#CapeHawthorn aka #WaterHawthorn.
It's native to #SouthAfrica. People there have long cultivated & harvested the buds & flowers as food. It's used to make #WaterblommetjieBredie - a traditional South African stew. The #Afrikaans name of this traditional cultural dish translates to "stew of little water flowers".

Recipe:

It's not a widely known edible water plant here. It's delicious. If you enjoy green beans - you'll probably enjoy eating Cape hawthorn buds/flowers too.

My partner: Why does the weather lady keep saying to buy a coat? 🤔 In Afrikaans buy a coat means very cold. So I guess you could buy a coat when it’s "baie koud". 😂 #Afrikaans

So we all know what the English word "defenestrate" means, right? If you didn't, it's the act of throwing someone out of a window.

But South Africans, my dear South Africans, have you ever considered that the word sounds a little bit like the Afrikaans phrase, "die venster uit"?

I'm never going to unhear that now. Never. 🙈

I have not found many resources & speaker in #afrikaans I like to get accostumed to languages by reading them or trying to read them regularily For afrikaans I make the assumption I can recyle a huge part of my reading nederlands. (I think I can read B2 but with some help & it's domain dependent)

🇿🇦 **Can Black South Africans be Afrikaners?**

"_There are millions of Coloured and Black South Africans who speak Afrikaans as their first language. They share the same taal, eat the same food, tell the same jokes. The numbers tell their own story: today, roughly six in ten Afrikaans speakers in South Africa are Black or Coloured._

_Yet historically, they’ve been excluded from the Afrikaner identity by those who insisted it was defined by race as much as culture._"

Come to think of it, "overmorrow" is *also* obsolete in English. But "oormore" in Afrikaans is not, and likewise, directly translates to "overmorrow", meaning, "The day after tomorrow." :) #English #Afrikaans #words

The Wiktionary "Word of the Day" today is, "ereyesterday", which means -- logically enough to me -- "the day before yesterday."

They say it's obsolete except in Ireland and Scotland.

But that made me think of the Afrikaans word, "eergister", which literally translates to "ereyesterday", and means the same thing. And it's anything but obsolete; you hear it literally all. the. time.

Afrikaanse tekenprent nostalgie

Hierdie is sommer net ‘n vinnige terugblik na van ons ou Afrikaanse tekenprente wat destyds op SAUK televisie uitgesaai is.

Vandag word die vraag op WordPress se daaglikse skryfstimulus gevra: wat is jou gunsteling tekenprent, oftewel “cartoon?”

Ek is self nie ‘n groot aanhanger van tekenprente, strokiesprente ensovoorts nie. As gevolg van my siggestremdheid kon ek glad nie daardie boekies lees wat soveel ouers, onderwysers en ander bekommerde burgers hoofbrekens besorg het.

Die tekenprente wat op televisie vertoon was, het ek wel op my manier gevolg. Daar was bekende kenwysies wat aangedui het dat ‘n gleuf van tekenprente uitgesaai gaan word. Daar was die snaakse stemme van die karakters, veral op Amerikaanse tekenprente soos Bugs Bunny en vele andere. Daar was die geluide van aksies wat die karakters uitvoer, getekende karretjies waarmee hulle dalk gery het, snaakse liedjies wat deur die karakters gesing is ensovoorts.

Die gehalte van dialoog op hierdie tekenprente het soms gewissel. Die idee was immers dat dit tog ‘n tekenprent is en dat jy al die aksies moes sien. Juis daarom het Afrikaanse prente uitgestaan vir hulle goeie dialoog.

Dink maar aan Nuustak, oor die uil en verkleurmannetjie wat die nuusgebeure op ‘n komiese manier bespreek, of ou Katvis en Grootbek die haai se avonture. Hierdie prente is op die SAUK se oggendnuusprogram, Goeiemore Suid-Afrika, uitgesaai.

Gelukkig is ons steeds bevoorreg om van hierdie tekenprente op Youtube te kan hê sodat selfs jonger mense dit steeds kan kyk en geniet.

Kom ons begin eers met ‘n paar Nuustak prente.

Wat op aarde is ‘n ombutsman nou eintlik?

‘n Jong dienspligtige van Potchefstroom het sy naam met ‘n plank geslaan toe hy teen die naaldrots by Graskop opgeklim het en nie kon afkom nie.

Ou trapsuutjies het eksamen geskryf en deel van sy toetsvrae het oor geheue gehandel, maar daar slaan sy geheue mos toe en kon hy nie onthou wat hy geskryf het nie.

Nou vir ‘n bietjie Katvis, Grootbek en Vreeslose Freddie.

Dis omtrent ‘n heen en weer uitoorlê hierdie.

Hoe nou gemaak as die reus skielik sy stysel wil verruil vir vis?

Waar kan so ‘n stout, spuitende seekarkatjie jou nie laat beland nie, veral as jy dink jy is die haai en jy is so kwaai en die mees gevreesde ding op aarde.

Grootbek en Katvis ontsnap uit die Seeland Akwarium, maar waarheen nou?

Ek hoop julle het hierdie videos net so geniet soos wat ek dit geniet het om dit saam met julle te kon kyk en dit hier te plaas.
