I have a few mates from S. Africa and I do can communicate with them, but just like when I speak with Belgium's that use flemish, or people that speak Dutch accents from the north, it is equivalent hard.
The languages are very simular, however, when listening to German it is a lot more difficult to communicate, but I've tried to talk the whole day only Dutch to germans when i made a visit and they did understand me, but not in the extend a African or Belgium would understand me.
German and Afrikaans!? no that is not possible, even the Dutchmen and Germans cannot understand eachother completely. ROugh means Right...?? that dont sound dutch
I'm Dutch and i've bin to South Africa. I could understand Afrikaans (: But i laughed like all the time couse it sounds like baby Dutch haha. Loved it (:

The Germans have nothing to do with south-africa!!!
The Netherlands do.
When the Dutch people arrived there they took the place and learned the african the Dutch language. But Dutch changed a lot but Dutch people can understand the old Dutch.
@TheJesperAble a bold statement my friend :-) The germans infact settled namibia (old south west Africa) and some Boers/ Afrikaners are decendants of German and even french. Afrikans is of course a kind of creole Dutch, but has a few words of German, English and French. Just poiting out that Germans did have something to do with south Afrika :-)
Ik kan Afrikaans redelijk goed verstaan, en geschreven begrijp ik het volledig zoals elke Nederlander. Het klinkt als een geweldig taaltje! Ik vind het gaaf dat Nederlands zo divers gesproken word, en tot enkele aparte talen heeft geleid (Fries en Afrikaans).

