Kom ons maak dit Sondag.

Kom ons is a very common Afrikaans way to say let’s ....

So:

• Kom ons maak dit Sondag. = Let’s do it on Sunday.

Literally, kom means come, but in this expression it does not mean physical movement. It works like an invitation or suggestion: come, let us ... → let’s ...

You will often see this pattern:

• Kom ons gaan. = Let’s go.
• Kom ons begin. = Let’s start.
• Kom ons kyk. = Let’s see.

Because kom ons is an idiomatic expression. Afrikaans uses come in the same kind of way English sometimes does in older or more emphatic phrases like Come on, let’s go.

In everyday Afrikaans, kom ons simply functions as let’s. You usually should not translate kom separately in this construction.

Yes, maak literally means make, but in Afrikaans it is also used in a wider range of expressions than English make.

In maak dit Sondag, the sense is closer to:

• make it Sunday
• do it on Sunday
• let’s set it for Sunday

So this is a natural Afrikaans way to propose a day.

Dit means it.

In this sentence, it refers to whatever plan, event, meeting, or action has already been talked about. So maak dit Sondag means something like:

• make it Sunday
• let’s do it Sunday
• let’s schedule it for Sunday

If the context is clear, Afrikaans often uses dit just like English uses it.

Afrikaans often does not need a preposition before days of the week when talking about when something happens.

So:

• Sondag = Sunday / on Sunday

That means Kom ons maak dit Sondag naturally means Let’s do it on Sunday.

This is similar to English, where we can also sometimes say Let’s do it Sunday without on.

Yes, but it usually means something slightly different.

• Sondag often refers to this coming Sunday / Sunday as the chosen day
• op Sondag can mean on Sundays or simply on Sunday, depending on context

In a sentence about arranging a specific plan, Sondag by itself is very natural:

• Kom ons maak dit Sondag.

If you said Kom ons maak dit op Sondag, it might sound a bit more marked or less direct in ordinary conversation, depending on context.

Because kom ons is a fixed way to form a suggestion.

The structure is:

• Kom ons
  • main verb + rest of sentence

So:

• Kom ons maak dit Sondag.

If you say Ons kom maak dit Sondag, that would normally mean something more literal like We are coming to do/make it on Sunday, which is a different idea.

Yes. Afrikaans word order can be flexible, especially with time expressions.

These are all possible depending on emphasis:

• Kom ons maak dit Sondag.
• Kom ons maak Sondag dit. — less natural in most contexts
• Sondag maak ons dit. — more like We’ll do it Sunday
• Kom ons doen dit Sondag. — also very natural

For this exact meaning, Kom ons maak dit Sondag is a normal and idiomatic choice.

Yes, often you can.

• Kom ons doen dit Sondag. = Let’s do it Sunday.
• Kom ons maak dit Sondag. = Let’s make it Sunday / Let’s do it Sunday.

The difference is small here:

• doen focuses more on doing
• maak can sound more like arranging, setting, or making it be Sunday

In many real conversations, both are possible, but maak dit Sondag is especially natural when deciding on the day.

Yes. In Afrikaans, days of the week are capitalized:

• Maandag
• Dinsdag
• Woensdag
• Donderdag
• Vrydag
• Saterdag
• Sondag

So Sondag must be written with a capital S.

A rough English-friendly pronunciation would be:

• Kom ≈ khom / kom
• ons ≈ ons
• maak ≈ mahk
• dit ≈ dut or dit with a short vowel
• Sondag ≈ SON-dukh or SON-dahkh

A more helpful rhythm is:

• Kom ons MAAK dit SONdag.

The g in Sondag is not like an English g in go. In Afrikaans it is usually a throaty sound, similar to the ch in Scottish loch or German Bach.
