Questions & Answers about Die diensverskaffer stuur 'n kennisgewing wanneer die intekening se databundel opraak.

Why does Afrikaans use 'n for a/an, and why is it written with an apostrophe?

'n is the Afrikaans indefinite article, equivalent to English a/an.

The apostrophe is simply part of the normal spelling. A few useful points:

• 'n is always written in lowercase, even at the beginning of a sentence.
• If it starts a sentence, the next word is capitalized, not 'n itself.
• In careful writing, it is usually unstressed in speech.

So in 'n kennisgewing, it means a notification.

What does diensverskaffer mean, and why is it one long word?

Diensverskaffer means service provider.

It is made up of:

• diens = service
• verskaffer = provider/supplier

Afrikaans, like Dutch and German, very often forms compound nouns as a single word. So where English writes service provider as two words, Afrikaans commonly writes diensverskaffer as one.
