Hi all, <br>
<br>
Paul, more Afrikaans/EnglishAfrikaans include:<br>
<br>
-Ja, no, well, fine ('whatever') <br>
-Hoesit (how's it?) <br>
-Ja, nee <br>
-Swaer ('bro', 'dude')<br>
<br>
and of course many profanities such as k*k (faeces). <br>
<br>
I've recently seen an upsurge of Afrikaans forms in some
English newspapers in cases where government is reprimanded, for
instance 'they better remove their oogklappe' (The Star).<br>
<br>
This mode of using Afrikaans as preferred language
for negative discourse was quite typical between the 1970s and
1990s and used to great effect by white non-Afrikaans speakers to
make racist remarks at blacks. <br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">However
I remember workingin East London where little Afrikaans was spoken ("You
live in Pretoria?
how dounderstand them Afrikaners?"). Yet their English was
punctuated withAfrikaans expressions - "jy weet?", "nee,
man" and mostsentences ended with "ek se" (can't do the
circumflex accent). </span></p>
