Ons kom môre by die stasie aan.

Because aankom is a separable verb in Afrikaans, meaning to arrive.

In a main clause, the verb splits:

• kom goes into the normal verb position
• aan moves to the end

So:

• Ons kom môre by die stasie aan. = We arrive at the station tomorrow.

You can think of it as:

• dictionary form: aankom
• main-clause form: kom ... aan

This is similar to separable verbs in Dutch and German.

In Afrikaans, aankom is the normal everyday verb for arrive.

Its base form is written as one word:

• aankom = to arrive

But in a normal statement, it separates:

• Ek kom aan. = I arrive / I am arriving
• Ons kom môre aan. = We arrive tomorrow

So kom ... aan is not two separate ideas. Together they make the meaning arrive.

Because in a standard main clause, Afrikaans puts the finite verb in second position.

With the separable verb aankom, the conjugated part is kom, so that is the part that appears near the beginning:

• Ons kom ... aan

You would use aankom as one word in other structures, for example:

• after another verb
• in an infinitive phrase

For example:

• Ons wil môre by die stasie aankom. = We want to arrive at the station tomorrow.

So:

• main clause: Ons kom ... aan
• infinitive form: aankom

Here by means at.

So:

• by die stasie = at the station

With aankom, Afrikaans often uses by to show the place where someone arrives:

• Sy kom by die huis aan. = She arrives at the house/home.

English sometimes uses arrive at and sometimes arrive in, depending on the place. Afrikaans commonly uses by for the destination in this kind of sentence.

Yes. die here means the.

So:

• die stasie = the station

Afrikaans uses die as the definite article for all nouns, unlike languages that have different forms for masculine, feminine, or neuter nouns. That makes it simpler than in many other languages.

môre means tomorrow.

In this sentence it comes after the verb:

• Ons kom môre by die stasie aan.

That is a very natural position for a time expression in Afrikaans.

You can also move time expressions for emphasis, for example:

• Môre kom ons by die stasie aan.

But the original sentence is a very normal, neutral word order.

Grammatically, kom is present tense, but with môre the sentence clearly refers to the future.

Afrikaans often uses the present tense to talk about the future when the time is clear:

• Ek gaan later huis toe. = I’m going home later.
• Ons kom môre aan. = We arrive tomorrow / We’re arriving tomorrow.

So even though the verb form is present, the meaning is future because of môre.

Yes. That is also correct.

• Ons kom môre by die stasie aan. = a natural, straightforward future statement
• Ons sal môre by die stasie aankom. = We will arrive at the station tomorrow

The version with sal is a more explicit future form. The version without sal is often very common in everyday Afrikaans when the time expression already shows the future.

Notice that with sal, the verb stays together in the infinitive:

• sal ... aankom

Môre is pronounced roughly like MOH-ruh, with the stress on the first syllable.

A few useful notes:

• ô is a long vowel sound
• the final -e is a light uh sound

So it does not sound exactly like English more.

Stasie is pronounced roughly STAA-see-uh.

A simple guide:

• sta- sounds like stah
• -sie often sounds like see-uh in careful pronunciation

So:

• stasie ≈ STAH-see-uh

Depending on accent and speed, the final part may sound a little shorter.

In standard Afrikaans, ons means we or us, depending on its role in the sentence.

Here it is the subject, so it means we:

• Ons kom ... = We arrive ...

Examples:

• Ons sien die trein. = We see the train.
• Hulle sien ons. = They see us.

So the same form ons can mean we or us.

A useful way to break it down is:

• Ons = subject
• kom = finite verb
• môre = time expression
• by die stasie = place
• aan = separable verb particle

So the pattern is roughly:

Subject + verb + time + place + particle

That gives:

• Ons kom môre by die stasie aan.

This is a very typical Afrikaans sentence structure for a main clause with a separable verb.
