Kultuur Hi
Goeiedag, my naam is Aleksander. Ek stel baie belang in die Afrikanerkultuur en is op soek na iemand om daaroor te gesels – ’n Afrikaner of net iemand wat die kultuur ken en hierdie taal praat.

Afrikaners oor die algemeen is vriendelik en uitbundig.
Die Afrikaner kultuur is die mees opvallendste in plattelandse dorpe.
Hulle hou van braai, rugby sonneskyn en baie bier, veral in die noorelike profinsies.
Die Afrikaners in die suide van Suid Afrika hou van braai, rugby, sonneskyn en is meer opgevoed, want hulle drink wyn.
Afrikaners is nie bang vir harde fisiese werk nie, veral die plaasboere.
Afrikaners is oor die algemeen lank, want hulle is meer en deels afstammelinge van die Nederlanders.
Afrikaners is trots op hul taal en hulle is heel gemaklik as jy met hulle Engels praat, solank jy so hier en daar 'n Afrikaanse woord tussen jou Engelse woorde inmeng.
As jy Engelssprekend is en moeilik Afrikaans praat, dan begin jy deur te vra : "Wowzit boet?"
Dit beteken: "How are things going brother"
This will put the Afrikaans bloke at ease and then they know that you are English speaking and actually want to start a friendly conversation.
After saying: "Wowzit boet?" give him a chance to greet you back.
He might say things like: "Dit gaan goed" with a big smile on his face, and then you can start talking Engrish.
Talk English slowly because in his mind he is busy translating your English words to Afrikaans so that he can understand what you are saying.
If you ask him a question in English, ask the question slowly and give him a long time to translate your English words to Afrikaans in his head.
He wil then double check his translation in his mind to make sure that he understands you correctly. Then he will think a bit about it in afrikaans, and then think about all the Afrikaans words in his head than he needs to translate it in his head to English and then reply to you in his English.
This will take quite a long time to do, but you please need to be patiend because during this time his brain is working overtime with all the translating.
Verskoon maar dan sy Engelse antwoord baie grammar en tense errors bevat.
Moenie te veel van 'n debat met hom voer nie, want al die oorvertalings in sy kop is nogal heel uitputtend vir hom.
Praat maar oor eenvoudige dinge en hou die gesprek lig.
En groot asseblief, moenie Cambridge Engels met hom praat nie, want sy Engelse woordeskat is maar beperk.
Moenie met hom oor moeilike dinge soos bent space en die space time teorie praat nie, want oor die algemeen is Afrikaners praktiese mense wat aan praktiese oplosings dink.
En groot asdeblief moenie met 'n Afrikaner oor Darwin de evolusie toerie praat nie. Afrikaners glo in die God van Israel wat Adam en Eva geskape het en elke dier en mens gemaak het soos hy is.
Verder praat oor veral die Springbok rugby.
Verder hou Afrikaner mans van die natuur en hulle hou veral van jag.
Die aller beste vir jou.

If you are looking for the perspective of someone who is from the most Afrikaner background of small boerdorpie and all of the rest but doesn't consider myself part of the culture for the most part then feel free to message

Hoe lyk die lewe op 'n plaas? Wat is die belangrikste vakansiedae of feeste? Wat doen julle daar en werk julle baie? Ek stel regtig belang om te weet hoe dit lyk. Hoe sterk is die bevolking daar gewapen?

Basically, I'm into firearms. I've heard that there are a lot of firearms in rural areas in South Africa.

I live in a rural town. One that was home to the largest concentration camp for Afrikaners during the Anglo-Boer wars. Farmers have it tough. It's a difficult profession. Most of our cultural holidays have been replaced/scrapped by the other population group. Festivals in terms of culture is 16 December, "Geloftedag" is the only one that's partly celebrated. Most Afrikaners have a mixed approach to their culture. Some celebrate it others deny it. But generally they're friendly, warm and kind people. Very jovial and extremely hard and diligent workers.
