Ons wag ongeveer tien minute.

Here, ons means we.

A useful extra point: in Afrikaans, ons can mean both we and us, so the form does not change the way it does in English.

Usually, no. In Afrikaans, present-tense verbs generally do not change for person or number.

So you get:

• ek wag = I wait
• jy wag = you wait
• ons wag = we wait
• hulle wag = they wait

This is much simpler than English, where you have forms like I wait but he waits.

Yes. Wag is the normal Afrikaans verb for wait.

It is also related historically to English wait, so it is an easy word to recognize.

A helpful distinction:

• wag vir die bus = wait for the bus
• wag tien minute = wait ten minutes

So wag can be used both with something you are waiting for and with a duration.

Because Afrikaans usually expresses a length of time without a preposition here.

So:

• Ons wag tien minute = We wait for ten minutes

But when you are waiting for a person or thing, Afrikaans normally uses vir:

• Ons wag vir die dokter = We are waiting for the doctor

So in this sentence, tien minute is the amount of time, not the thing being waited for.

Ongeveer means about or approximately.

It comes before the number or amount it modifies:

• ongeveer tien minute = about ten minutes
• ongeveer vyf uur = about five hours

That placement is normal and natural in Afrikaans.

Because minuut is singular, and minute is plural.

• een minuut = one minute
• tien minute = ten minutes

After a number like tien, you use the plural form. So minute is correct here.

Grammatically, it is in the present tense: Ons wag ...

But in Afrikaans, the present tense is often used for several meanings depending on context, including:

• a general present: We wait
• a current action: We are waiting
• a near-future idea: We’ll wait

If you want to make the future very explicit, you can say:

• Ons sal ongeveer tien minute wag = We will wait about ten minutes

Because in a normal Afrikaans main clause, the finite verb usually comes in the second position.

So with Ons first, wag comes next:

• Ons wag ongeveer tien minute

This is the most neutral word order.

If another element comes first, the verb still stays second:

• Vandag wag ons ongeveer tien minute = Today we are waiting about ten minutes

That verb-second pattern is an important feature of Afrikaans.

No. Ons wag ongeveer tien minute is already complete and natural.

You can also say:

• Ons wag ongeveer tien minute lank

That version puts a little more emphasis on the duration, but it is not required. In everyday Afrikaans, the shorter sentence is perfectly normal.
