Questions & Answers about Op watter bladsy van die tydskrif is die artikel oor die nuwe museum?

Why does the sentence start with Op watter bladsy instead of just Watter bladsy?

Because Afrikaans usually uses the preposition that belongs with the noun.

Here, op ... bladsy means on ... page, so when you ask the question, you keep op:

• op watter bladsy = on which page

This is very similar to English, where you would naturally say On which page... ? or more casually Which page... on?

So Op watter bladsy is the normal and correct way to ask this.

What does watter mean, and how is it used?

Watter means which.

It is used to ask someone to choose or identify one thing from a set:

• Watter boek? = Which book?
• Watter bladsy? = Which page?

In this sentence:

• Op watter bladsy ... ? = On which page ... ?

So watter works very much like English which.

Why is the word order is die artikel instead of die artikel is?
