Die sny op my vinger bloei nog.

Yes — sny can be both:

• a verb: to cut
• a noun: a cut

In Die sny op my vinger bloei nog, sny is a noun, meaning the cut.

This kind of verb/noun overlap is common in Afrikaans. You tell which one it is from the sentence structure:

• Ek sny brood. = I cut bread. → verb
• Die sny is diep. = The cut is deep. → noun

So here, die sny means the cut.

Die is the definite article in Afrikaans, meaning the.

So:

• die sny = the cut
• 'n sny = a cut

Afrikaans uses die for all genders and for both singular and plural definite nouns, so it is much simpler than languages that have different forms for masculine, feminine, or neuter nouns.

In this sentence, die is used because we are talking about a specific cut — the one on my finger.

In Afrikaans, possessive words like my, jou, sy, haar, ons, julle, hulle go directly before the noun:

• my vinger = my finger
• jou hand = your hand
• sy arm = his arm

So my vinger is the normal way to say my finger.

die vinger van my would sound unnatural in ordinary Afrikaans.
You can sometimes use van-phrases for possession, but not in this simple personal-possessive case.

Also, myne is not the normal form before a noun. It is more like mine in English, used on its own:

• Dit is myne. = That is mine.

Here op literally means on:

• op my vinger = on my finger

That matches English quite closely in this sentence.

Afrikaans often uses prepositions in ways that are very similar to English, but not always. In this case, the cut on my finger becomes die sny op my vinger.

A learner might wonder about aan my vinger. That would usually mean something more like at/to my finger and is not the natural choice here.

So for this sentence, op my vinger is the idiomatic way to express the location of the cut.

Because Afrikaans does not normally use a separate verb like is to form the present continuous.

English says:

• is bleeding

Afrikaans usually just uses the simple present:

• bloei = bleeds / is bleeding

So:

• Die sny bloei. can mean The cut bleeds or The cut is bleeding, depending on context.

This is very common in Afrikaans. Compare:

• Ek eet nou. = I am eating now.
• Sy slaap. = She is sleeping.

Afrikaans often relies on context or time words like nou or nog instead of a special -ing form.

Bloei means to bleed.

In this sentence it is the main verb:

• Die sny ... bloei nog. = The cut ... is still bleeding.

A few useful related forms:

• bloei = bleed / bleeding
• gebloei = bled

Examples:

• My neus bloei. = My nose is bleeding.
• Die wond het baie gebloei. = The wound bled a lot.

Here nog means still.

So:

• bloei nog = is still bleeding

This is a very common Afrikaans word, but it can have several meanings depending on context, such as:

• still
• yet
• another / more

In this sentence, the meaning is clearly still — the bleeding has not stopped.

Compare:

• Hy slaap nog. = He is still sleeping.
• Is jy nog hier? = Are you still here?
• Wil jy nog koffie hê? = Do you want more coffee?

In a simple main clause, Afrikaans often places short adverbs like nog after the verb or near the end of the clause.

So:

• Die sny op my vinger bloei nog.

This sounds natural and idiomatic.

If you are coming from English, you may expect still earlier in the sentence, but Afrikaans often places nog later.

Compare:

• Ek wag nog. = I am still waiting.
• Sy werk nog. = She is still working.

The position of nog can sometimes vary for emphasis, but the version in your sentence is the normal one.

Yes. The standard order here is:

• Die sny = subject
• op my vinger = phrase describing which cut
• bloei = verb
• nog = adverb

So the sentence is:

• Die sny op my vinger bloei nog.

That is the most natural neutral order.

You could move some parts around in Afrikaans for emphasis, but then the sentence may sound marked or less natural to a learner. For example, putting op my vinger somewhere else may be grammatically possible in some contexts, but the original order is the one you should learn first.

Yes. A very common alternative is snit, which also means cut.

So you might also hear:

• Die snit op my vinger bloei nog.

However, sny as a noun is perfectly understandable and common in everyday language.

Another related word is:

• wond = wound

But wond is broader and not exactly the same as cut. A sny/snit is specifically a cut, while a wond could be many kinds of injury.

Bloei is roughly pronounced like bloo-ay in English-style approximation, but said smoothly as one word.

A rough breakdown:

• bl as in blue
• oei is a vowel combination that may feel unfamiliar at first

Do not pronounce it like English bloy or blue-ee in two clearly separate parts. It is smoother than that.

If you already know Dutch, it may look familiar. If not, it is best to listen to native audio a few times and copy the rhythm.

That is the natural meaning, yes.

Because die sny is the subject, the sentence focuses on the cut, not on the finger itself.

So the meaning is specifically:

• there is a cut
• that cut is on my finger
• it is still bleeding

If you wanted to focus more on the finger, you would phrase it differently. But in this sentence, the grammar makes the cut the main topic.
