matriots - English words of Afrikaans origin

(E?)(L?) http://www.matriots.com/cyberbraai/
What South Africans really mean when they say the things they say.
One of the most cheerful things about South Africans is the way we take over words from each others' languages without so much as a how-de-do or thank you.
If it sounds better in the other guy's taal, then just use it. This happy habit of verbal pilfering puzzles overseas visitors sometimes, but it may be one of the reasons why we were able to pull off the Big Transition two years ago to everybody's surprise but our own. If you use your new neighbor's words, it won't be long before you are chommies.

Am 02.09.2004 waren folgende Begriffe mit kurzen Hinweisen aufgelistet:

LEXICON 1: Isit? Jawelnofine!:
A survival guide for visitors to South Africa.
You better read this, hey.
What is a "braai"? It is the first thing you will be invited to when you visit South Africa. A braai is a backyard barbecue and it will take place whatever the weather. So you will have to go even if it's raining like mad and hang of a cold. At a braai you will be introduced to a substance known as mealiepap. Read further for an explanation of "pap".
Now that you know what a braai is, here are some other words and phrases you will encounter in South Africa, used by folk of all persuasions, genders and ethnic adherences. You do need to know what they mean. Really.

Mit der Seglerei wurde das südafrikanische Zulu-Wort "Shosholoza" in aller Welt bekannt.

Dafür ist in Südafrika der Name "Shosholoza" ein fester Begriff. Der traditionelle südafrikanische Folksong, der von schwarzen Minenarbeitern stammt, wurde 1995 nach dem Gewinn des Rugby-World-Cup ein Hit. Übersetzt heisst "Shosholoza": "Geh vorwärts!" Es kann aber auch heissen: "Mach Platz!" - für den nächsten, also für den, der von hinten kommt.

"Shosholoza" kann auch als "Ärmel hochkrempeln" übersetzt werden.

wikipedia - List of English words of Afrikaans origin

(E?)(L?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Afrikaans_origin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Several words from the Afrikaans language have been absorbed into English, primarily from British soldiers who served in the Boer Wars. Many more have entered common usage in South African English due to the parallel nature of the English and Afrikaner cultures in South Africa.

Am 02.09.2004 waren folgende (verlinkte) Begriffe aufgeführt:
Internationally Common: aardvark | aardwolf | apartheid | commando | commandeer (verb) | scoff (as in scoffing food) | slim | spoor | springbok | trek | wildebeest | veld (or veldt)

There are almost innumerable borrowings from Afrikaans in South African English, including "braai" (a shortening of braaivleis, a barbeque), "dorp" (a small town), "kopje" (a hillock), "kraal" (a corruption of the Portuguese curral, an enclosure for cattle), "laager" (a defensive circle of wagons) and "lekker" (a slang word for 'nice' or 'good').