so why is it such a revelation that dutch people understand afrikaans? You do know south-afrika was a part of the Kindom of The Netherland for a long time, and what today has become known as afrikaans, is more or less a dialect from dutch, which generally is very wel understood by the dutch.
@tom53332 Actually, until the 1960's Afrikaans was called Dutch. So the people in South Africa were speaking Dutch and not their own 'language'. It was named something else and that name was Afrikaans. Before that it was just Dutch and yes we understand it =D
@southafricaness76 Sorry just to correct you its wrong to say African for the "Afrikanse" language its AFRIKAANS. I get a bit upset when my teachers and class friends in switzerland say "You speak African?" and then im like "um..NO I speak Afrikaans". African is allot of dif. languages in Africa just to to correct you thoug :D
hahaha That afrikaans guy sounds like a retard:P And the Dutch guy on the telefone was really polite with him. hahaha funny as hell. Je klinkt als een idioot man:P
@evildeathmonkey1 They guy can't speak afrikaans properly, because he is english south african. Doesn't help that he was trying to do the Dutch accent either. The Afrikaans normally is alot gruffer. Almost Germanic (sounding) really.
The main reason for Afrikaans being different from modern Dutch isn't the old vocabulary, but the simplified grammar - saying 'ons het' to a Dutch speaker is like saying 'us has' to an English speaker. And written Afrikaans uses simplified spelling - 'skool' looks as silly to a Dutch speaker as it would to an English speaker - in Dutch, it's written exactly the same - 'school'. But I still love Afrikaans - though not Whackhead's version! :)
afrikaans is dutch but then whit an aksent and a bit twisted words, i'm dutch and I got a friend of my from afrika and we could make a good conversation but just not to fast ;) I am dutch
wow that south african DJ at 30 secs actually says that dutch is simular to afrikaans asif this is something surprising and coinsidental. Afrikaans derrived from Dutch my friend! Therefore Afrikaans would not exist if it wasnt for Dutch. I cannot believe this man does not know his own fucking history.
great. i am german, i will understand a dutchman if he doesn't talk to fast.
i think you need to know some english to understand some words though (some like "bellen" are from english, a german will think you are "barking him" when you "bell him", that is "phone him").
@laertesman Ik ben Nederlands en spreek verder Duits, Noors, Engels en ben in SA geweest! Ik studeer Nederlands en weet dus hoe onze taal er in de gouden eeuw uitzag, je hebt het over dingen waar je niks over weet, dus lul niet uit je nek sukkel!
@laertesman well nearly none dutch can EASILY understand Afrikaans, maybe if we hang around in the SA for a while, we start to understand.... But all dutch understanding afrikaans is definiatly not true... And sure Dutch and Afrikaans are more like one another then like German, but all i said was that, middle dutch was more like afrikaans and german in some ways then that modern day dutch is
Not to strange, the difference Afrikaans has from standard Dutch is smaller than the difference with West-Flemish and Limburgish. Not too surprisingly Limburgish is even considered a separate language although when investigating the common, unstandardized languages, of the continental West-Germanic languages it's considered as a dialect of Low-Franconian which includes all Dialects of Dutch and Afrikaans.
Het hy die woord "mekaar " gebruik? Dit het geklink asof hy gese het: Ons ken mekaar nie. Dit klink erg Afrikaans. Ek was onder die indruk dat in Nederland slegs "elkaar" gebruik word.
Dit was heel snaaks. Whackhead se Afrikaans is wel baie swak, hoor! Die Nederlander was baie beskaafd, ek sou lankal die foon neergegooi het.
Ek kon die Nederlands heel goed verstaan, seker omdat die Nederlander nie 'n baie sterk aksent het nie. En Christian de Lange klink na 'n eg Afrikaanse naam en van!
Holy Moly. On the Bob Marley parts the Dutchman sounds like (coincidentally) like an American from Southern parts of the U.S.
Never thought that the Dutch language would have sort kinly-ness in terms dialect--surreally even towards the "Southern" dialect even.
That's wierdly cool and funny at the same time. If it came down to portraying an American from the South through close Germanic speaking means just from close accents--your best bet is a Dutchman, heheh.
Actually, as being Swedish and having learnt a bit of Afrikaans from my SA friends, I could speak and make myself understood when I was in Amsterdam. The modern Dutch is more similiar to German, and as my native language is Swedish and my third foreign language, after English, is German I found it easier to learn and understand Dutch.
Also, Sweden traded with both Germany and Holland so our language has a lot of similarities.
Lol.. they are all in the same group of languages, ie germanic languages.. the only reason why english is so different from the rest is because it has had 1500 years of exposure to non-germanic languages like latin, french, scottish and welsh.
