Beste Liza

Subject: LL-L "Idiomatica"

> I don't know if it's just the way I speak Afrikaans, but I would use
"baie"
> for nearly every example you gave:

Pardon the interjection, Liza, but Ron is surely referring to hyperbole
here. I also would simply refer to all of the following in terms of 'baie',
but for - oordrewing nê? - I would say,

 baie boeke - 'n stapel boeke
baie mense - 'n trop mense
baie sake / baie dinge / baie goeters - 'n moeras sake? dinge / goeters vir
Afrika!
baie materiaal / baie klere - pakhuise vol materiaal / kaste klere
'n spul nonsens
baie tale / 'n Babel se tale
baie werk / hope werk

> On a personal note, I'd like to share with the list that I have been
> accepted to study linguistics at the University of Texas this coming
> semester!

Geluk, Liza, en aanhou wen!

Die Uwe,
Mark
