Questions & Answers about Die bekende dokter werk hier.
Why does the sentence start with die? Does Afrikaans have different words for the like Dutch or German?
In this sentence, die means the.
A helpful thing about Afrikaans is that the definite article is very simple: die is used for the in almost all cases. It does not change for gender, number, or case.
So:
- die dokter = the doctor
- die man = the man
- die vrou = the woman
- die dokters = the doctors
This is much simpler than Dutch or German, where articles change more.
Why is it bekende and not just bekend?
