Boudewijn, i'm not suprised you know those words, since Afrikaans is a combination of Dutch, German, French and English, all mashed in to one language by the "Voortrekkers" the first white settlers to move inland from the european colonized coast of Southern Africa. I've got German and Dutch heritage, Buitendag goes back to Germany, and one of my great grandmothers was Dutch. And my mother's side is Irish, nice combination hey, and people stil wonder where i get my stubborn nature from, go figure! I'm a whiskey drinking, beer lover of a tradesman.
