Questions & Answers about Die onderhoud is môre.

Is Die pronounced like the English word die?

No. In Afrikaans, die is usually pronounced like dee.

So in this sentence, Die onderhoud is môre starts with a dee sound, not the English die sound.

What does die mean here?

Here, die means the.

It is the Afrikaans definite article. Unlike English, where the is the only definite article, Afrikaans also mainly uses just one common form: die.

Why is Die capitalized?

It is capitalized because it is the first word of the sentence.

If it appeared in the middle of a sentence, it would normally be written as die, not Die.

Does die change for gender, like in some other languages?

No. Afrikaans does not have different definite articles for masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns.

So whether the noun is singular or plural, and whatever its gender might have been historically, you normally use die for the.

That makes Afrikaans simpler than languages like German or Dutch in this area.
