Dutch-speaking people will laugh when they see Afrikaans signs for an "aftrekplek"
but they've installed a swing set on the Dutch/Belgian border in Baarle-Hertog/Nassau and I had to listen to a news reporter asking people including kids whether they like to "schommelen", so it goes both ways
Girles were children
The ancestor of the word girl meant 'child of any gender'. Its meaning narrowed to 'young female human' during the Middle English period. The meanings of words change over time. This is called semantic drift. Click my new graphic below to have a closer look at five examples of narrowing. Tomorrow we'll dive into the opposite semantic change: widening.

OK Afrikaanssprekendes op tumblr, hoe spreek jy die afkorting "me." (die Afrikaanse weergawe van "Ms" in Engels) uit?
"mevrou x"
"mejuffrou x"
"me x"
"juffrou x"
Iets anders
Ek's bles (I don't speak Afrikaans / see results)
As jy onseker is: "Me." is 'n geskrewe titel vir 'n vrou wat nie haar huwelikstatus aandui nie (soortgelyk aan die Engelse "Ms").
Daar was onlangs 'n gewilde post oor hoe "Ms." in Engels as "Mizz" uitgespreek moet word, nie as "Miss" nie. So ek is nuuskierig oor wat mense in Afrikaans doen as hulle iemand met die titel "Me." moet aanspreek.
something i have been SO curious about as long as i can remember is what my accent is and what it would sound like to someone from another country/ continent… or anyone really… because like. my home language is afrikaans (kind of like dutch). but i’ve gone to english schools my whole life. but my family also moved around a bit during my childhood (regions and countries). but my highschool was kind of international but not really. but also my friendgroup has a whole range of accents and we all have relatively different cultural backgrounds. but also i am (and was) super introverted so i barely engaged with other groups in school… and still i don’t sound like any of my friends. ANYWAYS yeah i don’t even sound like my brother who i’m probably the closest to and have had the same upbringing as when speaking english idk anymore 😭
ohh, does kooi mean "cage" in Dutch ? it means "bed" in Afrikaans, though it's a bit old-fashioned (we have hok for "cage", or kou for a "bird cage" specifically)
Yeah! I mean very specifically on ships “kooi” also refers to a sleeping place, but for bed we have “bed”. Wonder if the Afrikaans (do we say Afrikaanse in English? I guess not but this feels wrong to me) comes from the ship meaning!
Bird cage is “(vogel)kooi”. “Hok” also works, but to me a “kooi” has bars and a “hok” doesn’t, although that might just be me and the line isn’t super sharp. Also only tangentially related but brb checking the etymology for “lichtekooi” (old-timey insult for sex workers or just generally sluts (I’m using this word unwillingly))
Okay I’m back unclear if etymologically related but I’m not typing it all out here if interested check out etymologiebank.nl (my beloved)
