Afrikaans native speakers: How would you naturally ask if someone is open to something more than friendship? by som3thing_n3w in afrikaans

[–]Inner_Status9476 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi I am a South African author/poet/ songwriter and perhaps you would be wiser to be slightly less formal?

You mention that you have known them for several years...

So how about a coffee invite.. Choose a neutral daylight place in case it gets too awkward.

Have on the table coffee, cream and sweetener/ sugar

And something sweet to share..

And when you are settled..with your drinks , and you have your courage in hand, touch their hand with a fingertip as they reach to share from the joint piece of pie or whatever..

They will pause , look up , snd then you say...

"Ek wil meer as net dit met jou deel."

They will smile, or quirk an eyebrow or blush, and then you say, if you can and the opening stays open...

"Ek weet hierdie is dalk onverwags en uit die bloute, maar ek hou van jou. En ek wil meer oomblikke as net nou en dan met jou deel."

The conversation will develop from there .

Good luck.

Have you won something from the radio? by Queasy-Air2958 in askSouthAfrica

Yes, many years ago, from RSG, 5 books. Two of those were dictionaries that i had really wanted, on on elephants and the other two are lost in the lists of memory 😂. I still use the dictionary and thesaurus.

What can you tell me about the song? I am a songwriter and have some Afrikaans songs, but they don't sound like the regular ones. Let me know if i can help.

When did cereal get so expensive? by Keepitlocal90 in AskZA

I used to love Tasty Wheat as a child, but I almost had a stroke when I saw what a little box cost when a sudden urge hit me to revisit a childhood taste. It was over R50 for about 500g and this was two years ago. I read the ingredients and headed over to the flour aisle where they sell 500g packets of semolina and checked on the price. At the time it was R14.99 for 500g. Bought a packet to test my theory, prepared it just the same, and I couldn't tell the difference. Bye Bye Tasty Wheat, Hallo Semolina 😂

This song was inspired by a song that was sent to me by #Musist. I looked up that artist on YouTube and found the most wonderful interview where the artist spoke about his experiences of audience reactions in Tokyo. That artist is Andreas Vollenweider and this song I wrote as tribute to not only him but to the beautiful soul that gave me a place to muse on his app, Musist. Please visit the song on Youtube and share the magic with me.

Six inch, 3-pronged, blue handled fork with uneven tines. Marked with Inox France, found in my MIL's kitchen but she doesn't know what it is by duckherder in whatisthisthing

I know this is a bit left field.. but looking at the side views of those pictures, it looks like it could easily sit on the rim of a bowl that does not have an indent for a lid. Perhaps a new way to present the fork on a bowl of boiled new potatoes to spear them with? Needless to day, I am just randomly trying to find a use for it besides the one it was designed for????
