Die voorskrif is ná die inenting gereed.

Here voorskrif most naturally means prescription, especially in a medical context.

A useful note: voorskrif can also mean regulation, instruction, or directive in other contexts. So the exact meaning depends on what the sentence is about.

Because die is the Afrikaans definite article meaning the.

Unlike English learners may expect from some other languages, Afrikaans does not change the definite article for:

• gender
• case
• most number distinctions

So both die voorskrif and die inenting simply mean the prescription and the vaccination.

In a normal Afrikaans main clause, the finite verb usually comes early, typically in second position.

So the basic pattern here is:

• Die voorskrif = subject
• is = finite verb
• ná die inenting gereed = the rest of the sentence

This is very typical Afrikaans word order.

Because gereed is a predicate adjective after the verb is.

In English we say is ready. Afrikaans works similarly:

• is = is
• gereed = ready

It appears at the end here simply because nothing else comes after it. It is not a special “adjective ending” position; it is just the last part of the predicate in this sentence.

It is a prepositional phrase giving time.

• ná = after
• die inenting = the vaccination / the inoculation

So this phrase tells you when the prescription is ready.

The accent helps show the intended meaning and stress.

In Afrikaans, ná is often written with an acute accent when the writer wants to make the meaning after especially clear or stressed. You may also see na written without the accent in many contexts.

So for a learner, a good practical rule is:

• ná = clearly after
• na can appear in other uses such as to/towards, and sometimes also without stress where context explains it

Not quite.

Inenting specifically refers to vaccination or inoculation. It is more specific than just any shot or injection.

For comparison:

• inenting = vaccination / inoculation
• inspuiting = injection / shot more generally

It can mean both, depending on context.

Common uses:

• gereed = ready
• gereed = finished / completed

In this sentence, ready is the natural meaning: the prescription is ready after the vaccination.

Yes. That is very natural Afrikaans.

You could say:

Ná die inenting is die voorskrif gereed.

Notice what happens:

• the time phrase moves to the front
• the finite verb is still comes in second position

That verb-second pattern is very important in Afrikaans.

It comes from the verb inent, meaning to vaccinate / inoculate, plus the noun ending -ing.

So:

• inent = vaccinate
• inenting = vaccination / inoculation

This is a useful pattern in Afrikaans, because -ing often forms nouns from verbs.

In this sentence, gereed stays unchanged because it is used after the verb as a predicate adjective.

Afrikaans adjectives often behave differently depending on position:

• before a noun: they may take an ending
• after a linking verb like is: they usually stay in their basic form

So here:

• Die voorskrif is gereed = correct

That is why you see plain gereed, not a changed form.