@southafricaness76 well the Middle Dutch (of which afrikaans descends) was way more similar to German gramatically then that modern day Dutch is. I personally think that the three are gramatically evenly apart from oneanother, except for a large identicity between Afrikaans and modern day Dutch nouns.
Ghaha dit is zo grappig ik ben een nederlander die in suid afrika woond! :P die nederlander die wacky simpson belt is een dikke homo volgends mij :P highveld stereo is echt goed, 5 fm kan weg en meer van high veld!!! :P ;)
Afrikaners are Dutch colonist and they know that. Boers are the ones that focus on Africa. And the English speaking like Whackhead are British colonist. Get ur facts
So the Boerevolk love the soil of Africa. Point is , do they also love the people of Africa ?? I am talking of the aangebore mense , the native people , of Africa , do the Boers consider the Zulu and Venda as their brothers , or do the Boers consider a British white man as thier brother ??
I don't think they see the Zulu and Venda as their brothers. But they also don't hate them. You see... it were not the Boers who invented Apartheid. The Boers only were ''rebels'' that wanted to have a own country. Fighting against the Dutch and later on British.
Actually, 'apartheid' was a phrase coined by the Afrikaner National Party after they won the election in 48. They invented the system of apartheid - all of the legal and social instruments, like the Homelands and the Group Areas Act and the secret police and so on.
So yeah, they did invent it. The British discriminated against black people, but the Afrikaners took it a whole new level.
Also in South Africa there is alot of difference between races. It's not like USA and Europe were the brown and black people are equal. In SA there is a difference between brown and black people. the black people gets more discriminated by the browns than by the whites. Also a brown person never wants to get called black.
sindhi you damn jealous prick are you always going to cry about other languages? do u also want to ban them speaking english and only speak isizulu and that stuff?
Een Nederlandstalige kan perfect geschreven Afrikaans lezen . Het horen en spreken is wat moeilijker omdat we die klanken niet gewoon zijn . Afrikaans is een kreooltaal van het Nederlands , daarom dat we elkaar verstaan/begrijpen . Whackhead is only interested in making jokes with the Dutch/Afrikaans language . Typical English arrogance :( . Hy moet skop onder die gat kry
Afrikaans in the written form is actually easier for a Dutchman to understand than in the spoken form. Any Afrikaner can also read any Dutch newspaper and understand it and any Dutchman can read any Afrikaans newspaper, Spoken Afrikaans is a bit more difficult for a Dutchmen and vice versa...
the only thing dutch and german have in comment is that they are germanic langueges, just like english, english is just as similar too german as dutch too german
u haven't seen were the discussion is going about, it's about that u can't make yourself understood in germany using afrikaans, not about dutch and afrikaans, i know that using afrikaans u can communicate with a dutchman!
Afrikaans en Nederlands zijn in principe dezelfde taal, ze zijn alleen anders ontwikkelt door de eeuwen heen...deze video is daar een bewijs van..de video is erg grappig...hah@
Afrikaans and Dutch are basicly the same language, they are only evolved differently through the centuries...this video is a prove of this...the video is very funny...hah@
hey this is nice... i'm mexican and i'm finishing to learn dutch and i understood everythink... by the way i liked the way it sounds the Afrikaans !!!
OMG...lol lmimp...this is sooooooooo funny...im a south african in holland at the moment...lol its true...dutch is really similar to afrikaans...lol lmimp het spijt mij heel erg...omw its so hillarious!!!
Ben net terug van zes weken aan de Kaap. Afrikaans verstaan is geen enkel probleem, je moet het alleen willen... En het klinkt nog mooi ook. Maar ja, er zijn nu eenmaal van die blanda's (makamba's, kaaskoppen) die neerkijken op al wie niet met een Randstadaccent praat. Tja...
If a person speak slow standard Afrikaans with no slang than people can understand you. It's when Afrikaans people speak slang Afrikaans, that people can't understand you. The same with Dutch when dutch people speak slow standard Dutch it's understandable but with slang it becomes more difficult.
It's so funny Afrikaans and Dutch are very similar but it's a bit like..verbs change places and sometimes they use slightly different words for something.
hehe, this was very easy to understand fore me as a dutchman. There were only a few words I didn't get. The afrikaans spoken here is easier to understand than a lot of dialects back here in the netherlands.
And I think you can make yourself understood, but only to a certain degree. Dutch and German are mutual intelligable in simple conversations.
When I were a 8-year-old kid I made myself understood in Germany and Austria so...
In the beginning that woman says that Germans can understand Afrikaans.. WATTEHELL?!
I don't really think so (or maybe we should just ask a German).
I'm Dutch and people always say how much German and Dutch look alike, in some way it's true, but there are soooo many stuff that are different! And Afrikaans is still different in some way.
Okay, anyway, just wanted to say that woman talks crap :P

