is = “is”
• goedkoper = “KHOOHT-kuh-per”
The initial g is pronounced like the “ch” in Scottish “loch” (a voiced velar fricative), somewhat between an English “h” and “g.”
It follows Subject-Verb-Complement, just like English:
1) Subject: Die tweede bus (The second bus)
2) Verb: is (is)
3) Complement: goedkoper (cheaper)
