Dagse, almal :)

Op hierdie webforum http://masterrussian.net/mforum/viewtopic.php\?t=1662&start=15
het ek die volgende gevind:

QUOT:It was a remark on your "Who said Russian was a powerful language in terms
of diminutives? Well, here's its rival, Afrikaans." UNQUOT
and further:
QUOT: Afrikaans beats many other languages not because it has diminutive suffixes
as such for quite many languages have them as you have rightly pointed out, but
by the fact that it allows its speakers to add diminutives to verbs which is
sooooo cool and I bet it gives its speakers a dimension totally unknown in many
other languages.UNQUOT

Elsie, Ria, Mark, Marcel--Is dit WAAR?
Nerens het ek van die verkleinvorme van werkwoorde gehoor...
Vek zhivi--vek uchis'; durakom pomresh. Ja, Ron?

Dankie vir almal by voorbaat.

Die Uwe
