Questions & Answers about Die berig en die advertensie op dieselfde bladsy gaan oor 'n nuwe winkel in die stad.

Why is die used twice in die berig en die advertensie?

Because both nouns are definite: the report and the advertisement.

In Afrikaans, you usually repeat die before each noun in a list like this:

• die berig en die advertensie
• the report and the advertisement

This is the most natural way to say it.

What is the difference between die and 'n in this sentence?

They are two different articles:

• die = the
• 'n = a / an

So:

• die berig = the report
• die advertensie = the advertisement
• 'n nuwe winkel = a new shop/store

A useful thing to remember is that Afrikaans uses die for both singular and plural definite nouns:

• die winkel = the shop
• die winkels = the shops

Why is 'n written with an apostrophe?