Also, Sweden traded with both Germany and Holland so our language has a lot of similarities.

Lol.. they are all in the same group of languages, ie germanic languages.. the only reason why english is so different from the rest is because it has had 1500 years of exposure to non-germanic languages like latin, french, scottish and welsh.

@southafricaness76 well the Middle Dutch (of which afrikaans descends) was way more similar to German gramatically then that modern day Dutch is. I personally think that the three are gramatically evenly apart from oneanother, except for a large identicity between Afrikaans and modern day Dutch nouns.

Afrikaners are Dutch colonist and they know that. Boers are the ones that focus on Africa. And the English speaking like Whackhead are British colonist. Get ur facts

So the Boerevolk love the soil of Africa. Point is , do they also love the people of Africa ?? I am talking of the aangebore mense , the native people , of Africa , do the Boers consider the Zulu and Venda as their brothers , or do the Boers consider a British white man as thier brother ??
Sindhi78 2 years ago
No they don't either seeing as the British killed so many in the Anglo Boere-war..
And what the Zulu tribes and other tribes have turned into
gusie258 2 years ago
I don't think they see the Zulu and Venda as their brothers. But they also don't hate them. You see... it were not the Boers who invented Apartheid. The Boers only were ''rebels'' that wanted to have a own country. Fighting against the Dutch and later on British.
Ricardothe1337 2 years ago
they never did fight the dutch
smoke0imix0god 2 years ago
Actually, 'apartheid' was a phrase coined by the Afrikaner National Party after they won the election in 48. They invented the system of apartheid - all of the legal and social instruments, like the Homelands and the Group Areas Act and the secret police and so on.
So yeah, they did invent it. The British discriminated against black people, but the Afrikaners took it a whole new level.

Also in South Africa there is alot of difference between races. It's not like USA and Europe were the brown and black people are equal. In SA there is a difference between brown and black people. the black people gets more discriminated by the browns than by the whites. Also a brown person never wants to get called black.

Een Nederlandstalige kan perfect geschreven Afrikaans lezen . Het horen en spreken is wat moeilijker omdat we die klanken niet gewoon zijn . Afrikaans is een kreooltaal van het Nederlands , daarom dat we elkaar verstaan/begrijpen . Whackhead is only interested in making jokes with the Dutch/Afrikaans language . Typical English arrogance :( . Hy moet skop onder die gat kry

Afrikaans in the written form is actually easier for a Dutchman to understand than in the spoken form. Any Afrikaner can also read any Dutch newspaper and understand it and any Dutchman can read any Afrikaans newspaper, Spoken Afrikaans is a bit more difficult for a Dutchmen and vice versa...

maybe in certain parts of Germany you could. In the northwest where they speak Plattdeutsch and some even Frisian. It's pretty similar to Dutch.
leeroy77 2 years ago
i don't think so because that what makes plattdeutsch and frisian different from the dutch language, makes afrikaans similar too the dutch language

What is the differemce between " Praat jy Afrikaans" and "Spreke jy Afrikaans" ??
What is the difference between " Hoe gaan di t" and " Hoe gaat het " ??
The difference between "Ons" and "Onze".
Now tell me whether Dutch and Afrikaans is mutually intelligible or not !!

If a person speak slow standard Afrikaans with no slang than people can understand you. It's when Afrikaans people speak slang Afrikaans, that people can't understand you. The same with Dutch when dutch people speak slow standard Dutch it's understandable but with slang it becomes more difficult.
Standard AFrikaans Hoe gaan dit?
In Slang people say: Hoezit?
Hoezit will not be understood by the Dutch
but Hoe gaan dit , will be understood.
hermangu 2 years ago
I think Dutch people will understand "Hoezit?" as well
Dutch for "How are you?" is "Hoe gaat het?" or "Hoe is het?"
The latter gets shortened is daily speech and can be pronounced in ways very similar to "Hoezit?"

It's so funny Afrikaans and Dutch are very similar but it's a bit like..verbs change places and sometimes they use slightly different words for something.
Sort of like..with English someone saying.
"I want to take a drive in your car"
and then it becomes.
"I walt take roll you noisy carriage"
I mean you get it but you don't. :)

hehe, this was very easy to understand fore me as a dutchman. There were only a few words I didn't get. The afrikaans spoken here is easier to understand than a lot of dialects back here in the netherlands.
And I think you can make yourself understood, but only to a certain degree. Dutch and German are mutual intelligable in simple conversations.
When I were a 8-year-old kid I made myself understood in Germany and Austria so...

In the beginning that woman says that Germans can understand Afrikaans.. WATTEHELL?!
I don't really think so (or maybe we should just ask a German).
I'm Dutch and people always say how much German and Dutch look alike, in some way it's true, but there are soooo many stuff that are different! And Afrikaans is still different in some way.
Okay, anyway, just wanted to say that woman talks crap :P
