Questions & Answers about Ons trek môre in.
Because intrek is a separable verb in Afrikaans.
- The full dictionary form is intrek, meaning to move in.
- In a main clause, it often splits:
- Ons trek môre in.
- In some other structures, it stays together:
- Ons wil môre intrek.
- Om môre in te trek is opwindend.
This is similar to separable verbs in Dutch and German. So in your sentence, trek is the verb part and in moves to the end.
Yes. Trek on its own has several meanings, depending on context, including:
- pull
- travel / migrate / move
- put on in some expressions, such as clothing
So:
- Ons trek môre in = We move in tomorrow
- But trek alone does not automatically mean move in.
It is the combination intrek / trek in that gives that meaning here.
