FYI kortbroek is shorts in English :) Afrikaans is 'n grappige taal als Nederlander! :D Fun fact: you have an easier time understanding Dutch than vice versa, I always felt weird that you guys seemed to be fine with Dutch but I couldn't understand sentences in Afrikaans but it seems that it's not just me. Let me know if you care about the reasoning, I didn't fully get it but can probably find the original video where I learned this.
Also sorry for the off topic but I figured two days after the thread mostly died (everything's so ephemeral here) it doesn't really matter.
