Die klein kam waarmee ek my hare kam, lê nog in die badkamer.

A very helpful way to read it is to spot the main clause first and then the describing clause inside it.

• Main clause: Die klein kam lê nog in die badkamer.
• Describing relative clause: waarmee ek my hare kam

So the full sentence is:

Die klein kam + waarmee ek my hare kam + lê nog in die badkamer.

If you remove the middle part, you get:

Die klein kam lê nog in die badkamer.

That makes it easier to see that lê is the main verb of the whole sentence.

Waarmee means with which.

So:

• die klein kam waarmee ek my hare kam = the small comb with which I comb my hair

Afrikaans often uses waar- compounds for things after prepositions:

• waarin = in which
• waarop = on which
• waarmee = with which
• waarvoor = for which

This is very common and natural Afrikaans.

Because waarmee ek my hare kam is a subordinate clause. In Afrikaans, subordinate clauses usually send the finite verb to the end.

So:

• Main clause: Ek kam my hare.
• Relative/subordinate clause: waarmee ek my hare kam

This same pattern happens with other subordinate clauses too:

• omdat ek my hare kam
• dat ek my hare kam

So the final kam is completely normal.

Because kam can be both:

• a noun: a comb
• a verb: to comb

So in this sentence:

• die klein kam = the small comb
• ek my hare kam = I comb my hair

English has similar cases too, where one word can be both a noun and a verb.

In Afrikaans, hare is often used when talking about the hair on someone’s head.

So:

• my hare kam = to comb my hair

Even though English usually uses singular hair in this meaning, Afrikaans often uses the plural hare.

Also, my here means my in the possessive sense, not me. You can tell because it comes before the noun hare.

Lê means something like lies, is lying, or more naturally in English here, is in the sense of being located while lying flat.

Afrikaans often uses position verbs where English would just use is:

• lê = lie
• staan = stand
• sit = sit

A comb would normally lê, because it is thought of as lying flat somewhere.

So:

• Die kam lê in die badkamer = The comb is in the bathroom / The comb is lying in the bathroom

Here nog means still.

So:

• lê nog in die badkamer = is still in the bathroom

This tells you the comb has not been moved.

A useful related expression is nog nie, which means not yet:

• Dit is nog nie klaar nie. = It is not finished yet.

So in a positive sentence like this one, nog usually means still.

The comma marks the end of the inserted relative clause:

• waarmee ek my hare kam

After that, the sentence returns to the main clause with lê nog in die badkamer.

So the comma helps show the structure:

• Die klein kam
• waarmee ek my hare kam,
• lê nog in die badkamer.

Afrikaans uses commas with subordinate clauses more regularly than English learners may expect.

Yes, you very often can.

A common alternative is:

Die klein kam wat ek my hare mee kam, lê nog in die badkamer.

That also means the small comb that I comb my hair with.

So:

• waarmee is compact and very standard
• wat ... mee is also common, especially in everyday speech

Both patterns are useful to recognize.

Because in Afrikaans, many common short adjectives stay unchanged before a noun.

So:

• die klein kam = the small comb
• die groot huis = the big house

Afrikaans adjective patterns are simpler than in languages like Dutch or German, but they are not completely uniform. Some adjectives do take -e in front of a noun, especially many longer ones, such as:

• interessante boek = interesting book

But klein is correctly just klein here.

Yes.

• die = the
• badkamer = bathroom
• in die badkamer = in the bathroom

So this ending is very straightforward. The full final part:

• lê nog in die badkamer = is still in the bathroom

It simply tells you where the comb is.
