Questions & Answers about Die intekening bevat 'n databundel.
Why does the sentence start with Die?
Die is the definite article in Afrikaans, usually meaning the in English.
So Die intekening means the subscription.
A useful thing to know is that Afrikaans uses die for all nouns in the singular definite form, regardless of gender. Unlike some other languages, you do not have to learn different words for the based on masculine, feminine, or neuter nouns.
Why is there an apostrophe in 'n?
'n is the Afrikaans indefinite article, meaning a or an.
The apostrophe is part of the normal spelling, so it should always be written as 'n, not just n.
A few important points:
- It is normally written with a lowercase n, even at the beginning of a sentence.
- If it begins a sentence, the next word is usually capitalized, not 'n itself.
- In pronunciation, 'n is usually very weak, like a schwa sound, similar to the unstressed a in English about.
So 'n databundel means a data bundle.
