Grade 8 Afrikaans FAL – 🧠 Les: Manlike en Vroulike Vorm
Lesson Introduction
📌 Wat beteken dit?
Elke persoon het ‘n geslag – male of female. In Afrikaans verander ons party woorde as ons van ‘n manlike (manlik = male) persoon na ‘n vroulike (vroulik = female) persoon praat.
In English: Some words in Afrikaans change depending on whether we are talking about a male or female person.
