Usages of die posbus
Ek plak 'n posseël op die koevert en sit dit in die posbus.
I stick a stamp on the envelope and put it in the mailbox.
Toe ons die adres weer gelees het, het ons die brief in die posbus gesit.
When we read the address again, we put the letter in the mailbox.
As die posbus vol is, hou ek die brief tot môre in my sak.
If the mailbox is full, I keep the letter in my pocket until tomorrow.
Ons moet die brief môre in die posbus sit.
We must put the letter in the mailbox tomorrow.
