Afrikaans Numbers

Cardinal Numbers

Afrikaans uses a decimal system, which means that the counting system is based on groups of ten. Below are the cardinal numbers from one to ten in Afrikaans:

Afrikaans Pronunciation English
een ayn one
twee tvay two
drie three three
vier feer four
vyf fayf five
ses ses six
sewe say-vuh seven
agt ugt eight
nege nay-ghuh nine
tien teen ten

To form the numbers from eleven to nineteen, simply add the word "tien" to the end of the cardinal number. For example, "elf" means "eleven" (een + tien), and "vyftien" means "fifteen" (vyf + tien).

To form the multiples of ten (20, 30, 40, and so on), use the cardinal number followed by the word "tig". For example, "twintig" means "twenty" (twee + tig), "dertig" means "thirty" (drie + tig), and so on.

For larger numbers, use the word "honderd" (hundred) to form the numbers from 100 to 900. Combine the cardinal number with the word "honderd" and any remaining numbers after that. For example, "driehonderd" means "three hundred" (drie + honderd), and "tweehonderdtwee-en-vyftig" means "two hundred and fifty-two" (twee + honderd + twee + en + vyftig).

Ordinal Numbers

Ordinal numbers are used to indicate position or order. In Afrikaans, they are formed simply by adding "-de" to the cardinal number. For example, "derde" means "third" (drie + de), and "vyfde" means "fifth" (vyf + de).

Shopping and Bargaining

Vocabulary

Here are some common Afrikaans shopping and bargaining words and phrases:

  • winkel - shop
  • mark - market
  • koop - buy
  • verkoop - sell
  • prys - price
  • goedkoop - cheap
  • duur - expensive
  • bargain - bargain
  • afslag - discount
  • kaartjie - ticket
  • kassier - cashier
  • betaal - pay
  • kredietkaart - credit card
  • kontant - cash
  • sak - bag
  • pas - fit (for clothes)
  • grootte - size
  • ruil - exchange
  • retour - return

Useful Phrases

Here are some useful Afrikaans phrases to use while shopping or bargaining:

  • Mag ek vra hoeveel dit kos? - Can I ask how much this costs?
  • Is daar 'n afslag beskikbaar? - Is there a discount available?
  • Ek is opsoek na 'n koopie wat goedkoop is. - I'm looking for a bargain that is cheap.
  • Dit is te duur, kan jy 'n beter prys gee? - That is too expensive, can you give me a better price?
  • Ek wil dit graag koop. - I would like to buy it.
  • Het jy dit in 'n ander grootte / kleur? - Do you have it in a different size / color?
  • Kan ek dit ruil vir iets ander? - Can I exchange it for something else?
  • Kan ek dit asseblief terugbring? - Can I please return it?
  • Ek gebruik kontant / 'n kredietkaart om te betaal. - I will pay with cash / a credit card.

Numerical Expressions

When shopping, it's important to know how to express numbers in Afrikaans. Here are some examples:

Afrikaans Pronunciation English
Een kilogram ayn kee-lo-gram One kilogram
Twee bokse tvay bocks-uh Two boxes
Drie pare skoene three pah-ruh skoon-uh Three pairs of shoes
Vier hemde feer hem-duh Four shirts
Vyf penne fayf pen-nuh Five pens

When expressing larger numbers or prices, Afrikaans uses a decimal point instead of a comma. So instead of writing "10,000", Afrikaans would write it as "10.000".

Conclusion

By mastering the Afrikaans numbers and shopping vocabulary in this lesson, you will be better equipped to navigate Afrikaans-speaking countries, shop and bargain effectively, and communicate with confidence in everyday situations. Don't forget to practice and use these skills as often as possible!
