Dag almal

Nee, Ron, vir is 'n voorsetsel, en voor is 'n adverb (?) wat plek aandui.

Voorbeelde:

Ek sit altyd voor in die bus om eerste by die huis te kom.
Kom staan hier voor my dan maak ek jou knope vas.

Ek het vir my suster rose gekoop.
Hulle het vir my die storie vertel.

Groete
Elsie Z

Subject: a linguistic problem

My question is: What is the difference in using the preposition "vir" and
"voor" in Afrikaans?
I hope some of you might answer me. Thank you. Sincerely, Thea Rønsby,
Denmark

Hov, Thea!

Jeg byder Deg i enhvers navn velkommen.  Dis lekker om jou op Lowlands-L te
ontmoed.

Ek het tot nog toe nie geweet nie, dat in Afrikaans die woorde "vir" en
"voor" semanties gedeeltelik saamval kan.  Ek het geloof, dat _for_ "vir" en
_before_ "voor" is (maar albei _voor_ in Nederlands).  Jou navraag het my
baie nuuskierig gemaak.

Hilsen,
Reinhard/Ron
