Questions & Answers about Ons handig die vorm vandag in.

Why is in at the end of the sentence?

Because inhandig is a separable verb in Afrikaans.

The full verb is inhandig = to hand in / submit.
In a normal main clause, the conjugated part goes to the usual verb position, and the particle in moves to the end:

• Ons handig die vorm vandag in.

But when the verb is used as an infinitive, it usually stays together:

• Ons moet die vorm vandag inhandig.

So handig ... in is not two unrelated words here; it is one verb split into two parts.

Is handig by itself also a word?

Yes. Handig can exist by itself, but in this sentence it is part of the separable verb inhandig.

So here:

• handig ... in = submit / hand in

Do not read it as just handig plus a separate preposition. The meaning comes from the whole verb.

Does in here mean the same thing as English in?
