As Bushma requested, herewith some phrases to assist you if you should pay our beautiful county a visit one day.  Smile

Howzit? [Meaning how are you and how is everything]

Hoe gaan dit [Hoo ghaan dit: how are you?]

Baie dankie [Buy-yeer dhan kee: Thanks much]

Hoe lyk dit met 'n bier? [How about a beer?]

Jy lyk pragtig [You are gorgeous]

And finally for now because I am who I am:

Jou ma se ouma-grootjie se tottie se punt: All I can say is that this is a devastating insult.  Buggedout Buggedout

Does it mean, "may you sniff the underpants of an archivist?"

If not, how would you say that in Afrikaans?

It doesn't sound as sexy when you call them "nose gate holes" does it?   TeddyR

Awesome thread!

How about "Leave me alone"?  According to my son that's the one thing you need to know in any language.

According to Google Translate:  "Your mother's great-grandmother's Tottie's point." 

Obviously, this is not an accurate translation.  But any insult that mentions your mother's great grandmother is an automatic classic.

Leave is 'los' [lors]
Me is 'my' [may]
Alone is 'uit' [pronounced eight and also means 'out']

Live: would be 'Leef' [pronounced lee-erf]
Long: Lank [larr-ink]
Prosper: I think the best word would be 'sterkte' [strength] or 'voorspoed' [success].

So: "Leef / lewe lank en voorspoed". Sounds OK.  Smile

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
